- 3. AUS Students
- 7. IL instruction at AUS
- 8. Active Learning The challenge to engage Alternatives to lecture based classes Extend assessment efforts Opportunity to explore new technologies
- 9. Initial Study (2009) : Clickers
- 11. Research questions Do clickers have a positive impact in the Library instruction environment? How do students perform during in-class activities? Are students demonstrating an increase in IL skills post-class?
- 12. Methodology Pre-class assessment In-class testing and review Post-class assessment
- 13. Outcomes Students perceived clickers to be an effective learning tool •A change from passive learning to a more active learning format produced increased learning outcomes •Students demonstrated an increase in IL skills post-class (6%)
- 14. Extending the research… Lecture PBL Clickers Information Literacy Assessment
- 15. Research questions Do other active learning techniques produce positive results? Which technique has the most positive impact? How does student performance compare?
- 16. Who participated in the study? English 204 students (Spring 2010) Clickers Problem Based Learning (PBL) Lecture - Style 79 students 68 students 52 students 4 sections 4 sections 4 sections
- 17. Methodology Pre-class assessment In-class testing / review / feedback Post-class assessment
- 18. What competencies did we study? 1. Key concept identification 2. Combining key concepts 3. Refining results
- 19. Class Design
- 20. Overall results Differences between pre & post IL class assessments CLICKERS TRADITIONAL LECTURE PBL + 0.3% + 2.7% + 2.4%
- 21. Drawing overall conclusions … Overall performance? Most effective methodology? Effective measures?
- 22. Results Competency – Key concept identification CLICKERS TRADITIONAL PBL Competency – Combining key concepts using Boolean operators CLICKERS TRADITIONAL PBL Competency – Combining key concepts using quotation marks CLICKERS TRADITIONAL PBL + 0.8 % + 8.0 % + 2.0 % - 2.3 % + 14.6 % + 3.9 % - 5.5 % - 7.2 % - 3.7 %
- 23. Results Competency – Refining results CLICKERS TRADITIONAL PBL Competency – Refining results CLICKERS TRADITIONAL PBL + 3.4 % - 0.3 % - 0.6 % - 0.8 % - 3.7 % +15.5 %
