| Abstract Title: | Developing an Observation Protocol to Investigate Factors That Influence Student Success |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | The goal of our work is to investigate how active learning methods and Learning Assistant support impact student outcomes. As part of this work, we are developing a classroom observation protocol that will allow us to identify features of active learning methods and its facilitation that are predictors of learning gains, achievement, retention, and persistence. By focusing on the active portions of a class we are making the assumption that it is in the co-construction of answers that meaningful learning and development occurs. Other protocol design decisions, like classification of the tasks that students are being asked to engage with and their level of engagement in those tasks, involve similar theoretical assumptions. In this presentation we will describe our theoretical framework and our resulting observation protocol design. |
