Title: Systematic Literature Review of Students’ Affective Responses to Active Learning: Overview of Results
This full “research” paper presents an overview of results of a systematic literature review of students' affective responses to active learning in undergraduate STEM courses. We considered 2,364 abstracts of conference papers and journal articles published since 1990, and 412 studies met our inclusion criteria. The studies span the STEM disciplines and report various types of active learning. Their research designs include primarily quantitative methods (especially instructor-designed surveys and course evaluations), and they find that students’ affective responses are overwhelmingly positive. Few studies excelled on our quality score metric, and there few statistically significant differences by discipline (but biology studies and chemistry studies scored significantly higher in quality than electrical engineering studies). We include several possible directions for future work.  more » « less

  1. Active learning increases student learning, engagement, and interest in STEM and subsequently, the number and diversity of graduates. Yet, its adoption has been slow, partially due to instructors’ concerns about student resistance. Consequently, researchers proposed explanation and facilitation instructional strategies designed to reduce this resistance. Using surveys from 2-year and 4-year institutions including minority-serving institutions, we investigate the relationship between students’ affective and behavioral responses to active learning, instructors’ use of strategies, and active learning type. Analyses revealed low levels of student resistance and significant relationships between both explanation and facilitation strategy use and positive student responses.

    Open-ended learning environments (OELEs) have become an important tool for promoting constructivist STEM learning. OELEs are known to promote student engagement and facilitate a deeper understanding of STEM topics. Despite their benefits, OELEs present significant challenges to novice learners who may lack the self-regulated learning (SRL) processes they need to become effective learners and problem solvers. Recent studies have revealed the importance of the relationship between students' affective states, cognitive processes, and performance in OELEs. Yet, the relations between students' use of cognitive processes and their corresponding affective states have not been studied in detail. In this paper, we investigate the relations between studentsż˝f affective states and the coherence in their cognitive strategies as they work on developing causal models of scientific processes in the XYZ OELE. Our analyses and results demonstrate that there are significant differences in the coherence of cognitive strategies used by high- and low-performing students. As a result, there are also significant differences in the affective states of the high- and low-performing students that are related to the coherence of their cognitive activities. This research contributes valuable empirical evidence on studentsż˝f cognitive-affective dynamics in OELEs, emphasizing the subtle ways in which students' understanding of their cognitive processes impacts their emotional reactions in learning environments.

  3. In this paper we provide an update in our research studying science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) instructor development in classrooms. Our overarching goal is to expand the adoption of active learning in STEM classrooms. For this study, we created a workshop to educate STEM instructors on what active learning is and ways to implement it into their classrooms. Additionally, this workshop sought to provide instructors with evidence-based strategies that focused on reducing student resistance to active learning. This study used a conducted randomized control trial to investigate the impact of this workshop on: (1) how this workshop impacted STEM instructors’ attitudes towards using active learning, (2) their behaviors in using active learning, and (3) their use of strategies for reducing student resistance to active learning. We collected data from 173 instructors and 1676 students. This paper focuses on our preliminary results as well as next steps for the project. Thus far, we have analyzed the impact of the workshop on our instructor’s use of active learning, and the student responses to these changes.

  4. Increasing academic participation among students from ethnic-racial underrepresented groups in STEM yields societal benefits including ameliorating economic ramifications of the labor shortages in STEM, improving scientific innovation, and providing opportunity, access, and participation in high-status STEM fields. Two longitudinal studies with students from underrepresented groups investigated the role of active learning interventions in the development of STEM self-efficacy and intentions to pursue STEM in the future. Study 1 longitudinally tracked high school students participating in a 4-week geoscience program that applied active learning techniques ranging from hands on experiments to peer discussion. High school student participants displayed increases in self-efficacy and STEM intentions from the start to completion of the program, an effect that was observed exclusively among those who reported strong program quality. Study 2 examined the role of mentorship effectiveness with a sample of community college STEM students interested in transferring to a 4-year college. Students’ relatively strong self-efficacy and STEM intentions at the start of the semester remained stable through the end of the semester. Altogether, the present research highlights the role of positive, inclusive educational climates in promoting STEM success among students from underrepresented group members.

  5. In computer science (CS) higher education, many students in introductory courses (CS1) struggle to learn programming due to both the complexity of the discipline and negative affective experiences while learning. Large class sizes hinder the opportunity to receive support that addresses both disciplinary knowledge and affective experiences, both of which have been shown to influence self-efficacy. Our work utilized a combination of structured daily diaries and retrospective interviews to surface participants’ programming experiences, affective responses, and self-perceptions. Through two case studies, we highlight the intertwined nature of disciplinary knowledge and affective experiences in the learning process of students in CS1, and advocate for increased attention to student interactions with TAs as an opportunity to provide affective support along with disciplinary learning.
