Li, Rita; Lund, Andreas; Nordsteien, Anita – Teaching in Higher Education, 2023
Flipped learning in higher education is becoming increasingly widespread. Although the number of flipped learning articles has increased since 2011, systematic reviews of flipped learning have been criticized for lacking a theoretical framework. The aim in this article is to explore the link between flipped learning and active learning:…

Peter Doolittle; Krista Wojdak; Amanda Walters – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2023
What is active learning? While active learning has been demonstrated to have positive impacts on student learning and performance, defining the concept has been elusive. Previous research examining active learning definitions in STEM fields found that the vast majority of published articles did not define active learning, and those that did…

Martin Cautivo Querevalú-Pazos – Education 3-13, 2025
Inquiry-based teaching is the most widespread approach in science education worldwide. However, in Peru, this model became better known since the latest curriculum reform in 2016, which proposed implementing that teaching approach at all levels of schooling. Since then, no literature review has been conducted on the status quo of implementing…

Yinmiao Li; Xiaoyang Zhou; Daragh Byrne; Marti Louw – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2024
Within creative domains in studio- and project-based education, documentation is often central to demonstrating outcomes, process, and progress. Despite much prior work into the instructional practices, technologies, and tools that support cultivating documentation practices, no prior work explores the student valuing and perception of…

Eva Oller; Marta Peña; Noelia Olmedo-Torre – Journal of Technology and Science Education, 2024
The application of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in a Reinforced Concrete course through the development of a real-life civil engineering project from its conception, as a coursework, is a challenged experience for students. As long as the coursework evolves, students develop real ways to think as an engineer and they work in an environment similar…

Opdal, Pål Anders – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2022
This paper is a discussion of the concept 'student active forms of learning'. It aims not at conclusions, but at a perspicuous representation--a map for future navigation and understanding of the concept. From the perspective of philosophy of education, I characterize and discuss issues relating to student active learning in the paper. The context…

Dabae Lee; Jozenia T. Colorado-Resa; Yeol Huh – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2025
This developmental study explores the process and outcomes of creating an active learning classroom within a higher education setting. To support student success, institutions have increasingly redesigned their learning spaces to promote active learning. Early initiatives often aimed to facilitate collaborative learning and reduce reliance on…

Rafael Alé-Ruiz; Fernando Martínez-Abad; María Teresa del Moral-Marcos – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
The flexible, changing, and uncertain nature of present-day society requires its citizens have new personal, professional, and social competences which exceed the traditional knowledge-based, academic skills imparted in higher education. This study aims to identify those factors associated with active methodologies that predict university…

Rui M. Lima; Valquíria Villas-Boas; Filomena Soares; Olga S. Carneiro; Paulo Ribeiro; Diana Mesquita – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
This study aims to propose a method for mapping the implementation of active learning approaches by quantifying engineering teachers' self-perception. It also seeks to examine the correlations between the implementation of active learning approaches and training, as well as publications focused on active learning. To conduct the study, active…

Jacqueline Corcoran; Malitta Engstrom; Kate Ledwith; Gerard Jefferies; Tamara J. Cadet – Journal of Teaching in Social Work, 2025
Competency-based education in social work (CSWE, 2022) demands active learning methods that demonstrate professional competencies and practice behaviors. Role-plays and simulations are methods that link learning in the classroom with practice. This article explores role-play and simulation variants: basic role-play, real play, student-scripted…

Stephanie Seiler – Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2024
Calls to increase active learning, an approach that positions students in the center of their learning experience, have increased considerably in recent decades. In response, there has been substantial work to expand our understanding and implementation of active learning approaches in many educational spaces. However, much of this instructional…

Chan Chang-Tik – Educational Research, 2023
Background: Enabling teaching approaches that promote active learning can require a certain amount of organisational reorientation. For example, structural and cultural shifts may be needed to accommodate moves towards student-centred learning. In higher education environments, lecturers can play a significant role in supporting students'…

Julio Navio-Marco; Luis M. Ruiz-Gómez; Raquel Arguedas-Sanz; Carmen López-Martín – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
The rise of the student as prosumer (producer-consumer) of educational content is a novel development that has hitherto been the subject of very little research, especially in relation to the generation of digital contents and materials for online and hybrid education in particular. This article analyses whether there are patterns of behaviour and…

Nathan J. Mentzer; Tonya M. Isabell; Lakshmy Mohandas – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2024
HyFlex learning environments have been meeting the unique needs of students and institutions for nearly 20 years. However, it was the pandemic that gave HyFlex its widespread acceptance and application. Literature suggests that HyFlex may now be considered part of the new norm in education and therefore, further study is needed on how it affects…
