Exercise 39

Active learning. A teacher wanting to increase the active learning component of her course is concerned about student reactions to changes she is planning to make. She conducts a survey in her class, asking students whether they believe more active learning in the classroom (hands on exercises) instead of traditional lecture will helps improve their learning. She does this at the beginning and end of the semester and wants to evaluate whether students’ opinions have changed over the semester. Can she used the methods we learned in this chapter for this analysis? Explain your reasoning.
