SUMMARY:Are students’ perceptions of teaching and learning always valid? 
  - Louis Deslauriers (Harvard)
DESCRIPTION:Are students’ perceptions of teaching and learning always val
 id? What are the most productive active learning techniques and how do we 
 insure students engage with them?
\nResearch shows students learn more whe
 n they are actively engaged in the classroom than they do in a passive lec
 ture environment. Active teaching strategies have also been shown to incre
 ase lecture attendance\, engagement\, and students’ acquisition of exper
 t attitudes toward the discipline. Despite this overwhelming evidence\, mo
 st instructors still use traditional methods\, at least in large-enrollmen
 t college courses. 
\nWhy do these inferior methods of instruction persis
 t? We identify significant obstacles that can hinder the wide adoption of 
 active learning methods. We compared students’ self-reported perception 
 of learning with their actual learning in large-enrollment introductory co
 llege physics courses taught using (i) active instruction (following best 
 practices in the discipline)\, and (ii) passive instruction (lecture). Stu
 dents in active classrooms learned more\, but their perception of learning
 \, was lower than that of their peers in passive environments. In addition
 \, students in passive lectures reported higher satisfaction and a greater
  desire to have “all of their physics classes taught this way.” These 
 misperceptions may reduce students’ motivation to participate in active 
 learning and may discourage faculty from adopting research-based active te
 aching strategies. These results suggest that attempts to evaluate instruc
 tion based on students’ perceptions of learning could inadvertently prom
 ote inferior (passive) pedagogical methods. I will discuss various ways in
 structors can mitigate student’s misperceptions of learning in the class
 room. 
\nA great deal of efforts has been spent optimizing various active
  learning techniques practiced by students inside and outside the classroo
 m—I will provide a detailed description of the types of active learning 
 currently being used in small and large enrollment science courses at Harv
 ard University.
