Factors affecting students’ learning performance through collaborative learning and engagement (2021, background): “Active learning classroom development is a part of the broader educational movement toward students that are involved and engaged in their learning (Brooks, 2011).”
It's not about seat time: Blending, flipping, and efficiency in active learning classrooms (2014, background): “…perceived that the space in active learning classrooms is superior to that in traditional rooms on a host of attributes including engagement, enrichment, confidence, effective use, room/course fit, and flexibility (Brooks, 2011; Walker, Brooks, & Baepler, 2011; Whiteside, Brooks, & Walker, 2010).”
Library Space Assessment: User Learning Behaviors in the Library (2014, background): “Active learning classrooms (ALCs) substantially enhance student learning experiences and outcomes when compared to a traditional classroom design (Brooks, 2010; Whiteside, Brooks, & Walker, 2010).”
Effects of active learning classrooms on student learning: a two-year empirical investigation on student perceptions and academic performance (2017, background): “Some researchers have demonstrated that ALCs support academic performance (Brooks, 2011; Van Horne, Murniati, & Saichaie, 2012), reduce failure rates (Beichner et al.”
