Discovery-Based Approach Combined with Active Learning to Improve Student Learning Experiences for STEM Students

A survey is administered to understand the application of active learning in undergraduate STEM courses. The findings observed over an academic year reflect current trends use learning. combination discovery-based and Pro-Con Grids then used improve long-term retention among students. Students a course were provided with lecture prior in-class sessions. quiz was for each gain insight into students’ understanding evaluate effectiveness method. To measure proposed two categories metrics are used: learners' outcomes (grades) (process measure) 64 participants. responses from students show that convinced find information rather than memorizing repeating concepts facilitate effective group work. In addition, grade comparisons three semesters indicate higher discovery during grades found be.
