You Can Lead Students to Water, but You Can't Make Them Think: An Assessment of Student Engagement and Learning through Student-Centered Teaching
Bradford, Jennifer; Mowder, Denise; Bohte, Joy
Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, v16 n4 p33-43 Aug 2016
The current project conducted an assessment of specific, directed use of student-centered teaching techniques in a criminal justice and criminology research methods and statistics class. The project sought to ascertain to what extent these techniques improved or impacted student learning and engagement in this traditionally difficult course. Overall, the results indicate a modest but notable increase in student engagement and subsequent learning. Results provide empirical evidence that students were significantly engaged with the course and therefore benefited from these pedagogical techniques.
