Active learning strategies in video learning: A meta-analysis

The COVID-19 pandemic created a paradigm shift in the way educators employ active learning strategies. In this chapter, the authors discuss how engaging and innovative learning strategies were developed to teach baccalaureate-level nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The initial focus is on the teaching and learning strategies created for first-semester students who are developing foundational nursing skills and concepts. The discussion transitions to complex strategies developed for fourth-semester students, solidifying critical thinking and clinical judgment skills. Highlighted are active learning strategies used in the classroom, skills lab, and simulated clinical environment. These promote clinical judgment and present practical direction for adapting technology to provide an engaging learning environment. Throughout the chapter, the authors use several strategies to showcase how a nursing program responded to COVID-19 restrictions, including active learning and technology strategies, and how they can be applied across a curriculum using varying levels of technology.

The world is changing so fast, and therefore education needs to adapt to the challenges of times. In order to update the content of school education in the Republic of Kazakhstan modern trends are going to be used. These trends contain pedagogical methods that can be used to preserve and even increase internal motivation, as active learning. Active learning method is an treatment where students participate or interact with the learning process, as opposed to passively taking in the information.The goal of this study is to identify the impact of active learning method on 10th grade students’ attitude towards mathematics of the students the second semester of the school year 2019-2020. More specifically, it attempted to determine and compare the attitude toward mathematics of students’ exposure to active learning and traditional teaching strategy. The Likert scale used to evaluate the attitude of students toward mathematics. Mean, Cronbach value, T-test were the statistical tools used in anatomizing and interpreting the research data. The discovering showed that the students in the active learning group had auspicious attitude than students in the conventional teaching group. According to the findings after research, we saw the direct relation between attitude and active learning. It is concluded that the students’ attitude toward mathematics was better by using active learning strategy. It is recommended that mathematics teacher should use active learning strategy in order to improve the attitude toward mathematics of the students.Keywords: attitude, mathematics, active learning

This study aims to analyze the differences in learning motivation between students who study using active learning strategies and learning strategies. This type of research is a quasi-experimental (quasi-experimental) with a non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group design. The study population was all fifth graders at State Elementary School 2021/2022, totaling 162 people. The class sample was taken by random sampling technique. The sample consisted of 2 classes, namely Class V SDN 1 Banjar Tengah as many as 22 students who studied with active learning strategies and class V SDN 2 Banjar Tengah 22 students who studied with conventional learning strategies. The data collected in this study was data on students' mathematics learning motivation, which was obtained by using the mathematics learning motivation test, which had a reliability of 0.93. Mathematics learning motivation data were analyzed by descriptive analysis and one-way ANOVA. Hypothesis testing was carried out at a significance level of 5%. The results showed that there were differences in the motivation to learn mathematics between students who studied with active learning strategies and conventional learning strategies (F = 79.93; p <0.05). The results of the LSD test showed that students' motivation to learn mathematics using active learning strategies was higher than conventional learning strategies (LSD = 0.09) ; =0.42).

Although the relationship between student motivation, self-perception, and achievement in science education is well established, there is still a lack of focused studies on these aspects at the lower secondary level, particularly in private school settings where student demographics and learning environments may pose unique challenges. The purpose of this study is to: (1) assess lower secondary students' motivation and self-concept in scientific learning; and (2), using correlational analysis and qualitative feedback, determine ways to improve these aspects. Using a quantitative descriptive survey design, this study assessed 60 grade 7-9 students from a private lower secondary school. The Students’ Motivation Toward Science Learning (SMTSL) and adapted Chemistry Self-Concept Inventory (CSCI) measured motivation and self-concept, respectively. Data analysis included mean scores for both variables and Spearman’s rank correlation (accounting for Liker-scale ordinality and non-normal distributions). A moderate-high level of motivation (Active learning strategies [ALS]=4.0-4.1 highest, Performance Goal [PG]=2.8-3.1 lowest) and self-concept (Positive Perception of Science Self Concept [PSSC]=3.8-3.9 highest, Mathematic Self-Concept [MSC]=2.9-3.2 lowest) with moderate positive correlation (r = 0.572, p < 0.001) underscores that self-concept and motivation are interrelated, suggests interventions should simultaneously promote active learning (to enhance ALS) while addressing mathematical confidence (to improve MSC). These findings suggest that teachers can boost engagement through active learning and confidence-building strategies, while school and policymakers should design targete interventions to support students with low scientific confidence and high performance pressure.

This study aimed at identifying the impact of using some active learning (AL)strategies in a Curricula and Teaching Methods Course on the learning motivation level and the development of Critical Thinking Skills among the Faculty of Arts at Al-Zaytoonah University (ZUJ) students. The study subjects were (61) male and female students selected from the Curricula and Teaching Methods Course of the Faculty of Arts at ZUJ. The study adopted the quasi-experimental approach. To answer the two questions of the study, the Learning Motivation Scale consisting of (35) paragraphs, and the Critical Thinking Skills Test consisting of (34) paragraphs were constructed. The study results revealed that there are significant differences between the means of the scores of the students of the Curricula and Teaching Methods course between the experimental group and the control group on the Learning Motivation Scale and the Critical Thinking Skills Test that can be attributed to using AL strategies. Therefore, the researcher recommended the use of learning outcomes related to learning motivation and critical thinking skills.

ABSTRACT: The COVID-19 pandemic and the recent technological advancements have given rise to the use of active, interactive, and innovative learning strategies in Higher Education in India that help in promoting collaborative learning. The aim of introducing flipped classroom strategy using some active learning strategies is to evaluate its effectiveness in use and academic performance, develop managerial, problem solving, creativity, and innovative skills in students, the need of the hour in the present situation where 80% of the engineering graduates are unemployable (aspiring minds report, 2019) and to arouse interest in the management courses which are given little emphasis by engineering students in their undergraduate program and which is affecting their placement because of the backlogs in Management courses. This strategy is used for the Management Science course, which is a common paper for all the engineering branches of III/IV B.Tech students. The results showed that the students were highly engaged in learning; interest was aroused in the subject, and there was drastic progress in academic performance, as well as improved problem-solving, creativity, managerial, and innovative skills.

The study focused on the effects of active learning strategies on the performance of Thai students in Mathematics at Plookpanya Learning School serves as a foundation of the intervention plan during the academic year 2024-2025. The primary respondents were the junior high school students enrolled at Plookpanya Learning School. However, this study was confined to a certain population type and area; data shall only be collected from students in Plookpanya Learning School in Thailand; this was a major limitation in terms of generalizing the study findings in other learning settings or other zones of the globe. The findings revealed that active learning strategies are consistently utilized by teachers in teaching mathematics to Thai students in terms of student engagement, use of collaborative learning techniques, implementation of technology, diversity of teaching methods, and feedback and reflection opportunities. Also, there is a high increase in the performance of Thai students after utilizing active learning strategies. Then, Thai students' performance in science classes is correlated with their use of brain-based learning strategies. Active learning strategies used by teachers in teaching mathematics, such as student engagement, use of collaborative learning techniques, implementation of technology, diversity of teaching methods, and feedback and reflection opportunities, are correlated to the performance of Thai students. Moreso, the use of active learning strategies in teaching mathematics significantly contributed to enhancing student engagement and performance among Thai students. As an outcome of the findings and the conclusions, the following recommendations were enumerated: Teachers may incorporate educational technology tools, such as interactive math software, online simulations, and educational games, to create an engaging learning environment that can provide instant feedback and adaptive learning experiences; Teachers may assign students videos or reading materials to study at home and use class time for hands-on activities and discussions; Teachers may encourage group work and collaborative projects where students solve mathematical problems together; Students may actively engage in the learning process by asking questions, seeking help when needed, and being open to feedback; School administrators may organize workshops and training sessions for teachers focused on active learning strategies and the effective use of technology in the mathematics classroom; and School administrators may encourage open communication between teachers, students, and parents to promote engagement and support for active learning initiatives.

The objectives of the research were (1) to find out the dominant learning strategy that students employ in using YouTube videos for self-regulated learning and (2) to describe students' learning strategies activity in using YouTube videos for self-regulated learning by tenth-grade students of SMAN 1 Sintang. The data in this research was collected through the instrument of the SILL Questionnaire by Rebeca Oxford which adapted and modified with the context of using YouTube videos for self-regulated learning. The total population of this research was 110 students. The researcher used purposive sampling to select 66 students who were suitable for the characteristics of this study. The research findings revealed that most students used the compensation strategy (19.72%), and the less dominant use strategy was the social strategy (11.66%) in using YouTube videos for self-regulated learning. Specifically, students are greatly helped in using YouTube videos for self-regulated learning by the subtitle feature, and students can also pause the videos to enhance their understanding in finding new vocabulary and phrases, as well as knowing the language structure in the learning videos.

This study aimed at investigating the effect of implementing active learning strategies in enhancing EFL learners' motivation, attitudes, aptitudes and skills. To achieve the objective of this study, the researchers attempted to answer these questions: 1- What do the students in the English classroom need to learn? 2- Will the active learning strategies help students promoting their language skills? 3- Will the designed activities help maximizing students' participation and interaction in the classroom? 4- To what extent do active learning strategies affect English learners' performance in the English language? The researchers used the quasi- experimental approach. Two instruments were employed for data collection: a questionnaire besides a pre and post- test. (30) female English majors' students of Arts Faculty-Shamli Branch -University of Hail, served as subjects for the study. The participants were distributed into two groups. The first group represented the control group of (15) students; while the second one represented the experimental one of (15) students. The active learning strategies were implemented in teaching the experimental group, and the traditional teaching method was utilized with the control group. A combination tests out of (25) questions, covered all skills (Reading, listening, writing and speaking.) was designed to be used as a pre and post- test. The data analysis of the post-test results showed that there were statistically significant differences between mean results of the experimental and the control group favoring the experimental group; Thus, the experimental group outperformed the control group. Consequently, the use of the active learning strategies proved to have a positive role and effect on EFL Learners' Motivation, Attitudes, Aptitudes and Skills. In their responses to the questionnaires, they reported a very good and positive attitude towards learning English language through using active learning strategies.

It also aims to know the degree of principles and the theoretical knowledge, and aimed to identify the obstacles to applying modern strategies. To achieve the objectives of the study the descriptive approach was used. The study sample consisted of (53) student from the primary classes division. The study used a questionnaire as a tool to data collection, it consist of (33) paragraphs, which were applied during the second semester of the year (2019). The results showed that the knowledge of the principles and theoretical foundations of the learning strategies as a whole obtained an average of (3.91) with a high score, followed by the active learning strategies as a whole of (3.80) at (intermediate) level, Active learning strategies obstacles averaged (3.19) at (intermediate) level, no significant differences due to age variable and academic rate. The researcher introduce many recommendations, the most significant is: Preparing theoretical and practical training program to use most of the active learning strategies during field training, in order to sharp their skills in the active learning methods. The researcher proposes to start study about proposed field training program to develop student skills in planning, executing and evaluating lessons.

Aim/Purpose: Two popular methods for encouraging active learning are Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Field Trips (VFTs). This exploratory case study examines college students’ perceptions of a prototype AR and VFT app as an active learning strategy. Background: AR allows students to learn as they physically explore a destination, while VFTs give students the opportunity to visit exciting destinations without leaving their homes. AR and VFTs promote active learning, which has been shown to increase college student success in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) courses. The aim of the VFT app in this study is to provide college students in a STEM course with an interactive lesson on modeling information systems using diagrams. Methodology: This exploratory case study is intended to serve as a condensed case study performed with the prototype version of a VFT app before implementing a large-scale investigation of students’ perceptions of a more refined version of the app. The study employed a qualitative approach involving a survey with open-ended questions to gather college students’ perceptions of learning with a VFT. The data were analyzed using inductive coding. The participants are students at a mid-sized, urban, public university. Contribution: This exploratory case study serves as a proof-of-concept and starting point for other faculty who may be interested in developing their own AR and VFT apps to engage students in active learning. Releasing the app to a common Open Educational Resources (OER) repository will give other faculty easy access to re-use the app and build upon it to create their own virtual field trips. OER are learning materials that are freely available for students and faculty to download and use in their coursework. Findings: Students overwhelmingly perceived the VFT app helped them learn about the subject that was presented, citing the visual nature of the app, the real-life scenarios presented in the app, and the app’s ease of use as reasons why. The majority (over 89%) also agreed that the app motivated them to learn more about the subject, mainly due to the app’s real-life scenarios, and over 83% of students cited at least one benefit to learning with the app, such as the navigation/location features, the easy-to-use interface, and the real-world scenarios. Recommendations for Practitioners: The pedagogical implications of this study are that faculty should adopt VFTs as an active learning strategy, particularly in STEM college courses, based on the students’ positive perceptions of learning, motivation, and benefits of VFTs. Recommendations for Researchers: Researchers can expand on this exploratory case study by conducting a larger-scale study of the VFT app employed in the case study, or by developing their own VFT app based on the one in this study, to capture a broader group of students’ perceptions of VFTs as an active learning strategy. Impact on Society: The broad impact of this research on society is encouraging the adoption of VFTs as an active learning strategy since active learning strategies are shown to increase college students’ success and engagement. Future Research: Future research will be conducted in subsequent terms to gather additional data on students’ perceptions of the VFT app, as well as their perceptions of the relationship between learning and the VFT technology. Further research is also needed to survey faculty on their perceptions of how engaging with the app impacts student learning, particularly in regards to the VFT technology within the app.

Active learning is a learning method that encourages student activity in the learning process. Active learning strategies are steps designed to involve students directly in the teaching and learning process so that they can understand and remember the material better.This research aims to identify active learning strategies that are effective in increasing student understanding. By reviewing literature and related research, we identified several active learning strategies that can be used in learning, such as group discussions, simulations, role plays, and problem-based projects. The research results show that these active learning strategies are effective in improving students' understanding because they allow students to be actively involved in the learning process. Apart from that, this strategy can also increase student motivation and promote collaboration between students.Thus, teachers and educators can consider using these active learning strategies in their lessons to improve student understanding. In the future, further research can be conducted to identify other active learning strategies that can increase learning effectiveness.

Existing meta-analyses have shown that active learning strategies are effective in improving students’ learning performance. However, their implementation may vary across school levels. This study investigated differences among elementary, middle, and high school teachers in the use of teaching strategies, including those that promote active learning and pedagogical beliefs. We also explored differences in the relationships between beliefs about teaching and learning, teaching experience, and teaching strategies for active learning across school levels. An online survey was conducted with 550 in-service elementary, middle, and high school teachers. Participants completed a questionnaire that measured their teaching strategies, beliefs about teaching and learning, and teaching experience. The results revealed differences in the frequency of use of six teaching strategies, including those that promoted active learning. Elementary school teachers used teaching strategies that promoted active learning most frequently, followed by middle and high school teachers. There were no differences in teachers’ beliefs about teaching and learning across school levels. Multigroup structural equation modeling indicated no differences in the influence of beliefs about teaching and learning on active learning teaching strategies among school levels, except that the traditional conception was negatively associated with the implementation of active learning in middle school. Constructivist beliefs were positively associated with active learning strategies across all levels, whereas teaching experience was negatively associated with teaching strategies that promoted student output at the higher school level. These findings have implications for the implementation of active learning, particularly at higher school levels.

Video in education has become pervasive. Globally, educators are recording instructional videos to augment their students’ learning and, in many contexts, replace face-to-face lectures. However, the mere act of watching a video is primarily a passive learning experience likely leading to lack of student engagement hindering learning. Active learning strategies such as video annotations and in-video questions have the potential to shift the passive experience of watching an instructional video to a more active one by engaging students with learning strategies designed to promote self-regulated learning and improve content knowledge. This experimental study investigates the impact of in-video questions compared to video annotations on learning and self-efficacy in an experimental setting. Findings revealed that learners who annotated videos had higher self-efficacy than those who completed in-video questions likely due to the immediate feedback received from the in-video questions. The study further concluded that prior knowledge plays a critical role in selecting appropriate active learning strategies, suggesting that video annotations be considered when students have prior knowledge about a topic whereas in-video questions with immediate feedback be interspersed in videos when students do not have prior knowledge about a topic.
