Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-6280-1602 Assessing evaluation: Why student engages or resists to active learning? 2021 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted This research shows, on a wide dataset of students, that evaluation methods to promote active learning improve students’ academic success and performance. On a database of 4622 engineering and design students, we demonstrate that this result holds when correcting the selection bias—more engaged students opt for active learning. The intriguing result is that the percentage of students that opt for active learning decreases along time. The discussion points to the role of faculty as crucial to decrease the resistance of students to active learning. The general methodological approach in this paper may be useful to assess the performance of any change in a subject’s evaluation. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 1.781 2021 EDUCATION, SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINES 31 / 44 = 0.705 2021 Q3 T3 ENGINEERING, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 54 / 92 = 0.587 2021 Q3 T2 EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH 191 / 270 = 0.707 2021 Q3 T3 0.753 2021 Engineering (miscellaneous) 2021 Q1 Education 2021 Q1 4.4 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Gil-Lacruz, A.I.
