TLDR
Formal analysis of student performances on multiple-choice exam questions showed that the SLEs did not significantly impair learning evaluated by this traditional means.Abstract:
During the past three academic years, "self-learning exercises" (SLEs) have been incorporated into the Medical Physiology course for first-year students at the Morehouse School of Medicine. Roughly 20-30% of the material covered in the course is presented to the students in the form of these exercises, instead of in lectures. The exercises are intended to help the students develop skills in active learning and problem solving. Formal analysis of student performances on multiple-choice exam questions showed that the SLEs did not significantly impair learning evaluated by this traditional means. Student feedback was strongly negative the first year and prompted a number of revisions in the format of the SLEs, which seem to have made them more palatable, without negating their emphasis on active learning and application of material.read more

The Psychology of Learning
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors attempt to connect the phenomenon of learning, as it is viewed by medical educators, with former and contemporary learning theories, known principles, and research findings from the domain of general psychology.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of active learning on student characteristics in a human physiology course for nonmajors.
TL;DR: Factorial analyses indicated that the treatment groups acquired significantly more content knowledge and were significantly more self-efficacious than students in the control groups, and there were no significant differences in motivation.

Clickers in the Classroom: A Review and a Replication
TL;DR: This paper reviewed 66 clicker technology-based studies focusing on student perceptions/outcomes, including high levels of performance (actual and perceived), student attention span, attendance and participation, as well as student perceptions of satisfaction, feedback, and ease of use.

A comparison of traditional and engaging lecture methods in a large, professional-level course
TL;DR: In engaging lectures, also referred to as broken or interactive lectures, students are given short periods of lecture followed by "breaks" that can consist of 1-min papers, problem sets, brainstorming, etc as discussed by the authors.

Hybrid lecture-online format increases student grades in an undergraduate exercise physiology course at a large urban university
TL;DR: Transition from a traditional lecture format to a hybrid format significantly enhanced student learning; presumably, this increase is due to the fact that students were able to increase their exposure to course content via access to material on WebCT.
