Abstract

According to Meyers and Jones, active learning theory originated from two fundamental premises: learning engagement and learning styles (1993). When students are actively engaged in the learning process, they learn better. What can an instructor do to achieve this goal? This chapter will discuss one of the approaches – the integration of the Classroom Performance System (CPS), and will cover three aspects: 1) incorporating CPS based on active learning theory, 2) discussing student positive feedback on CPS use experiences, and 3) sharing CPS best practice with other educators to promote active learning from teaching, design and administration perspectives.
