" Suboptimal student performance in lab-based statistics classes prompted a change in pedagogy to increase student engagement in class through active learning. Rather than using clickers, students learned how to use Google Forms in class to answer questions alone or in small working groups. In-class discussion of the answers focuses on clearing up misconceptions and steering students to a higher level of understanding. The increased interactivity, although it reduced class time to cover the material, yielded longer periods of sustained attention and a perception of improved performance among students."

" Recently, an instructional technique known as K-W-L, created by Ogle (1986) was introduced into classrooms. Teachers activate students' prior knowledge by asking them what they already Know; then students (collaborating as a classroom unit or within small groups) set goals specifying what they Want to learn; and after reading students discuss what they have Learned. Students apply higher-order thinking strategies which help them construct meaning from what they read and help them monitor their progress toward their goals. A worksheet is given to every student that includes columns for each of these activities. "
