  • Interactive teaching methods significantly improved attendance and doubled both engagement and learning in a large physics class,
  • students in the interactive class were nearly twice as engaged as their counterparts in the traditional class
  • scored nearly twice as well in a test designed to determine their grasp of complex physics concepts (average score 74 per cent vs. 41 per cent, with random guessing producing a score of 23 per cent). Attendance in the interactive class also increased by 20 per cent during the experiment.
