Subclaims¶

q2 i? Averaged ratings from 17 students eight weeks after the September 2019 session showed strong agreement that the activities were memorable (M = 1.23, SD = 0.43), helped learning more than lecture alone (M = 1.88, SD = 1.22), and would be recommended (M = 1.59, SD = 1.71) on a 1 (completely agree) to 5 scale. → B.

q2 · i? · design · r2

An online feedback survey of 17 students eight weeks after the September 2019 session at the University of the West of Scotland; ratings from 1 (completely agree) to 5, with the printed means and SDs reported descriptively.

"A total of 17 students provided feedback, rating statements from 1 (completely agree) to 5 (completely disagree). According to the averaged student ratings, they highly agreed that the activities were memorable ( M = 1.23, SD = 0.43)"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Embodied Nerf-gun activities increased students' self-reported understanding of, and ability to explain, key neural communication concepts in a pre-post seminar design — a broader claim this one bears on
• Students in the active-learning flipped course reported strongly positive attitudes, and course retention was higher than in the control group — related
