Active Learning: Who Benefits?

from The Teaching Lab Hosted by Angela Bauer

What does active learning look like in the laboratory? And which students benefit most? In this episode of the Teaching Lab, Drs. Chris Beck (Emory University) and Larry Blumer (Morehouse College) share their findings regarding the impact of guided inquiry on the scientific reasoning and experimental design skills of their least prepared students.
