[AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE BASED ON CLICKERS]
Active learning strategies, like paper-based multiple-choice questions, significantly boost student engagement and academic performance. Attending more sessions correlated with higher scores on distance learning assessments.
Area of Science:
- Educational Psychology
- Higher Education Pedagogy
- Nursing Education
Context:
- Intervention designed for second-year Adult Nursing students at the University of Malaga.
- Utilized paper-based multiple-choice questions simulating clicker technology.
- Focused on the 'distance learning' subject without traditional master classes.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the relationship between session attendance and student performance.
- To assess the impact of active learning on understanding distance learning concepts.
- To determine if increased participation correlates with improved academic outcomes.
Summary:
- Three non-instructional sessions involving paper-based multiple-choice questions were conducted.
- Student answers were collected manually to gauge comprehension.
- Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference in correct answers based on session attendance.
Impact:
- Students attending all three sessions demonstrated significantly better results than those attending none.
- Highlights the effectiveness of low-tech active learning methods in enhancing student commitment and performance.
- Provides a model for improving engagement in nursing education through participatory assessment.

Cognitive Learning
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
