In the era of ubiquitous use of technology, education in all settings is impelled to incorporate technology into classroom settings in order to meet student needs and facilitate student learning. A southeastern academic medical center took the initiative and transformed a traditional classroom (TC) into a technology-advanced active learning classroom (ALC). In this case study, we conducted a mixed-methods cohort study aiming to find out what was taking place in the room and how students and faculty perceived it. To find the answers, we conducted a year-long observation of a dental hygiene professor teaching two consecutive courses. Along with gathering observational notes, we recorded and transcribed 19 sessions. Towards the end of the academic year, we interviewed the professor following a 13-question guide and surveyed students with a 25-question questionnaire. Our multi-perspective data indicated that approximately 63% preferred to take classes in the ALC rather than TCs. They especially enjoyed spaciousness, mobility, unobstructed views, and ease of information sharing and engagement in class. In the meantime, the ALC presented both faculty and students with sensory and technique challenges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
