greater percent gains on the concept inventory than either Section B or D. The 0.089points loss appears to be offset by the 0.12 points gain seen in students of an instructor withtraining in active-learning pedagogies.Student intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy is known to improve student engagement andperformance.12 Professors 1 and 4 began their quarters with discussions on best practices forstudent success, explained why the course was using active learning techniques, and learnedstudent names by the second week. Professors 2 and 3 report not learning names or explainingthe purpose of the active learning modules. Professor 3 did tell the students he was usingmaterial developed by other faculty without providing a full explanation of the
