With the exception of a single outlier in theactive learning classroom tested using common question Q1, the active classroom data (bluebars) spans a narrower range of overall scores than the lecture-based class data (red bars), with amore pronounced right skew.One goal of the active learning model developed for MASC 310 was to use group work andhands-on activities to bring students from a range of grade levels and backgrounds to a commonunderstanding.

Helping STEM majors to improve their mental ability through reminders may be way to advance calculus sub-conceptual knowledge. More research findings that align with this research are needed to support and help educators better understand STEM majors’ conceptual integral knowledge. The methodology introduced in this work can be applied to other calculus questions other than the integral concept. References1. Tokgöz, E. “Evaluation of Engineering & Mathematics Majors
