exercises. Each student was asked to follow a defined protocol of contacting the faculty member to ask for cooperation in this exercise, distributing the publication, and arranging for a 30-45 minute interview time. Students interviewed their assigned faculty member using a set of prepared questions for guidance. Students were instructed to ask that they be able to take notes in order to complete the class assignment. The student informed the faculty member that a summary of the interviews may be shared with the class. The question set and suggested interview format is provided in Appendix B. The students were asked to complete a post-interview summary form which is provided in Appendix C. These summary forms were summarized for discussion during a

Among these barriers, one area most in need of additionalresearch is that concerning student resistance. Although student resistance can be a significantdiscouragement to faculty attempting new teaching practices, it is a natural response to newteaching methods not typically used in the classroom. Weimer20 states that student resistance toactive learning methods is often a result of the additional effort needed on behalf of the student,causing anxiety about their ability to succeed within this new classroom environment.

, asstudents had to initiate and accomplish a project by themselves, where teachers played amentoring role. However, not all choices mattered in the same way for students. The mostimportant choices that students felt that increased their perceived autonomy were:a) Autonomy over the choice of topic for the assignment and the project, “You have the freedom to work on whatever interest you and that is really motivating” “I thought you had enough freedom to choose which way you would approach the problem, free enough to come up with solutions to the problem”b) Autonomy over organizing teamwork and distribution of workload (e.g. defining their owntiming and deadlines). “…I like the way it's set up, cause it fits exactly with what
exercises, b) sessions oflight physical activity, or c) no breaks at all. Students who performed active learning exerciseshad a higher probability of answering exercise-related questions correctly, compared to the othertwo groups. However, students who performed active learning exercises did not exhibit betterrecall of information presented immediately after such breaks. Students who performed physicalactivity showed no difference in recall of information presented immediately after those breaks,compared to the recall of students who took no breaks. Our data suggest that learning value, notsimple activity/wakefulness, is the critical element of active learning.Introduction“Active learning” is a term used to refer to situations in which an
