Abstract

The purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of various active learning management methods in a Clinical Chemistry course being taught to 44 third-year Medical Technology students. The various active learning management methods included questioning method; think-pair-share; concept mapping; writing and producing a newsletter; and student-generated exam questions. Student learning outcomes were evaluated by pre-test and post-test, and were then analyzed using paired t-test. The effective achievement of various active learning managements was compared and analyzed by One-Way ANOVA.Our results showed that the effectiveness of all active learning managements had the average score of post-test higher than pre-test at a statistical significance level of 0.05 (p<.001). However, some active learning management methods had no statistically significant differences among the groups (p-value=0.244). Moreover, this research revealed that various active learning management methods improved the effective learning, improved participation in a community-based activities, fostered team responsibility, and created higher order thinking and critical thinking.
