Identifying the factors that affect the effectiveness of active learning methods of 16DDS students

Abstract

A survey questionnaire was used to explore factors affecting active learning methods, including 3 factors: Student factors (knowledge, skills and attitude) are measured by 19 observed variables, denoted NH1 to NH19; Teacher factors (teacher's knowledge, teaching methods, communication skills, inspiration, classroom management skills) are measured by 11 observed variables, signed ND1 to ND11; Facilities factors (resources; assistive devices, classroom layout) are measured by 10 observed variables, denoted CSVC1 to CSVC10. The topic generated 470 questionnaires, collected 385 valid votes, which met the sample size requirements according to the Cochran formula (1977). Data were processed by SPSS. After running Cronbach's Alpha tests and analyzing EFA factors to eliminate variables, we got the following results: Student Factor has 13 variables left, while Teacher Factor has 6 variables left, and Facilities Factor has 7 variables. The levels of influence of factors on students' active learning outcomes in descending order are Teacher (Beta = 0.441); Student (Beta = 0.41) and Facilities (Beta = 0.22). Among Teachers factors, the skill of conveying the lesson content clearly and easily to understand of the teacher has the most influence (mean = 4.14).
