Instructor Perception of Incorporating Active Learning in College of Agriculture Classrooms

Significant numbers of studies declare the effectiveness of “active learning” and numerous 
universities develop programs to support the incorporation of active learning methods, yet 
despite various incentives, adoption is met with resistance. This work shares the results of a 
study of instructor perceptions about active learning at a large research university in the 
United States. Instructor motivation, perceptions of competence and autonomy (related to 
colleagues and administrators), experience in training programs, as well as actual practices 
were explored with regard to active learning.
