Student response systems and learner engagement in large classes

---

The use of student response systems is becoming more prevalent in higher level education. Evidence on the
effectiveness of this technology can be an important resource for tutors seeking to engage with learners
and raise the quality of learning experiences. Student response systems have been found to increase student
engagement and participation in the classroom, yet few studies examine why this is so. This research seeks to
explore the effects of student response systems on student participation in large classes. The methods used
included both quantitative and qualitative data. A pre-test/mid-test/post-test design (quantitative approach)
was deployed to examine the effects of a classroom response system on interactivity. Students involved in a
final year undergraduate business course took part in investigating the use of student response systems from
the student perspective. Qualitative data were collected to identify the strengths and weaknesses of using
a classroom response system to enhance classroom interaction through semi-structured interviews. This
research builds on previous studies by investigating why students become more participatory, interactive and
engaged during learning sessions which utilise student response systems. Implications for teaching practice
are discussed, and avenues for future research on student response systems and student engagement in large
class scenarios are outlined.

Keywords: classroom interactivity, clickers, student engagement, student response system
