5 Minute Peer Writing Activity Study

This study, led by Dr. Andrew Richards and assisted by Zachary Hall, examines a new active learning instrument, the 5 Minute Peer Writing Activity (5MPWA). The study endeavors to provide an in-depth analysis of the reception of this novel classroom assessment technique by comparing it to the well-established Minute Paper from the perspectives of both students and instructors. For students, we aim to evaluate the reception of the 5MPWA by measuring its impact on academic performance, levels of engagement, and overall satisfaction. Instructors' perspectives are equally integral to this study. We will gauge their reception of the 5MPWA based on their engagement with the technique, satisfaction with its application, and their likelihood of adopting the 5MPWA in their own teaching practices. This aspect of the research will provide valuable information on the potential for wider implementation of this active learning strategy within the educational community.
