摘要：Colleges and universities are beginning to invest in active learning (AL) classrooms in an effort toreplace the traditional lecture style pedagogy that is frequently used by many professors in highereducation (Eagan et al., 2014). This is a quantitative research study conducted at a medium-sizedMidwestern university. Students were given the Community of Inquiry (CoI) Survey in threedifferent classes. The research study compared students’ perceptions of Teaching Presence (TP),Social Presence (SP), and Cognitive Presence (CP) differences from classes first taught in atraditional auditorium lecture-style format, then taught in an AL classroom. This study shows that itis not the physical structure of AL classrooms that had an impact on students’ levels of TP, SP, andCP, but the instructional design of these classes that had an impact in these areas. The study alsoshows that when implementing AL classrooms, instructors need to make intentional design decisionsto keep the levels of TP at high levels.
