Abstract

The results of numerous studies suggest that by using active learning strategies educators can improve student learning outcomes. We asked 536 nurse educators teaching in prelicensure programs to estimate the extent that they integrate active learning strategies into their courses. There were no relationships identified between the estimated extent of active learning use and program National Council Licensure Examination pass rates.
