This study examined student experiences of using classroom response systems (CRS; i.e., clickers) in graduate-level psychology courses. A total of 98 students participated in a repeated measures design. Overall, student attitudes toward using clickers were positive at both measurement time points. Participants reported that clickers helped check comprehension of lectures, increased enjoyment of lectures, helped apply concepts to practical examples, and made the class more engaging. Ratings were less positive for exam preparation and prompting discussions with classmates. This study demonstrates potential applications of CRS in small graduate psychology classrooms and supports previous research indicating that CRS can improve learning by increasing interactivity and higher order processing of information.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
