"Assessment of Active Learning" published on by Oxford University Press.

ABSTRACTWe report the results of a study to examine the effectiveness of active versus passive learning methods in the accounting information systems area. Two groups of students completed an assignment under two active learning conditions (individual and cooperative), while a third group covered the same topic in a passive lecture. Our findings indicate support for active learning, measured through student performance on exam questions and student feedback on a questionnaire. However, compared to passive learners, we find significantly improved exam performance only for students who work individually in an active environment. Students in the cooperative active environment posted exam scores that were not statistically different from passive participants' scores. Students in both individual and cooperative active environments reported positive feedback on satisfaction, perceived learning, and effectiveness of the method. We conclude that active learning enhances student outcomes, particularly for those who work individually.Data Availability: Data are available upon request.

We examine methods for improving models for automatically labeling social media data. In particular we evaluate active learning: a method for selecting candidate training data whose labeling the classification model would benefit most of. We show that this approach requires careful ex-periment design, when it is combined with language modeling
