Hi

I been having trouble with list.....sorry if you get multiple copies

I always start with

Hake, R., “Interactive-Engagement vs. Traditional Methods: A
Six-Thousand-Student Survey of Mechanics Test Data for Introductory Physics
Courses,” American Journal of Physics, Vol. 66, No. 1, 1998

http://www.physics.indiana.edu/~sdi/ajpv3i.pdf

The results are rock solid…large study…62 courses/over 6000 students…...the
best lecture course was outperformed by the worst active learning course by
a significant margin
