Analysis of active learning in management engineering: a study at EDEM Business School

The educational paradigm is evolving towards competency-based learning rather than standardized testing. In this setting, Active Learning is to boost, among others, student engagement, critical thinking skills, and application of knowledge into real-world issues. This paper examines the overall perf...

This paper examines the overall performance of sophomore students in a new engineering and management bachelor's degree at a university in Valencia, Spain.

The study is carried out via simple and multiple linear regression models.
