Resumen
Instructors of large lecture chemistry courses regularly employ clickers as a means of formative assessment and active learning. Previous studies have suggested that classes employing clickers see higher student engagement; however, none have directly measured engagement with clickers. The recently developed Activity Engagement Survey (AcES) intends to measure students’ behavioral/cognitive, emotional, and social dimensions of engagement at the activity level. This survey was used to assess second-semester general chemistry students’ engagement with clickers. Collecting validity evidence when adapting an instrument to a different setting and/or context is crucial before interpretations can be drawn. Therefore, the primary objective of the present study was to gather validity evidence for the data collected using AcES as it was adapted for clicker questions. The results indicated variations in students’ interpretations of AcES with clicker questions, necessitating development of an alternative measure for engagement with clickers.
