概要 There is an increasing amount of research to show that when students learn actively they not only understand material more deeply, but they are also more likely to enjoy the lesson. For these reasons active learning has been encouraged at schools and universities in recent years. While it can be relatively easy to introduce active learning in small classes, it can be challenging in large lecture classes to not only incorporate active learning, but also to maintain classroom management. This paper will describe an action research project conducted over three years into a number of ways in which active learning was incorporated in a comparative culture class of over eighty students at a Japanese university. The activities involved small groupwork, group presentations and whole class activities. Action research was based on the teacher’s observations and reflective journal, each stage of reflection informed the cycles of intervention.
