Abstract

Research is abundant in the use of active learning rather than lecture. The effect on engagement on knowledge retention is also abundant. Most of the studies focus on secondary and higher education. Less research has been found on the link between active learning and engagement especially in transition to practice programs (TTP). Guidelines on content delivery in TTP is minimal. In this prospective, cross-sectional, quasi experimental project, the impact of an active learning strategy on learner engagement was studied. The sample was 14 new nurse graduates of mostly female gender of Millennial generation in a local transition to practice program.
