Surveying SCALE-UP students ten years into implementation

Miami University was able to start teaching introductory physics with SCALE-UP pedagogy when we moved to a new building in 2014. At the time, we gave the students many surveys, including the expectancy violation survey (Gaffney, Gaffney, and Beichner, PRPER 6, 2010). This survey asks one series of questions about how often students expect / experience several things in class including working with others, discussing their work with peers and instructors, and even how the room will be shaped. There is also a series of questions addressing how students feel about the way the classroom is set up, ranging from “Courses in other departments should use this classroom environment” to “This classroom environment is inappropriate for college physics.” Now that it has been ten years, we gave this survey again during the 2024-2025 school year to compare the results.
