aLearning gains increase with increased use of active learning. Normalized score change on CA1 and CA2 by the amount of class time dedicated to active learning (active-learning time percent). p Value shown for comparison with the reform section with the highest percentage of active learning (CA1: one-way ANOVA, F(4, 476) = 6.9, p < 0.0001, Scheffé post hoc; CA2: one-way ANOVA, F(4, 476) = 0.15, p = 0.962), with significant differences (p < 0.05) shown in bold.
