Research Assistant Nguyen Nancy Vo wins Psi Chi Regional Research Award at 2022 Western Psychological Association Conference

Nancy Vo (Psychology '22) presented her departmental honors project, "Individual versus Collaborative Active Learning: Impact on Actual Learning, Perceived Learning, and Motivation," at the Psi Chi poster session during the 2022 Western Psychological Association conference. Vo won Psi Chi's Regional Research Award for her project, which had three main findings:

• The collaborative group had a slight increase in motivation and judgment of value of class time while the individual group had a slight decrease.
• Subjective knowledge increased for both groups when comparing pre to post.
• Although the collaborative group had a higher judgement of learning, their actual learning performance was relatively comparable to the individual group.

Congratulations Nancy!
