- Abstract
The article evaluates the use of audience response systems (ARS) or clickers in classroom instructions. ARS are handheld devices as small as calculators which can be used in class participation, perform instructor or course evaluation, and record attendance. In previous studies, the use of ARS was associated to the increase in student attendance and improves class interaction and grades of some students. However, there were problems regarding the length of time to set up and learn the ARS system, the cost, and limitations on questions integrated to the device. It suggests purchasing the recent version of ARS system and download software to develop questions in advance time. It concludes that further study is needed to evaluate if the ARS can improve student learning.
