Why do students resist active learning? Over the past academic year, a Faculty Learning Community (FLC) of 10 instructors at the University of Alberta's North and Augustana campuses regularly met at the Centre for Teaching and Learning to explore this question. In this FoTL Plenary, members of this FLC, who come from diverse fields and varying years of teaching experience, describe their process and findings in terms of: how students resist, how resistance to active learning can be overcome, why resilience for active learning should be fostered in our students, and how resistance and resilience manifest within the university beyond the classroom.
