In the past few decades, educators and physics education researchers have been developing and evaluating instructional approaches designed to improve students' conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills in physics for students with different prior preparation and backgrounds. These instructional approaches often require students to be active participants in their learning, and are often developed through research, which provides evidence for their effectiveness. Hence, we refer to them as "Evidence-Based Active Engagement" (EBAE) strategies.
