Abstract: This exploratory study investigates the influence of active learning pedagogies implemented within Active Learning Classrooms (ALCs) on student perceptions of the learning experience in undergraduate PreCalculus. We examine student perceptions of engagement, collaboration, and the perceived effectiveness of active learning for deeper understanding. Survey data from 93 first-semester students at a large public university reveal positive student perceptions of deep learning, increased interest in the course over the term, and favorable attitudes toward the ALC environment. Correlation analysis indicates significant associations between these aspects of the ALC experience, emphasizing the role of affective engagement in academic success. The study also explores interpersonal dynamics, revealing the perceived efficacy of collaborative study practices and student social interactions. Qualitative analysis yielded positive feedback on the classroom environment, technology integration, and the instructor's teaching style. These findings suggest that active learning pedagogies implemented within ALCs can enhance student perceptions of the learning environment and its contribution to deeper learning outcomes in undergraduate mathematics education.
