Social Interaction Learning Strategies, Motivation, First-Year Students' Experiences and Permanence in University Studies
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
García-Ros, Rafael; Pérez-González, Francisco; Cavas-Martínez, Francisco; Tomás, José M. – Educational Psychology, 2018
Applying a structural equations modelling methodology, the study analyses the relationships and effects of self-regulated learning (social interaction learning strategies and motivation) and first-year university experiences on permanence in the sophomore year. The participants are 239 first-year students in different Engineering degrees at a…

Collaborative Argumentation as a Learning Strategy to Improve Student Performance in Engineering Statics: A Pilot Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Foutz, Timothy L. – American Journal of Engineering Education, 2018
Educators have used argumentation to help students understand mathematical ideas which often appear abstract to the novice learner. A preliminary investigation was conducted to determine if collaborative argumentation is a strategy that can improve the student's conceptual understanding of the topics taught in the engineering course commonly…

Self-Control and Academic Performance in Engineering
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Honken, Nora; Ralston, Patricia A.; Tretter, Thomas R. – American Journal of Engineering Education, 2016
Self-control has been related to positive student outcomes including academic performance of college students. Because of the critical nature of the first semester academic performance for engineering students in terms of retention and persistence in pursuing an engineering degree, this study investigated the relationship between freshmen…

Using Technology-Enhanced, Cooperative, Group-Project Learning for Student Comprehension and Academic Performance
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Tlhoaele, Malefyane; Suhre, Cor; Hofman, Adriaan – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2016
Cooperative learning may improve students' motivation, understanding of course concepts, and academic performance. This study therefore enhanced a cooperative, group-project learning technique with technology resources to determine whether doing so improved students' deep learning and performance. A sample of 118 engineering students, randomly…

Student Use of the Tablet PC: Impact on Student Learning Behaviors
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Amelink, Catherine T.; Scales, Glenda; Tront, Joseph G. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2012
Pedagogical approaches that incorporate learning technologies into lessons and coursework have had promising results in relation to students' motivation to learn. Tablet PCs have been identified as one form of instructional technology that can facilitate learning among engineering undergraduates since this medium allows for drawing on the computer…

Understanding of the Relationship between Interest and Expectancy for Success in Engineering Design Activity in Grades 9-12
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lawanto, Oenardi; Santoso, Harry B.; Liu, Yang – Educational Technology & Society, 2012
In this study, the relationship between students' interest in engineering design activities and their expectancy for success in grades 9-12 was evaluated. The theoretical frameworks developed by Eccles and colleagues (i.e., expectancy value) and Butler and Cartier (i.e., what the students bring to contexts under a self-regulated learning…
