Michael Hortsch – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2024
Traditional academic lectures have long been criticized as providing a passive learning environment to students. Often, they do not capture the audience's attention, resulting in learners being distracted or bored and thereby reducing their learning efficacy. Consequently, they are being abandoned by many schools and universities as an educational…

Luke McCrone; Martyn Kingsbury – npj Science of Learning, 2024
The move away from transmission-based lecturing toward a more student-centred active learning approach is well evidenced in STEM higher education. However, the examination of active learning has generally remained confined to formal timetabled contexts, with assumptions made that students independently manage the transition between timetabled and…

Shelby Lynn Smith – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The current set of studies examined whether two common appraisals that students make during learning (whether they have control over their learning and whether they place value into learning the material) give rise to common types of thoughts students also experience (mind wandering, personal connections, and freely-moving thought). Study One…

Lorrie Ann Kelly – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The problem is that online learners in universities experience mind-wandering while viewing video lectures because of low rates of engagement, leading to a loss of focus. The purpose of this qualitative case study is to explore how interactive online activities that relate directly to a lecture can mitigate the problem faced by online university…

Michael P. A. Murphy; Andrea Phillipson; Andrew Leger – College Teaching, 2025
Recent years have witnessed the spread of purpose-built active learning classrooms throughout the higher education sector. While these innovative learning spaces are well-suited for a variety of active learning strategies, their lack of a single focal point means they are inconvenient spaces for lecturing. While educational developers often…

Iannone, Paola; Miller, Dominic – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2019
This paper reports findings from a case study of the impact that teaching using guided notes has on university mathematics students' note-taking behaviour. Whereas previous research indicates that students do not appreciate the importance of lecturers' non-written comments and record in their notes only what is written on the board when taught…

To investigate patterns of gender-based performance gaps, we conducted a meta-analysis of published studies and unpublished data collected across 169 undergraduate biology and chemistry courses. While we did not detect an overall gender gap in performance, heterogeneity analyses suggested further analysis was warranted, so we investigated whether…

Fries, Laura; DeCaro, Marci S.; Ramirez, Gerardo – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
Research demonstrates that seductive details negatively impact learning from instructional materials such as textbooks and learning modules. Yet, anecdotally, teachers and students consider seductive details an enhancement to classroom lectures. We examined this apparent disconnect by exploring the impact of seductive details in mathematics…

Mojtahedi, Mohammad; Kamardeen, Imriyas; Rahmat, Homa; Ryan, Catherine – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2020
Universities are facing many challenges with growing student numbers and a need to modify the traditional lecture and tutorial-based face-to-face pedagogical style both for students who work full-time while studying and for international students who may have language difficulties. To address these challenges, a flipped classroom pedagogical model…
