Maurer, Stephan; Schwerdt, Guido; Wiederhold, Simon – Centre for Economic Performance, 2023
We study whether female students benefit from being taught by female professors, and whether such gender match effects differ by class size. We use administrative records of a German public university, covering all programs and courses between 2006 and 2018. We find that gender match effects on student performance are sizable in smaller classes,…

Lydia Ross; Stephen Krause; Eugene Judson; Keith D. Hjelmstad; Robert Culbertson; James A. Middleton; Lindy Mayled; Sara Hoyt; Kara L. Hjelmstad – Advances in Engineering Education, 2024
Active learning pedagogical practices are more effective than instructor-centered teaching in building students' knowledge, skills, and understanding of engineering content and concepts. As such, a large-scale professional development (PD) program was created to move faculty toward the use of active learning. The project aimed to engage faculty in…

As a supplement to face-to-face teaching, small private online courses (SPOCs) have become increasingly popular in higher education. Nevertheless, there is a lack of research on behavioral patterns in the university SPOC. This empirical study investigates the behavioral patterns of 306 undergraduate students taking a degree course partially taught…

Viano, Samantha; Pham, Lam D.; Henry, Gary T.; Kho, Adam; Zimmer, Ron – American Educational Research Journal, 2021
Attracting and retaining teachers can be an important ingredient in improving low-performing schools. In this study, we estimate the expressed preferences for teachers who have worked in low-performing schools in Tennessee. Using adaptive conjoint analysis survey design, we examine three types of school attributes that may influence teachers'…
