Direct linkZhou, Yuchun – Journal of Mixed Methods Research, 2023
There is a paucity of empirical research on teaching mixed methods. To fill this gap in literature, this convergent mixed methods study explores the effectiveness of using active learning approaches in teaching a mixed methods course. The qualitative data, including 10 individual interviews, 29 students' reflections, and 26 teaching evaluation…

Shekhar, Prateek; Prince, Michael; Finelli, Cynthia; Demonbrun, Matt; Waters, Cynthia – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2019
Engineering education researchers are increasingly integrating qualitative and quantitative research methods to study learning and retention in engineering. While quantitative methods can provide generalisable results, qualitative methods generate rich, descriptive understanding of the investigated phenomenon. On the other hand, a mixed methods…

Spyrtou, Anna; Lavonen, Jari; Zoupidis, Anastasios; Loukomies, Anni; Pnevmatikos, Dimitris; Juuti, Kalle; Kariotoglou, Petros – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2018
In the present paper, we report on the idea of exchanging educational innovations across European countries aiming to shed light on the following question: how feasible and useful is it to transfer an innovation across different national educational settings? The innovation, in this case, Inquiry-Based Teaching Learning Sequences, is recognized as…

The acquisition of digital and research competencies for educating university students is a requirement that is becoming more relevant given the demands of today's society. However, learning methodologies used by professors seem to be detached from reality, preventing the development of applicable learning, as well as the acquisition of those…

Pilgrim, M. E.; Gehrtz, J. – PRIMUS, 2018
In an effort to improve upon Calculus I instruction at our institution, we designed a pilot study that incorporated a variety of evidence-based classroom practices. The goal was not to formally test known successful teaching interventions. Rather, the purpose was to develop and identify course materials and instructional methods that would not…

Ilic, Peter – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2019
This paper reflects on an attempt to introduce smartphones into a blended learning context and highlights several methodological considerations relevant to the collection of mobile data. While mixed methods are now common, using this approach for investigating the challenges of mobile data collection is not as common. This study employed a mixed…

Walker, Ryan J.; Spangler, Brooke R.; Lloyd, E. Paige; Walker, Bethany L.; Wessels, Peter M.; Summerville, Amy – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2018
Instructors often implement technology-based active learning pedagogies, such as clickers, to maximise student engagement and facilitate learning outcomes. Despite the abundance of clicker research, no work has directly compared student performance as well as student perceptions of clickers to a distinct, non-technological active learning…

Foss, James – ProQuest LLC, 2017
At the intersection of scholarly literature on education psychology and early childhood education, documentation of pre-service teachers (PSTs) epistemic thinking can serve to clarify and guide how instructional practice is interpreted. This exploratory case study fills a critical gap in the field of epistemology by providing a profile of PSTs…

Many efforts to improve science teaching in higher education focus on a few faculty members at an institution at a time, with limited published evidence on attempts to engage faculty across entire departments. We created a long-term, department-wide collaborative professional development program, Biology Faculty Explorations in Scientific Teaching…

Arantes do Amaral, Joao Alberto – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2017
In this case study we discuss the dynamics that drive a free-of-charge project-based learning extension course. We discuss the lessons learned in the course, "Laboratory of Social Projects." The course aimed to teach project management skills to the participants. It was conducted from August to November of 2015, at Federal University of…

George-Williams, Stephen R.; Soo, Jue T.; Ziebell, Angela L.; Thompson, Christopher D.; Overton, Tina L. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2018
Many examples exist in the chemical education literature of individual experiments, whole courses or even entire year levels that have been completely renewed under the tenets of context-based, inquiry-based or problem-based learning. The benefits of these changes are well documented and include higher student engagement, broader skill development…
