Josh Tenenberg; Donald Chinn – Computer Science Education, 2025
Background and context: We address the question of what computer science students take the discipline to be. How students conceive the discipline can influence whether a student pursues computer science, what particular area within computer science they focus on and whether they persist in the discipline. In this paper, we examine the epistemic…

Lee, Seung Hwan; Sergueeva, Ksenia; Catangui, Mathew; Kandaurova, Maria – Journal of Education for Business, 2017
In the past, researchers have explored virtual reality (VR) as an educational tool primarily for training or therapeutic purposes. In this research, the authors examine the potential for using Google Cardboard VR in business classrooms as a content delivery platform. They specifically investigate how VR (viewing a 3-dimensional, 360° video)…

Neergaard, Helle; Christensen, Dorthe Refslund – Industry and Higher Education, 2017
Learning is related to the environment created for the learning experience. This environment is often highly routinized and involves a certain social structure, but in entrepreneurship education, such routinization and structure may actually counteract the learning goals. This article investigates how classroom routines and rituals impact on…

Teneqexhi, Romeo; Kuneshka, Loreta – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2016
In traditional "face to face" lessons, during the time the teacher writes on a black or white board, the students are always behind the teacher. Sometimes, this happens even in the recorded lesson in videos. Most of the time during the lesson, the teacher shows to the students his back not his face. We do not think the term "face to…

Blom, Helen C.; Marschark, Marc – Deafness & Education International, 2015
This study was designed to evaluate the potential of simultaneous communication (sign and speech together) to support classroom learning by college students who use cochlear implants (CIs). Metacognitive awareness of learning also was evaluated. A within-subjects design involving 40 implant users indicated that the student participants learned…

Steele, John; Dyer, Thomas – Journal of Instructional Research, 2014
Measuring student success is a top priority to ensure the best possible student outcomes. The objective of this present study was to investigate whether classroom assessment techniques (CATs), specifically KWLs, which is the acronym for "what you know," "what you want to know," and "what you learned," increase student…

Gross, Benjamin; Marinari, Maddalena; Hoffman, Mike; DeSimone, Kimberly; Burke, Peggy – Educational Research Quarterly, 2015
In this paper, the authors find empirical support for the effectiveness of the flipped classroom model. Using a quasi-experimental method, the authors compared students enrolled in flipped courses to their counterparts in more traditional lecture-based ones. A survey instrument was constructed to study how these two different groups of students…

Crews, Thad; Butterfield, Jeff – Higher Education Studies, 2014
Colleges and universities have seen considerable enrollment growth in online courses during the past decade. However, online modalities are not optimal for all subject areas or students. There is growing interest in hybrid, blended, and flipped instruction as a way to incorporate the best of different delivery methods. This study investigates and…

Little, Christopher – Research in Post-Compulsory Education, 2015
The flipped classroom seeks to remove didactic instruction from the classroom and deliver it via electronic videos outside of the classroom, leaving contact time free for more interactive and engaging teaching and learning activities. This paper has two distinct aims: (1) to conduct a literature review of published UK-based "flipped…

Murphree, Daniel – Social Studies, 2015
"Flipping" the Classroom techniques and the use of Embedded Writing Consultants (EWC) in institutions of higher education have been the subject of scholarly research in recent years. However, it appears that no studies have examined the simultaneous use of both "tools" in an introductory History course at the university level.…

Raymond, Chad; Usherwood, Simon – Journal of Political Science Education, 2013
Simulations are employed widely as teaching tools in political science, yet evidence of their pedagogical effectiveness, in comparison to other methods of instruction, is mixed. The assessment of learning outcomes is often a secondary concern in simulation design, and the qualitative and quantitative methods used to evaluate outcomes are…

Matkins, Juanita Jo; McDonnough, Jacqueline; Goff, Kevin – Teacher Education and Practice, 2014
This study compares two initiatives for preparing science teachers for careers in high-need schools, each using a distinct, locally adaptive approach. One university adopted an immersive, naturalistic strategy, with modified field placements that gave preservice teachers protracted experiences in high need classrooms. The other university provided…
