Ali Rezaei – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2024
Educational tools like EdPuzzle, PlayPosit, and Kaltura have gained recent attention, as they purportedly empower educators to incorporate questions, quizzes, and discussions into instructional videos. However, there is no empirical evidence on how or under what circumstances these platforms may impact students' learning. A quasi-experimental…

Dominik Diermann; Jenna Koenen – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Most chemistry students struggle with interpreting and understanding NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectra and the general concepts of NMR spectroscopy. NMR spectroscopy seems to be difficult to both teach and learn. Therefore, the corresponding courses should be investigated in more detail. We conducted a survey with N = 39 German university…

Yunus Kökver; Hüseyin Miraç Pektas; Harun Çelik – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
This study aims to determine the misconceptions of teacher candidates about the greenhouse effect concept by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm instead of human experts. The Knowledge Discovery from Data (KDD) process model was preferred in the study where the Analyse, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate (ADDIE) instructional design…

Mary Jane Brundage; Alexandru Maries; Chandralekha Singh – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
The Energy and Momentum Conceptual Survey (EMCS) is a multiple-choice survey that contains conceptual problems involving a variety of energy and momentum concepts covered in a typical introductory physics course for science and engineering majors. Prior studies suggest that many concepts on the survey are challenging for introductory physics…

Patrick B. Johnson; Corinna Singleman; Jennifer Valad; Eva Fernandez; Nathalia Holtzman – College Teaching, 2025
This study examined the extent to which college algebra instructors employ pedagogical practices previously found to assist students master difficult STEM content material and address their own previous math deficits. Faculty classroom behaviors were assessed with a modified version of the Generalized Observation and Reflection Platform (GORP).…

Joash Geteregechi – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2025
This paper presents the findings of a study involving 16 undergraduate students enrolled in a basic financial mathematics course. The study aimed to examine the nature of the students' problem-posing and problem-solving products and processes, as well as the interactions between the two. The findings revealed that the majority of the posed…

Brandon J. Yik – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The work in this dissertation is presented in two parts. The first part (Chapters 3 and 4) details work relating to students' explanations of reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry. The second part (Chapters 5 and 6) details work relating to the evaluating the uptake of research-based instructional practices in introductory chemistry,…

Lisa M. DeChano-Cook; Lucius F. Hallett IV – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2024
Teaching sports geography in higher education on the surface seems like it would be a great course to draw students in, get them exposed to geographic concepts, tools, and techniques, and the perfect forum for using examples to which students can relate. However, there are few instances of a sports geography course being in a regular rotation of…

Carolina Cuesta-Hincapie; Zui Cheng; Marisa Exter – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2024
Creativity is a valuable skill for instructional designers. However, few studies have researched creativity in instructional design (ID) graduate courses. Future professionals' creative thinking is necessary to address societal, technological, and economic challenges. Developing creative thinking in novice instructional designers could allow them…

Forde-Leaves, Natalie; Walton, Jack; Tann, Ken – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2023
A source of contestation in higher education curricula is the multiplicity of demands they serve and purposes they seek to fulfil. In this paper, we see this contestation as actively shaping assessment theory and practice, resulting in paradoxes of valorisation and vilification of everyday assessment practices. We address the plethora of…

Siddique, Faraz – ProQuest LLC, 2023
First-generation students, especially in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields, have low persistence rates. Research shows that one of the barriers to their low persistence is a need for a student-centered pedagogical approach. Research has shown that if an instructor incorporates a pause technique during a standard lecture,…

Lauren A. Mason; Abigail Miller; Gregory Hughes; Holly A. Taylor – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2025
False alarming, or detecting an error when there is not one, is a pervasive problem across numerous industries. The present study investigated the role of elaboration, or additional information about non-error differences in complex visual displays, for mitigating false error responding. In Experiment 1, learners studied errors and non-error…

Erik Hanke – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2024
Although complex analysis is part of the study programs of many mathematics undergraduates, little research has been done on how individuals interpret basic concepts from complex analysis. To address this gap, this paper investigates how experts individually think about complex path integrals. For this purpose, the commognitive framework is used…

Joshua Meyer – Experiential Learning and Teaching in Higher Education, 2024
This paper addresses a call for submissions to provide greater clarity on the defining features of experiential learning. This is accomplished with a critical review of literature relevant to experiential learning and a qualitative-leading, mixed-method investigation exploring the defining features, canonical works, and theoretical foundations of…

Relaford-Doyle, Josephine; Núñez, Rafael – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2021
This paper describes a study that used a novel method to investigate conceptual difficulties with mathematical induction among two groups of undergraduate students: students who had received university-level instruction in formal mathematical induction, and students who had not been exposed to formal mathematical induction at the university level.…
