Sidney Newton; Rui Wang – Educational Studies, 2024
Notwithstanding the neuromyth controversy, the malleability of learning style preferences impacts the validity of the measurement instrument and the effectiveness of the associated model of learning. This study investigates the test-retest reliability and underlying dynamics of Kolb's Learning Style Inventory (KLSI). It surveys 245 college-level…

Phillip Dawson; Zi Yan; Anastasiya Lipnevich; Joanna Tai; David Boud; Paige Mahoney – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2024
Feedback can be powerful, but its effects are dependent on what students do. There has been intensive research in recent years under the banner of 'feedback literacy' to understand how to help students make the most of feedback. Although there are instruments to measure feedback literacy, they largely measure perceptions and orientations rather…

Ryan, Tracii; Henderson, Michael; Ryan, Kris; Kennedy, Gregor – Teaching in Higher Education, 2023
Due to recent conceptual shifts towards learner-centred feedback, there is a potential gap between research and practice. Indeed, few models or studies have sought to identify or evaluate which semantic messages, or feedback components, teachers should include in learner-centred feedback comments. Instead, teacher practices are likely to be…

McLennan, Brad; McIlveen, Peter; Perera, Harsha – Journal of Education for Teaching: International Research and Pedagogy, 2021
The present research demonstrates initial evidence of validity of a model of pedagogical practice for teacher educators, the Pre-Service Teacher Motivation Model, which is conceptually based in self-determination theory. The study deployed a survey comprising items constituting the proposed model's factors, and measures of satisfaction of basic…

Stephens, Rachel G.; Dunn, John C.; Hayes, Brett K. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
When asked to determine whether a syllogistic argument is deductively valid, people are influenced by their prior beliefs about the believability of the conclusion. Recently, two competing explanations for this belief bias effect have been proposed, each based on signal detection theory (SDT). Under a response bias explanation, people set more…

Aoun, Chadi; Vatanasakdakul, Savanid; Ang, Karyne – Studies in Higher Education, 2018
Reflective teaching practice is often heralded as a pillar of effective tuition. However, the perceptions of multiple forms of feedback among learners and their contributions to reflective learning is yet to attract significant attention, particularly in the Information Systems (IS) context. This research investigates the antecedent constituents…

Kearney, Sean; Perkins, Timothy; Kennedy-Clark, Shannon – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2016
The purpose of this paper is to provide a proof of concept of a collaborative peer-, self- and lecturer assessment processes. The research presented here is part of an ongoing study on self- and peer assessments in higher education. The authentic assessment for sustainable learning (AASL) model is evaluated in terms of the correlations between…

Wong, Kung-Teck; Teo, Timothy; Goh, Pauline Swee Choo – Interactive Learning Environments, 2015
The effective use of an interactive whiteboard (IWB) in teacher-education institutions depends strongly on student teachers' intention of using it. Despite the recent surge in published research on the widespread applications for IWBs in teaching and learning, few have developed a model to elucidate the factors which influence student teachers'…

Kovanovic, Vitomir; Gaševic, Dragan; Dawson, Shane; Joksimovic, Srecko; Baker, Ryan S.; Hatala, Marek – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2015
With widespread adoption of Learning Management Systems (LMS) and other learning technology, large amounts of data--commonly known as trace data--are readily accessible to researchers. Trace data has been extensively used to calculate time that students spend on different learning activities--typically referred to as time-on-task. These measures…

Grunes, Paul; Gudmundsson, Amanda; Irmer, Bernd – Educational Management Administration & Leadership, 2014
Researchers have found that transformational leadership is related to positive outcomes in educational institutions. Hence, it is important to explore constructs that may predict leadership style in order to identify potential transformational leaders in assessment and selection procedures. Several studies in non-educational settings have found…

Boyd, Leanne – Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, 2014
The workload of academics in Australia is increasing. Among the potential ramifications of this are work-related stress and burnout. Unions have negotiated workload models in employment agreements as a means of distributing workload in a fair and transparent manner. This qualitative pilot study aimed to explore how academics perceive their current…

Gluga, R.; Kay, J.; Lever, T. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2013
It is important, but very challenging, to design degree programs, so that the sequence of learning activities, topics, and assessments over three to five years give an effective progression in learning of generic skills, discipline-specific learning goals and accreditation competencies. Our CUSP (Course and Unit of Study Portal) system tackles…

Darling-Hammond, Linda – Learning Policy Institute, 2017
After passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) in 2015, states assumed greater responsibility for designing their own accountability and assessment systems. ESSA requires states to measure "higher order thinking skills and understanding" and encourages the use of open-ended performance assessments, which are essential for…

McMurray, Adela; Scott, Don – Higher Education Research and Development, 2013
Being aware of the factors that develop a positive organisational climate is especially important in universities, where the academic members of staff are, in large measure, self-motivated. To identify the determinants of organisational climate for university academia, the validity and reliability of the first-order constructs of autonomy,…

Pritchard, Stephen C.; Coltheart, Max; Palethorpe, Sallyanne; Castles, Anne – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Two prominent dual-route computational models of reading aloud are the dual-route cascaded (DRC) model, and the connectionist dual-process plus (CDP+) model. While sharing similarly designed lexical routes, the two models differ greatly in their respective nonlexical route architecture, such that they often differ on nonword pronunciation. Neither…
