Davies, Martin – Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, 2019
Some have claimed that critical thinking is not a skill as much as an attitude. A "critical spirit"--whatever that might mean could be simultaneously both a skill and an attitude. Others have suggested that it comprises skills in argumentation, logic, and an awareness of cognitive biases in psychology. Whatever definition one favors, the…

Planalp, Sally; Dohanos, Andrew D. – Communication Teacher, 2014
The "What Would You Say?" (WWYS?) exercise was developed to help students reflect on and improve their message response choices in the moment, as prompted by fictionalized interpersonal scenarios from films. Video clips were chosen to exemplify situations that were identified by students in a pilot study as situations in which they or…

Py, Dominique; Auxepaules, Ludovic; Alonso, Mathilde – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2013
This paper presents Diagram, a learning environment for object-oriented modelling (OOM) with UML class diagrams. Diagram an open environment, in which the teacher can add new exercises without constraints on the vocabulary or the size of the diagram. The interface includes methodological help, encourages self-correcting and self-monitoring, and…

Soares, S. N.; Wagner, F. R. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2011
Teaching and Design Workbench (T&D-Bench) is a framework aimed at education and research in the areas of computer architecture and embedded systems. It includes a set of features not found in other educational environments. This set of features is the result of an original combination of design requirements for T&D-Bench: that the…

Proctor, James D.; Bernstein, Jennifer – Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences, 2013
What is environment? The answer to this question is fundamental to how we teach environmental studies and sciences (ESS). We follow recent scholarly literature in approaching environment as connection, not as some category of reality, and consider pedagogical implications via concept mapping, a new learning technology. Concept maps potentially…

Park, Seung Won – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2013
General education classes involve extensive course readings. College instructors have a limited time to cover every detail of the materials students are supposed to learn in class; thus, they expect students to learn through course readings. However, many college students demonstrate a low level of engagement in course reading tasks. Existing…

Yee, Kevin; Hargis, Jace – Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education, 2012
Educators know that students create better projects when they are personally invested in the material. The rewards are particularly significant when students can exercise some degree of creativity in the process of developing their projects. One tried-and-true avenue for creative expression is through the use of stories or narratives. Simply…

Faleye, Sunday – Online Submission, 2011
This research report presents a new teaching and learning model in engineering classes. The proposed learning model is called the CCAILM (constructionist computer aided instructional learning model). This new model was derived from the constructionist learning theory, the media-affects-learning hypothesis and the multiple representation principle.…

Mueller, Daniel; Strohmeier, Stefan – Computers & Education, 2011
Virtual learning environments constitute current information systems' category for electronically supported training and development in (higher) education(al) and vocational training settings. Frequently expected advantages of using virtual learning environments refer, for instance, to the efficiency, individuality, ubiquity, timeliness and…

Whitton, Nicola – Simulation & Gaming, 2011
One of the benefits of computer game-based learning is the ability of certain types of game to engage and motivate learners. However, theories of learning and engagement, particularly in the sphere of higher education, typically fail to consider gaming engagement theory. In this article, the author examines the principles of engagement from games…

Giberti, H.; Cinquemani, S. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2012
The design of the drive system for an automatic machine and its correct sizing is a very important competence for an electrical or mechatronic engineer. This requires knowledge that crosses the fields of electrical engineering, electronics and mechanics, as well as the skill to choose commercial components based upon their technical documentation.…

Picciano, Anthony G. – Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 2012
Data-driven decision making, popularized in the 1980s and 1990s, is evolving into a vastly more sophisticated concept known as big data that relies on software approaches generally referred to as analytics. Big data and analytics for instructional applications are in their infancy and will take a few years to mature, although their presence is…

Tucker, Richard; Morris, Gayle – Research in Learning Technology, 2012
The term "flexible education" is now firmly entrenched within Australian higher education discourse, yet the term is a contested one imbued with a multiplicity of meanings. This paper describes a process designed to elucidate how the idea of flexible education can be translated into teaching models that are informed by the specific…

Singh, Gurmukh – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2012
The present article is primarily targeted for the advanced college/university undergraduate students of chemistry/physics education, computational physics/chemistry, and computer science. The most recent software system such as MS Visual Studio .NET version 2010 is employed to perform computer simulations for modeling Bohr's quantum theory of…

Peters, Robert; Beeson, Melisa – PS: Political Science and Politics, 2010
The process of transforming students from novices into experts relies on active learning and the development of an appreciation for the links among topics. Since rote or stimulus-response learning is preferred by a majority of students who are beginning their programs of study but does not optimize learning and understanding, the first step in the…
