Sarah F. Small – Journal of Economic Education, 2024
The author of this article describes an exercise for introductory economics courses in which students are exposed to the breadth of economic study using JEL codes. JEL codes have historically been used to classify economic subject matter and ultimately document the ever-evolving scope of economics. This discussion assignment provides an…

Automatic program repair (APR) tools are valuable for students to assist them with debugging tasks since program repair captures the code modification to make a buggy program pass the given test-suite. However, the process of manually generating catalogs of code modifications is intricate and time-consuming. This article proposes contextual error…

Taneisha Vilma; Daniel A. Nuccio; Amanda M. Durik; M. Anne Britt – Psychology Learning and Teaching, 2025
Introductory psychology students need supports to read and think in a discipline-specific way when learning psychology theories. We tested the effectiveness of using a task-model steps chart to help students understand, evaluate, and use theories presented in their introductory psychology textbook and lecture videos. We randomly assigned 52…

Michael E. Ellis; K. Mike Casey; Geoffrey Hill – Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education, 2024
Large Language Model (LLM) artificial intelligence tools present a unique challenge for educators who teach programming languages. While LLMs like ChatGPT have been well documented for their ability to complete exams and create prose, there is a noticeable lack of research into their ability to solve problems using high-level programming…

Herman, Jacqueline; Kerby-Helm, April – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2022
Many statistics education researchers have found that statistics students' attitudes tend to decrease over the duration of a course. Although many researchers have tried to incorporate a variety of activities and/or teaching methods to improve student attitudes, many are not only very time consuming to implement, but have also not shown many…

Rodrigues, Luiz; Pereira, Filipe; Toda, Armando; Palomino, Paula; Oliveira, Wilk; Pessoa, Marcela; Carvalho, Leandro; Oliveira, David; Oliveira, Elaine; Cristea, Alexandra; Isotani, Seiji – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2022
Students face several difficulties in introductory programming courses (CS1), often leading to high dropout rates, student demotivation, and lack of interest. The literature has indicated that the adequate use of gamification might improve learning in several domains, including CS1. However, the understanding of which (and how) factors influence…

Grace Onodipe; Darryl Romanow; Michelle M. Robbins – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2025
Prior research has posited that flipped classrooms facilitate students' self-directed learning and enhance grades. Although reflective writing is one method linked to academic success, it rarely has been examined empirically in the literature within the context of flipped classrooms. The current study investigated the association between growth…

Background: Generative artificial intelligence (AI) represents a potentially powerful, time-saving tool for grading student essays. However, little is known about how AI-generated essay scores compare to human instructor scores. Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the essay grading scores produced by AI with those of human…

Cizmar, Anne M.; Holt, Benjamin Tyler – Journal of Political Science Education, 2023
Reading is critical to success in college. Faculty members often decry students who come to class without reading, and unprepared for the lessons of the day. Yet, relatively little empirical research assesses how to best stimulate collegiate reading and what types of reading assessments provide the best student learning outcomes. This paper…

Angelita T. Rivera; Shaelin Chong; Jerick Kim; Melinda T. Owens – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2024
Scientist Spotlights are homework assignments that highlight the personal and scientific stories of counterstereotypical scientists. Previous research has focused on whether these assignments promote possible selves in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics). We sought to understand the value students themselves placed on the…

Brown-Kramer, Carolyn R. – Teaching of Psychology, 2022
Background: Psychology courses provide a good opportunity for instructors to teach students effective learning strategies integrated with content. Objective: This replication and extension study explored changes in students' self-reported use of learning strategies before and after a term paper assignment and examined the relationships between…

A. M. Aramati Casper; Rebecca A. Atadero; A. Rahman Abdallah; Tom Siller – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2024
Civil engineering education must be updated to keep pace with the profession and move past a culture of disengagement where technical work is considered separate from societal impact. Civil engineering students need to engage with diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) so they can understand the differential impacts of engineering on…

Preparing for exams in introductory biology classrooms is a complex metacognitive task. Focusing on lower achieving students (those with entering ACT scores below the median at our institution), we compared the effect of two different assignments distributed ahead of exams by dividing classes in half to receive either terms to define or open-ended…

Mastery-based assignments typically provide students with multiple opportunities to improve their performance, but getting students to take advantage of these opportunities is difficult. We report on the implementation of a two-part series of nudges designed to improve students' engagement with and performance on mastery-based assignments in…

Turk, Judith K.; Young, Rebecca A. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
Estimation of soil texture is an essential skill for soil scientists, but a difficult skill to learn. We compared two approaches for teaching soil texture: the traditional flowchart approach and an experimental self-calibration method. Three lab sections of an introductory soil science class were assigned to learn by the flowchart method (n = 60)…
