Huangfu, Qian; Li, Hong; Tang, Sanshan; Wang, Jianrong; Liu, Qian; Chen, Guojun – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2022
Although the chemical literature contains many studies of multimedia-based learning and teacher enthusiasm, there is a paucity of research on whether and to what extent teacher enthusiasm in video lectures affects students' learning, especially in chemistry. In this context, this mixed-method study used eye tracking and quantitative analysis to…

Boyle, Joseph R. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2010
While today's teachers use a variety of teaching methods in middle-school science classes, lectures and note-taking still comprise a major portion of students' class time. To be successful in these classes, middle-school students need effective listening and note-taking skills. Students with learning disabilities (LD) are poor note-takers, which…
