Social annotation plays a crucial role in nurturing and sustaining a collaborative reading community, offering the potential to enhance students' motivation and performance within socially supportive learning environments. Nonetheless, research on the dynamic changes in student engagement in social annotation remains limited. This study aims to…

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…

Amanda J. Shaker; Christopher Brignell; Mathew Pugh – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
A commonly-held belief is that many university students are 'assessment-driven'; that is, students engage more with activities that are assessed compared with those that are not. 'Incentivised engagement' includes the practice of providing incentives (such as marks or otherwise) for students to engage in particular activities. Perusall is a social…

Undergraduate physics and astronomy students are expected to engage with scientific literature as they begin their research careers, yet reading comprehension skills are rarely explicitly taught in major courses. We seek to determine the efficacy of a reading assignment designed to improve undergraduate astronomy (or related) majors' perceived…

Lijia Lin; Shan Li; Xiaoshan Huang; Fu Chen – Distance Education, 2024
The purpose of the study was to examine (a) students' social annotation behaviors and engagement change in an undergraduate course throughout the semester, and (b) which social annotation behaviors impact active engagement time. A total of 91 university students' social annotation behaviors, as well as their active engagement time in readings,…

Professors and students have contradictory views of course reading. Professors believe that reading outside of the classroom is essential in optimizing learning. However, students often find the readings to be time-consuming, not necessary to pass the class, and an option rather than a requirement. We surveyed 449 undergraduate university students…

Nelson, Jacob L.; Edgerly, Stephanie – Journalism and Mass Communication Educator, 2022
Journalism stakeholders increasingly believe that they need to better understand the news audience to accomplish their goals. Our study explores the extent to which this "audience turn" has unfolded in the education of future journalists. Drawing on data collected from course syllabi from leading journalism schools throughout the United…

Pickett, Sarah B.; Nielson, Catie; Marshall, Hydea; Tanner, Kimberly D.; Coley, John D. – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2022
Students possess informal, intuitive ways of reasoning about the world, including biological phenomena. Although useful in some cases, intuitive reasoning can also lead to the development of scientifically inaccurate ideas that conflict with central concepts taught in formal biology education settings, including evolution. Using antibiotic…

Gorzycki, Meg; Desa, Geoffrey; Howard, Pamela J.; Allen, Diane D. – Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 2020
Qualitative data analysis from open-ended comments written by 206 undergraduates illustrates student attitudes, beliefs, and practices that reveal an academic reading paradox. Consistently, undergraduates report that reading is valuable, yet their noncompliance with reading assignments suggests otherwise. Undergraduates report that they achieve…

Oslawski-Lopez, Jamie; Kordsmeier, Gregory – Teaching Sociology, 2021
We investigate student listening compliance, preference for audio versus print content, and exam performance when professionally produced podcasts are assigned as "readings" and provided in both audio and print formats. Listening/reading compliance for the assigned podcasts was high compared with figures reported in previous research.…

Cserni, Robert T.; Rademacher, Heidi E. – College Teaching, 2021
Studies show only 20 to 40 percent of students read assigned texts and are prepared for class discussions. To address this issue we created the "3-2-1 Reading Assignment," in which students engage in critical reading and deep learning by providing "three" points that summarize the text, "two" points that analyze it,…

Baldi, Brian; Mejia, Cynthia – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2023
Slow reading has long been viewed as a teaching technique that engages students more deeply with course readings. Little systematic research, however, has been done to understand how this pedagogical strategy works in college classrooms. This study investigated how slow reading techniques promoted deep learning among undergraduate college students…

Rahimi, Sonia; Hall, Nathan C. – Innovative Higher Education, 2021
Academic procrastination is understood as the postponement of academic tasks despite the possibility of negative consequences, with an estimated 46% of undergraduate students and 60% of graduate students regularly engaging in this behavior. The purpose of the present study was to contrast procrastination behavior on specific academic tasks…

Ogochukwu Onyiri – HAPS Educator, 2024
In the United States, there is a demand for registered nurses. To be admitted into the nursing program, students need to complete prerequisite courses such as human anatomy and physiology. Many students find human anatomy and physiology challenging due to the nature of the content. Poor performance in human anatomy and physiology can preclude a…

Ives, Lindsey; Mitchell, Taylor Joy; Hübl, Helena – InSight: A Journal of Scholarly Teaching, 2020
Recognizing a need to promote critical reading among students at our STEM university, the authors implemented an active reading strategy called double-entry notes across four general education writing and humanities courses. We hypothesized that the tool would help engage students in the critical reading strategies they tended to lack. The tool…
