Frede, Christiane; Knobelsdorf, Maria – Computer Science Education, 2021
Background and Context: Considerable numbers of Computer science (CS) undergraduate majors struggle in Theory of Computation (ToC) courses, which strengthen bimodality beliefs of student performance. Reasons for students struggling are assumed to be manifold but substantial ground is based on studies providing singular insights into this matter.…

Brett Mohar – Reading in a Foreign Language, 2024
L2 extensive reading (ER) research primarily studies intermediate and upper-intermediate learners, but few studies investigate beginners. This study addresses this gap by reporting on beginner Japanese as Foreign Language (JFL) learners' attempts to do ER according to Waring and McLean's (2015) ER principles. In this study, 13 second-semester…

Galyon, Charles E.; Voils, Kyle L.; Blondin, Carolyn A.; Williams, Robert L. – Innovative Higher Education, 2015
Students in an introductory educational psychology course submitted answers to daily homework questions for which they received credit either for percentage of questions answered in every homework assignment or for the accuracy of their answers to 10% of randomly selected questions. Potential credit was the same under both homework contingencies,…

Liberatore, Matthew W.; Morrish, Rachel M.; Vestal, Charles R. – Advances in Engineering Education, 2017
The utility of Just-In-Time-Teaching (JITT) is compared across course topics and groups of students not receiving JITT exercises in class. JITT feedback incorporated various active learning exercises based on students' performance on online homework problems from Sapling Learning. With over 200 students in two sections participating in the…

Gyllen, Justin Gordon – ProQuest LLC, 2017
This dissertation examines students' use of written course materials in introductory engineering courses, begins to elucidate the relationships between students' study habits and their subsequent course performance, and evaluates the impact that carefully designed preparatory assignments has on these relationships. Much of previous educational…

Peterson, Daniel J. – Teaching of Psychology, 2016
There are but a handful of experimental or quasi-experimental studies comparing student outcomes from flipped or inverted classrooms to more traditional lecture formats. In the current study, I present cumulative exam performance and student evaluation data from two sections of a statistics course I recently taught: one a traditional lecture (N =…

Teacher Mindset and the Nature of Feedback Provided to Students in the Pennsylvania Keystone Courses
Prevost, Kimberly Ann Jones – ProQuest LLC, 2017
This study explored the nature of feedback strategies that teachers of Pennsylvania's Keystone courses (Algebra I, biology, and literature) used to prepare their students to meet the minimum proficiency standard on the corresponding Keystone exam, taken at the end of the course. Teachers reported highest usage of the following feedback types:…

Predictors of Performance in Introductory Finance: Variables within and beyond the Student's Control
Englander, Fred; Wang, Zhaobo; Betz, Kenneth – Higher Education Studies, 2015
This study examined variables that are within and beyond the control of students in explaining variations in performance in an introductory finance course. Regression models were utilized to consider whether the variables within the student's control have a greater impact on course performance relative to the variables beyond the student's…

Colvin, Kimberly F.; Champaign, John; Liu, Alwina; Zhou, Qian; Fredericks, Colin; Pritchard, David E. – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2014
We studied student learning in the MOOC 8.MReV Mechanics ReView, run on the edX.org open source platform. We studied learning in two ways. We administered 13 conceptual questions both before and after instruction, analyzing the results using standard techniques for pre- and posttesting. We also analyzed each week's homework and test questions in…

Jaggars, Shanna Smith; Edgecombe, Nikki; Stacey, Georgia West – Community College Research Center, Columbia University, 2013
Student outcomes in online courses trail considerably behind those in face-to-face courses. In order to gain insight into why this might be, the Community College Research Center (CCRC) undertook a series of studies that examined 23 high-demand, entry-level online courses at two community colleges in one state. CCRC researchers observed the online…

Impact of Giving Students a Choice of Homework Assignments in an Introductory Computer Science Class
Fulton, Steven; Schweitzer, Dino – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2011
Student assignments have long been an integral part of many university level computer science courses to reinforce material covered in class with practical exercises. For years, researchers have studied ways to improve such student assignments by making them more interesting, applicable, and valuable to the student with a goal of improving…
