Rocio Ramos-Rodriguez; Maria Calle; Garis Coronell; John E. Candelo Becerra – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2024
Contribution: Team-based learning (TBL) with a transdisciplinary (TD) approach is applied in one introductory programming course with different cohorts. The approach reduces the failure rate in the course. In addition, the approach helped students understand the application of programming to different engineering professional areas. Background:…

Marcus J. Norman – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The United States lags behind other countries in science literacy at the 4th, 8th, and 12th grade levels. Subsequently, this is seen at the higher education level, especially with gateway science courses. BIO 103-General Biology I is a gateway course at Lion University. Passing this course is crucial for students to progress in several science…

Herkes, Sharon M.; Gordon-Thomson, Clare; Arnaiz, sabel A.; Muir, Meloni M.; Wardak, Dewa; King, Dane A. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
A digital mobile card-matching game called eFlip was developed to assist second-year undergraduate medical science students to learn core content and understand key associations in physiology. Our team developed customized content of core physiological associations, of increasing difficulty, for upload on a generic card-matching platform. The…

Soraya Elena Layton Jaramillo; William Ani´bal Villamil Villar; Eva Aguaded Rami´rez; Javier Carrillo Rosu´a – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Training in chemistry is essential for undergraduate medical students; however, at the National University of Colombia, basic chemistry courses are associated with high fail rates and low academic performance with regard to first semester students, especially in vulnerable special admission populations. A longitudinal study was carried out via…

Boliver, Vikki; Powell, Mandy – Perspectives: Policy and Practice in Higher Education, 2023
This paper explores how fairness was conceptualised by those responsible for admission to highly selective undergraduate courses at 17 universities in England. Fairness was conceptualised principally with reference to the traditional "meritocratic equality of opportunity" paradigm, which holds that university places should go to the most…

Block Teaching and Active Learning Improves Academic Outcomes for Disadvantaged Undergraduate Groups
Winchester, Maxwell; Klein, Rudi; Sinnayah, Puspha – Issues in Educational Research, 2021
In 2018, Victoria University adopted a new teaching delivery model, now known as the Block Teaching Model (BTM). The aim of this study focuses on how this new approach to teaching has impacted student learning and academic success, in particular for students who come from a disadvantaged background, compared with those who come from a…

Abío, Gemma; Alcañiz, Manuela; Gómez-Puig, Marta; Rubert, Glòria; Serrano, Mònica; Stoyanova, Alexandrina; Vilalta-Bufí, Montserrat – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2019
Students who have to retake courses at university are often not only low achieving, but also unmotivated and lacking in self-confidence. In this study, we present the first report of a teaching strategy based on the implementation of the flipped classroom model, team-based learning, and frequent testing strategies in groups of students retaking a…

Pardos, Zachary A.; Horodyskyj, Lev – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2019
We introduce a novel approach to visualizing temporal clickstream behaviour in the context of a degree-satisfying online course, "Habitable Worlds," offered through Arizona State University. The current practice for visualizing behaviour within a digital learning environment is to generate plots based on hand-engineered or coded features…

Putwain, David W.; von der Embse, Nathaniel P. – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2018
Teachers often communicate to students the consequences of success and failure (fear appeals) and the timing (timing reminders) of forthcoming examinations. Prior research has examined how fear appeals and teaching reminders are evaluated by students and how they relate to educational outcomes such as engagement. Few studies have addressed the use…

Johnson, William L.; Johnson, Annabel M.; Johnson, Jared W. – Online Submission, 2019
Student state testing, annual teacher evaluation, and A-to-F campus and school district rating are here. And all of these have real policy implications for every school system. With seven thousand students a day dropping out of the public schools in the United States at a rate of one student every 26 seconds, what might be done to help these…

Wagener, Bastien – College Teaching, 2016
In French universities, only one out of two students is successful in his/her first year. The drastic changes in the organization of work and the greater emphasis put on self-regulated learning (relying on metacognition) can largely explain these low success rates. In this regard, techniques have been developed to help students improve monitoring…

Borck, C. Ray – Urban Review: Issues and Ideas in Public Education, 2020
Despite persistent class and race inequalities in educational attainment and achievement in the U.S., hegemonic cultural ideologies and urban education politics and policies continue to proceed from an insistence that education is the great equalizer. These ideologies do not take into account the ways that normative school culture and pedagogical…

Duguet, Amélie; Le Mener, Marielle; Morlaix, Sophie – International Journal of Higher Education, 2016
In France, the university has been experiencing a major crisis for several decades in the form of a high rate of student failure, particularly during the "licence," or first cycle of studies. This prolonged crisis has led educational researchers to focus on the predictors of student failure in University. This paper reviews the existing…

Cummings, Chris – Research & Teaching in Developmental Education, 2016
Academic advisors see it all the time--skills successfully applied by underclassman in high school are not working in college. This article describes how advisors can help struggling students in self-monitoring and self-regulating their study experiences using metacognitive development as an intervention. Metacognition development includes…

Polikoff, Morgan S.; Petrilli, Michael J.; Loveless, Tom – Education Next, 2020
The Common Core State Standards, released in 2010, were rapidly adopted by more than 40 states. Champions maintained that these rigorous standards would transform American education, but the initiative went on to encounter a bumpy path. A decade on, what are we to make of this ambitious effort? What kind of impact, if any, has it had on the…
