Response technologies (RTs), also termed clickers or student response systems, have gained traction among researchers in classrooms in recent years. RTs encompass various interactive tools and technologies that are pivotal in modern educational settings. Numerous articles emphasize the effectiveness of RTs across multiple grades and courses.…

Quantum mechanics is notoriously challenging, and research has found that students struggle with many common difficulties when learning it. It is also proving to be a critical piece of many exciting fields that are all but assured to see great development and expansion in the coming years; the Second Quantum Revolution is upon us. Quantum…

The effectiveness of implementing various audience response system (ARS) formats in large classes to engage students, positively influence academic outcomes, and align with their preferences for different types of activities lacked sufficient information. This study aimed to (1) evaluate students' perspectives on different ARS formats, including…

The objective of the present study was to investigate whether class participation correlates with academic performance in a biochemistry and metabolism course for first-year veterinary school students. To increase engagement in this course, students had the opportunity to answer Poll Everywhere questions during many lectures in the course. These…

Mixed results have been reported on the correlation between clickers and performance. This study investigates the usage of clickers in a voluntary context to answer in-class questions in a General Chemistry class. Scores on an internal chemistry placement exam were used to estimate cognitive ability, as a factor that students can no longer…

Casadevante et al. (Curr Psychol 42: 4272-4285, 2023) used an objective test and found that regulation of response speed was related to better performance in a category learning task. The present study aims at analysing whether the relation between regulation of response speed and learning exists in an associative learning task. We developed ad…

This research intends to improve the French grammar level for Indonesian students. We carried out a quantitative method to implement gamification reinforcement in an informal cooperative learning (ICL) group. The instrument used was a questionnaire. This study uses gamification and ICL for communication tools to improve the French language's…

Gamification is increasingly used for better content assimilation. However, it is hardly used in theoretical and technical courses related to building and architecture. This study focuses on assessing the use of gamification with Kahoot! to arouse students' interest and to ease content assimilation. Experimentation was undertaken during the…

Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) is a well-established model for formative assessment, with optimization typically using expectation maximization, conjugate gradient descent, or brute force search. However, one of the flaws of existing optimization techniques for BKT models is convergence to undesirable local minima that negatively impact…

Clicker-integrated instruction is the current innovation in teaching and learning. Several studies used this technology to investigate learning processes, while others mainly used it to asses for learning, facilitation of group discussion and students' participation. All applications require creativity and analytical thinking and very much…

During teacher education programs, teacher students are expected to develop the digital competence necessary for their future roles as teachers. A vital aspect of this competence involves integrating digital tools into educational activities. Some digital tools, such as response systems, are designed and used to encourage student participation…

Web-based student response systems (SRSs) is one of the web 2.0 tools that have recently started to be used frequently by researchers and educators, with the widespread use of smartphones among students. This study aims to present a systematic review of the literature on SRS used in educational settings. With this study, teachers and researchers…

A growing body of literature on the pedagogical effectiveness of clickers in a second language (L2) context has revealed that clickers can promote learning. However, the extent to which clickers play a role in L2 acquisition compared to other pedagogical approaches lacks consensus; in addition, most research has focused on adult learners and has…

Active learning pedagogy has many documented benefits, and while several positive examples of its recent use in STEM classes have led to better performance, greater diversity, more equity, and improved retention of underrepresented student populations, more research in IS and IT classrooms is needed. Most active learning exercises are in a…

The paper analyzes the teaching experiment regarding the use of mobile apps in the assessment of student learning. The study involved survey and self-description methods offered to students and instructors to assess the effectiveness of using mobile apps in learning. The study was conducted among 320 s-year students of the I.M. Sechenov First…
