The purpose of this comparative study was to determine if and to what extent there was a statistically significance difference in college students' motivation--amotivation, external regulation, introjection, identification, intrinsic motivation--to learn Algebra I between in-person instruction and online instruction in Central Arizona. The theory…

Typically, departments and universities evaluate and/or provide feedback to college mathematics instructors on their teaching by conducting classroom observations. When these observations are guided by an observation protocol, the protocol provides a particular lens that focuses the observer's attention on certain aspects of instruction. To…

In the 21st century, teaching and learning mathematics courses witness significant expansion and development of technology use, which creates a shift from teacher-centred to student-centred learning engagement. Student engagement (SE) faces many challenges of poor performance and student difficulty in solving simultaneous equations involving…

Corequisite developmental mathematics is an instructional model designed to support underprepared college students in completing their gateway math requirements. A transition to this model typically requires changes in pedagogy and a commitment to the integration of learning support with course content and instruction. This research garnered input…

This research describes the implementation of discussion-centric blended learning (DCBL) so that it can foster student HOTS (Higher-Order Thinking Skill). There were 31 students, aged 18-20 years, in the Mathematical Statistics class involved in HOTS pre-test, DCBL and HOTS post-test activities. Audio-visual video recordings, observations and…

Online collaborative learning (OCL) based on the community of inquiry (CoI) framework is often implemented in the form of an online discussion activity for teaching subjects that require learners to revise their understandings and invent ways to solve problems. However, implementing OCL is challenging due to the difficulty of fostering…

Background: With the increasing interdisciplinarity between computer science (CS) and other fields, a growing number of non-CS students are embracing programming. However, there is a gap in research concerning differences in programming learning between CS and non-CS students. Previous studies predominantly relied on outcome-based assessments,…

Out-of-class activities play a crucial role in student learning. However, student opinions on the design of these activities are rarely measured across several different classes. The purpose of this study is to understand students' preferences and attitudes towards new "Engaged Mathematics Labs" in which professors and teaching…

Technology enables innovation in teaching and learning. Extant educational research has been focused on comparison between learning platforms, namely traditional and blended learning environments. The purpose of this study examined the differences between students' performance in a Blended and traditional college course and it compared the…

The objective of this article is to explore the effectiveness of a method of teaching English as a foreign language in Indonesian higher institutions called project based Content Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) higher education institutions. The design proposed was based on the principle of language integrated learning (CLIL). Quantitative…

Contribution: The article describes an innovative concept to create authentic application examples for mathematics courses in an engineering degree program in order to illustrate the relevance of mathematics for engineering. Background: It can be difficult and time consuming for mathematics instructors to find and understand authentic…

This study examines how student and instructor participation in online discussions impacts students' course performance. The context for the study is university introductory online mathematics/statistics courses, which typically have much higher failure rates than their face-to-face counterparts. Using text-mining techniques, we analyze online…

The present review intends to show the current state of teaching quantum-related content, to analyze and compare its learning efficiency, and to give a systemized overview of quantum-educational activities in the last years. We focus on teaching and learning elements, their innovative tools, and process-oriented studies that are empirically…

Teaching Mathematics to tertiary students can be a challenge to educators, mainly because they must deal with learners' varying levels of readiness. Some of the factors attributing to the variability are learners' perceptions of mathematics, their previous learning experiences, and fear of failure. We implemented a teaching approach to facilitate…

The digitalization system that continues to roll has brought changes to the learning system, where face-to-face learning is replaced by an online system. On the one hand, learning experiences to acquire critical thinking (CT) skills as one of the essential skills of the 21st century must also be encouraged. The objective of this study is to assess…
