Liu, Yujuan; Raker, Jeffrey R.; Lewis, Jennifer E. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2018
Academic Motivation Scale-Chemistry (AMS-Chemistry), an instrument based on the self-determination theory, was used to evaluate students' motivation in two organic chemistry courses, where one course was primarily lecture-based and the other implemented flipped classroom and peer-led team learning (Flip-PLTL) pedagogies. Descriptive statistics…

Buhagiar, Tarek; Potter, Robert – Journal of Instructional Pedagogies, 2010
This paper investigates whether there is a difference in student learning in a quantitative business course taught through video streaming with the option of going to a face-to-face lecture, compared to the same course taught only through face-to-face lecture. This topic has been the subject of research in recent years because of the importance of…

WOODWARD, JOHN C. – 1964
TO DETERMINE WHICH TEACHING METHOD WAS MORE EFFECTIVE, STUDENT ATTITUDE AND STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT WERE COMPARED BETWEEN TELEVISION (TV) LECTURES AND DIRECT CLASS LECTURES GIVEN BY THE SAME INSTRUCTOR AND COVERING THE SAME MATERIAL. THE LECTURE GROUP (126 STUDENTS) HAD SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER NUMBERS OF UPPERCLASSMEN, AND MORE OF THE STUDENTS PLANNED…
