Mehta, C. Christina; Moore, Renee' H. – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2022
Collaborative statisticians are instrumental to maintaining the rigor and reproducibility of multidisciplinary projects on which they collaborate. Clear, complete, well-annotated records of data, its revising, analysis, interpretation, and presentation are essential. Many students do not know how to systematically and consistently organize their…

R. F. Malenda; S. Talbott; Scott Walck – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
In this article, we discuss Micro Assignment Guided Inquiry and Collaboration (MAGIC), an active learning method that draws on the merits of inquiry-based learning in STEM courses. We describe the use of Micro Assignments (MAs) consisting of a series of short, instructive guiding questions that scaffold the course material. Students work through…

Lai, Chun; Wen, Yun; Gao, Tian; Lin, Chin-Hsi – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2020
Despite the increasing amount of literature on the educational potential of social media for learning, little is understood about how different functions of social media might affect learning in the K-12 context, the primary school education context in particular. This study examined the effect on learning of a key function of social media-online…

Asem, Elikplimi K.; Rajwa, Bartek – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
This study assessed the impact of an "active learning" strategy employed alone or in combination with traditional lectures on the learning of mammalian physiology by undergraduate students. The study investigated the impact of three teaching strategies, namely (1) traditional lecture, (2) group discussion alone, and (3) combination of…

Ho, Janet – Innovation in Language Learning and Teaching, 2020
Flipped classrooms emphasise a learner-centred and results-oriented approach. They have been widely adopted in recent years, to enhance the effectiveness of student learning and encourage students to understand and apply new information. This approach is also regarded as a type of blended learning, given that tutors decide on the pre-class work,…

Patterson, Brian; McBride, C. Rett; Gieger, J. Lynn – PRIMUS, 2018
We explored the effectiveness of a flipped active learning pedagogy in a liberal arts mathematics course without video or interactive preparation. In both control and active learning classes, students were required to respond to a reading before class and take a quiz after class. During the active learning class, students worked together in groups…

Martin, Taylor E. – PRIMUS, 2019
My goal in crafting homework in calculus is twofold: to provide scaffolding for students to develop a theoretical understanding of calculus concepts and to incorporate good mathematical exposition, including justification and proof when appropriate. I achieve these goals by creating weekly homework sets that students work on in groups of three or…

McCollum, Brett; Morsch, Layne; Shokoples, Brandon; Skagen, Darlene – Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2019
Organic chemistry students at two universities, one in Canada and the other in the United States, connected using video conferencing software as learning partners for six online collaborative assignments. Mixed-methods analysis of interviews, surveys, and student-written reflections was used to identify barriers that students encountered during…

Roychowdhury, Hiranya S.; Gerrits, Ron; Hull, Kerry; Stowe, Skye; Jensen, Murray – HAPS Educator, 2020
In this pilot study, students in Anatomy and Physiology courses at a Southwest US Community College were assigned to groups with the instruction that they must meet outside of class time to work on course assignments throughout the semester. The assignments included exam preparation questions and case studies, but the groups could use their out of…

Chelminski, Piotr – Journal of Teaching in International Business, 2017
In this article, the author proposes an innovative, exam-based homework grading method to facilitate both collaboration among students and individual accountability while learning a complex theory and applying it to solve a problem. Results from this novel approach to grading a "comparative advantage theory" homework assignment, using an…

Kongcharoen, Chaknarin; Hwang, Wu-Yuin; Ghinea, Gheorghita – Educational Technology & Society, 2017
More studies are concentrating on using virtualization-based labs to facilitate computer or network learning concepts. Some benefits are lower hardware costs and greater flexibility in reconfiguring computer and network environments. However, few studies have investigated effective mechanisms for using virtualization fully for collaboration.…

Carroll, John M.; Jiang, Hao; Borge, Marcela – Education and Information Technologies, 2015
Teams of students in an upper-division undergraduate Usability Engineering course used a collaborative environment to carry out a series of three distributed collaborative homework assignments. Assignments were case-based analyses structured using a jigsaw design; students were provided a collaborative software environment and introduced to a…

Conway Hughston, Veronica – ProQuest LLC, 2014
Since 1996 ABET has mandated that undergraduate engineering degree granting institutions focus on learning outcomes such as professional skills (i.e. solving unstructured problems and working in teams). As a result, engineering curricula were restructured to include team based learning--including team charters. Team charters were diffused into…

Roy, Debopriyo – Cogent Education, 2017
Task-based language learning (TBLL) has heavily influenced syllabus design, classroom teaching, and learner assessment in a foreign or second language teaching context. In this English as foreign language (EFL) learning environment, the paper discussed an innovative language learning pedagogy based on design education and technical writing. In…

Jaafar, Reem – Journal of College Teaching & Learning, 2015
Students taking developmental mathematics courses resist attempting word problems when they are presented to them. Although word problems can help students contextualize learning, develop better understanding of the concepts and apply world knowledge, they constitute an impediment to students' progress in developmental mathematics courses. A…
