This study exploits a natural experiment to establish the equivalence and/or difference in student learning outcomes between online and face-to-face public and nonprofit administration courses. Its main contribution is thus methodological. We will reexamine the online v. classroom debate - the face-to-face lecture is still the most effective…

Small group interactions and interactions with near-peer instructors such as learning assistants serve as fertile opportunities for student learning in undergraduate active learning classrooms. To understand what students take away from these interactions, we need to understand how and what they learn during the moment of their interaction. This…

This quantitative, cross-sectional research investigated the perceptions of engagement from undergraduate Business Department students at one, private, Mid-Atlantic higher education institution. To mitigate the risks of declining enrollment and retention, appropriate levels of positive student engagement are necessary for higher education…

Purpose: This qualitative case study examined students' interpretations of their physical activity (PA) experiences within in-person and online physical education and how that influenced their PA self-efficacy.

Most higher education institutions in the UK now offer some form of additional individual support for mathematics and statistics. Whilst numerous studies have shown mathematics support can improve grades and reduce failure rates, there is a lack of research on other outcomes of interest such as anxiety or confidence, and very little research…

The difficulties college-level math instructors encountered switching from a traditional to an online classroom during the COVID-19 pandemic were the main topic of this study.
