Gwo-Haur Hwang; Beyin Chen; Shih-Pei Chen – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
This study proposed a game-based flipped teaching approach and applied it to a HTML (HyperText Markup Language) course. We developed two versions of the pre-class content testing, one of which was game-based, using a "looking-through" game, and the other which was traditional, using a multiple-choice test. We conducted a teaching…

Troussas, Christos; Krouska, Akrivi; Sgouropoulou, Cleo – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2021
Contribution: This article presents the instruction of computer programming using adaptive learning activities considering students' cognitive skills based on the learning theory of the Revised Bloom Taxonomy (RBT). To achieve this, the system converts students' knowledge level to fuzzy weights, and using rule-based decision making, delivers…

Guzman, Laura Melissa; Pennell, Matthew W.; Nikelski, Ellen; Srivastava, Diane S. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2019
Biostatistics courses are integral to many undergraduate biology programs. Such courses have often been taught using point-and-click software, but these programs are now seldom used by researchers or professional biologists. Instead, biology professionals typically use programming languages, such as R, which are better suited to analyzing complex…

Kolfschoten, Gwendolyn; Lukosch, Stephan; Verbraeck, Alexander; Valentin, Edwin; de Vreede, Gert-Jan – Computers & Education, 2010
Nowadays we need to teach students how to become flexible problem solvers in a dynamic world. The pace in which technology changes and complexity increases requires increased efficiency in learning and understanding. This requires the engineers of tomorrow to quickly gain knowledge and insight outside their prime area of expertise. To transfer…

Naidoo, N.; Naidoo, R. – Journal of College Teaching & Learning, 2007
Primary school learners' first encounters with mathematics in a traditional learning environment often create lifelong "math phobia."(Papert 1980) The situation in a country emerging from an oppressive education system designed to educationally disempower the majority of the population is much worse. The typical scenario in a previously…
