Optimizing the workload of university students is important for their academic performance and student experience. Large perceived workloads are associated with poorer academic performance and lower student satisfaction in university students. In response to student feedback in 2021, we redesigned a second-year undergraduate physiology subject to…

Muhammed K. V.; Mercian Gloria Vivera – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
This study assessed the efficacy of the spaced learning method compared to the activity-oriented method in improving chemistry achievement among high school students, focusing on different cognitive domains. An experimental design involving pre and post-test control groups was employed, with 106 students from two schools participating. The…

Due to the increased use of scientific models and modelling in K-12 education, there is a need to uncover its effects on students over time. Prior research has shown that the use of scientific modelling in K-12 classes is associated with improved conceptual knowledge and problem-solving skills. However, few studies have explicitly tested the…

Achuthan, Krishnashree; Raghavan, Dhananjay; Shankar, Balakrishnan; Francis, Saneesh P.; Kolil, Vysakh Kani – International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education, 2021
Access and personalized instruction required for laboratory education can be highly compromised due to regulatory constraints in times such as COVID-19 pandemic or resource shortages at other times. This directly impacts the student engagement and immersion that are necessary for conceptual and procedural understanding for scientific…

Alston, Daniel M.; Marshall, Jeff C.; Smart, Julie B. – Science Educator, 2020
In the United States, reform movements have been a part of the science education community for decades. Inquiry-based instruction has a long history in reform documents and while it is not explicitly used in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), the underlying tenants of this instructional strategy are still evident. Thus, inquiry-based…

Aronne, Luciana; Nagle, Courtney; Styers, Jodie L.; Combs, Adam; George, J. Andrew – Electronic Journal of Science Education, 2019
This study examines the effectiveness of pre-laboratory presentations in an undergraduate general chemistry laboratory using two different modes of delivery: a traditional lecture versus an in-class video presentation. It was anticipated that implementation of videos could result in improved laboratory efficiency, safety, and necessary technical…

Barmaki, Roghayeh; Yu, Kevin; Pearlman, Rebecca; Shingles, Richard; Bork, Felix; Osgood, Greg M.; Navab, Nassir – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2019
Students in undergraduate premedical anatomy courses may experience suboptimal and superficial learning experiences due to large class sizes, passive lecture styles, and difficult-to-master concepts. This study introduces an innovative, hands-on activity for human musculoskeletal system education with the aim of improving students' level of…

R. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2014
There is widespread agreement that science, technology, engineering, and mathematics programs should provide undergraduates with research experience. Practical issues and limited resources, however, make this a challenge. We have developed a bioinformatics project that provides a course-based research experience for students at a diverse group of…

Allen, Gregory; Guzman-Alvarez, Alberto; Smith, Amy; Gamage, Alan; Molinaro, Marco; Larsen, Delmar S. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2015
Open educational resources (OERs) provide a potential alternative to costly textbooks and can allow content to be edited and adapted to a variety of classroom environments. At the University of California, Davis, the OER "ChemWiki" project, as part of the greater STEMWiki Hyperlibrary, was developed to supplant traditional post-secondary…

Kopp, Kristopher J.; Britt, M. Anne; Millis, Keith; Graesser, Arthur C. – Learning and Instruction, 2012
The current studies investigated the efficient use of dialogue in intelligent tutoring systems that use natural language interaction. Such dialogues can be relatively time-consuming. This work addresses the question of how much dialogue is needed to produce significant learning gains. In Experiment 1, a full dialogue condition and a read-only…

Ajaja, Patrick Osawaru – International Education Studies, 2013
The intention of this study was to determine how science instructors in the university laboratories spend time on instruction. The study, was guided by three research questions and two hypotheses tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study employed a non-participant observation case study design. 48 instructors teaching lower and higher levels…

Coleman, Iain P. L.; Watts, Adam S. – Bioscience Education e-Journal, 2007
Pharmacology is taught on a dedicated module for nurse prescribers who have a limited physical science background. To facilitate learning a problem-based approach was adopted. However, to enhance students' knowledge of drug action a PharmaCALogy software package from the British Pharmacological Society was used. Students were alternately given a…
