Direct linkBarron J. Montgomery; Argenta M. Price; Carl E. Wieman – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
A major goal of physics education is to develop strong problem-solving skills for students. To become expert problem solvers, students must have opportunities to deliberately practice those skills. In this work, we adopt a previously described definition of problem solving that consists of a set of 29 decisions made by expert scientists. We…

Anderson; Chelsie Romulo – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2024
Interdisciplinary environmental and sustainability (IES) programs are different from other fields because they focus on a complex integration of humanities, social, and natural sciences concepts centered on the interactions of coupled human and natural systems. The interdisciplinary nature of IES programs does not lend itself to traditional…

Avi J. Cohen – Journal of Economic Education, 2024
Using the backward design model, the author of this article surveys and connects the economic competencies literature evolving from Hansen with the literature on literacy-targeted principles courses. He makes the case why departments should offer LT principles courses--which focus on higher-level mastery of a shorter list of concepts that students…

Lipnevich, Anastasiya A.; Panadero, Ernesto; Gjicali, Kalina; Fraile, Juan – Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability, 2021
This study examined differences in the assessment criteria used by the USA and Spanish university instructors to assign course grades. The US sample included two hundred and fifty course syllabi (159 from universities and 91 from 4-year colleges) developed by randomly selected instructors from five academic disciplines (education, math, science,…

A Review of the Inquiry and Utility of Mineral and Rock Labs for Use in Introductory Geology Courses
Meryssa Piper; Jessica Frankle; Sophia Owens; Blake Stubbins; Lancen Tully; Katherine Ryker – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2025
Rock and mineral labs are fundamental in traditional introductory geology courses. Successful implementation of these lab activities provides students opportunities to apply content knowledge. Inquiry-based instruction may be one way to increase student success. Prior examination of published STEM labs indicates that geology labs, particularly…

Download full textMorreale, Sherwyn P. – Journal of Communication Pedagogy, 2020
Researchers have conducted surveys of the introductory communication course for more than 60 years, starting with two seminal studies in 1956 and 1965, followed by a series of nine replicative studies extending from 1970 to 2016. This systematic review examines the results from those 11 surveys. The results of that review are presented here,…

Getchell, Kristen; Dubinsky, James; Lentz, Paula – Journal of Management Education, 2023
Shannon and Weaver's communication process model is a dominant model used to understand communication between a sender and receiver. The model is used to explain communication in management and organizational behavior textbooks. Despite its proliferation, few studies have examined this model's role in introductory management and organization…

Bartels, Jared M.; Schoenrade, Patricia – Psychology Learning and Teaching, 2022
The Implicit Association Test (IAT) has been widely discussed as a potential measure of "implicit bias." Yet the IAT is controversial; research suggests that it is far from clear precisely what the instrument measures, and it does not appear to be a strong predictor of behavior. The presentation of this topic in Introductory Psychology…

Omer, Uzma; Tehseen, Rabia; Farooq, Muhammad Shoaib; Abid, Adnan – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Learning analytics (LA) is a significant field of study to examine and identify difficulties the novice programmers face while learning how to program. Despite producing notable research by the community in the specified area, rare work is observed to synthesize these research efforts and discover the dimensions that guide the future research of…

LeFebvre, Luke; LeFebvre, Leah E. – Communication Education, 2020
The history of the academic discipline of communication and the subsequent departments that followed are linked in some form or fashion to the evolution of the introductory communication course. Given the prominence and continued relevance of the introductory course in the communication discipline, researchers have conducted surveys for over 60…

Sharmin, Sadia – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2022
Computer science is a fast-growing field in today's digitized age, and working in this industry often requires creativity and innovative thought. An issue within computer science education, however, is that large introductory programming courses often involve little opportunity for creative thinking within coursework. The undergraduate…

Beth Chance; Andrew Kerr; Jett Palmer – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2024
While many instructors are aware of the "Literary Digest" 1936 poll as an example of biased sampling methods, this article details potential further explorations for the "Digest's" 1924-1936 quadrennial U.S. presidential election polls. Potential activities range from lessons in data acquisition, cleaning, and validation, to…

Dayna Jean DeFeo; Sarah Gerken; Trang C. Tran; Dmitry Khodyakov; Arlene Fink – Discover Education, 2025
Introductory biology courses at most colleges and universities have two components: a lecture and a lab. However, for students who are not majoring in biology and taking the introductory course as part of their general education requirements, the distinct role of the lab has not been clearly articulated. We performed an online modified-Delphi…

Barbosa Rocha, Hemilis Joyse; Cabral De Azevedo Restelli Tedesco, Patrícia; De Barros Costa, Evandro – Informatics in Education, 2023
In programming problem solving activities, sometimes, students need feedback to progress in the course, being positively affected by the received feedback. This paper presents an overview of the state of the art and practice of the feedback approaches on introductory programming. To this end, we have carried out a systematic literature mapping to…
