Leinonen, Risto; Asikainen, Mervi A.; Hirvonen, Pekka E. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2013
As has been shown by previous research, students may possess various misconceptions in the area of thermal physics. In order to help them overcome misconceptions observed prior to instruction, we implemented a one-hour lecture-based intervention in their introductory thermal physics course. The intervention was held after the conventional lectures…

Kowalski, Patricia; Taylor, Annette Kujawski – Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2011
We assessed the effectiveness of refutational readings and lecture on decreasing psychological misconceptions for students of high versus low levels of achievement. During the course of a semester we addressed introductory psychology students' misconceptions with refutational readings, refutational lecture, or not at all. From pre- and post-test…

These approaches first activate a misconception and then immediately counter it…

Drake, John R. – Journal of Information Technology Education: Innovations in Practice, 2012
Active learning has been championed in academic circles as the pedagogical fix to boring lectures typically found in introduction to information systems courses. However, the literature on active learning is mixed. In this paper, we critically examine active learning research and discover a misplaced emphasis leading to paradoxical findings in…

Rath, Kenneth A.; Peterfreund, Alan R.; Xenos, Samuel P.; Bayliss, Frank; Carnal, Nancy – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2007
Supplemental instruction classes have been shown in many studies to enhance performance in the supported courses and even to improve graduation rates. Generally, there has been little evidence of a differential impact on students from different ethnic/racial backgrounds. At San Francisco State University, however, supplemental instruction in the…
