Davidson, Ashley B.; Addison, Christopher J.; Charbonneau, James – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2022
Universities are recognizing the need to prepare graduates to think conceptually and have the ability to take on complex, real-world problems. Strategies to assess conceptual knowledge are limited and often require more time and effort to complete than is accessible for most undergraduate courses. Card sorting is a very broad technique for…

Wong, Michael; Al-Arnawoot, Ahmed; Hass, Katrina – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2022
In undergraduate science education, emphasis is often placed on teaching subject matter rather than science process skills (e.g., critical thinking, problem solving). Although important to scientific training, these skills are often not taught because they are challenging to teach. We therefore present a case-scenario activity that aims to…

Egan, John P. – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2020
This article examines the experiences of students after completing an online postgraduate learning technologies applications course with respect to the transfer of learning of skills, knowledges, and perspectives to their professional educational practice. Transfer of learning was perceived to have occurred with respect to overall course design…

Stone, Jeffrey A.; Cruz, Laura – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2021
Higher education has embraced integrative learning as a means of enabling students to tackle so-called "wicked" problems, i.e. problems that are sufficiently complex, contested, and ambiguous that conventional, disciplinary specific approaches are inadequate to address. However, challenges remain in defining integrative learning…

Trowsdale, Dan; McKay, Alison – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2023
The adoption of digital technologies in higher education offers new opportunities for student learning but also adds complexity to course design and development processes. Although practice varies across institutions and nations, a common response is that teams of people are now involved in the development and creation of blended and online…

Griebel, Stefanie; Thielsch, Angelika; Gibson, Paul; Beissinger, Timothy; Chiteka, Albert – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2022
Engaging students in an international online setting that is interdisciplinary and culturally diverse is a challenge. A joint classroom between German and Ugandan universities used a formative assessment approach paired with active learning elements to foster individual and peer learning in an international virtual setting. A survey at three…

Fjelkner, Annika; Hakansson, Andreas; Rosander, Pia – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2019
What do we need to know about our students to better provide for more equitable outcomes? Who will succeed depends on many factors, and student personality traits constitute one factor that has received less attention in the engagement and teaching literature. The aim of the present study is to add to discussions on teaching in higher education by…

Ferris, Jennie; Samuel, Carolyn – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2020
Professional development offerings for current and aspiring educational developers can be sparse and neither fully contextually appropriate nor personally relevant given the range of experiences people bring to the field. In the absence of suitable professionalization programs, we created a self-defined professional development approach to support…

Sturgill, Amanda; Motley, Phillip – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2014
Reflection is a key component of service learning, but research shows that in order to maximize learning, the reflection must be of high quality. This paper compares the affordances of three different models of written reflection in engendering students' higher-order thought processes. Student reflections were compared across axes of guided versus…

Drinkwater, Michael J.; Gannaway, Deanne; Sheppard, Karen; Davis, Matthew J.; Wegener, Margaret J.; Bowen, Warwick P.; Corney, Joel F. – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2014
Turning lectures into interactive, student-led question and answer sessions is known to increase learning, but enabling interaction in a large class seems an insurmountable task. This can discourage adoption of this new approach -- who has time to individualize responses, address questions from over 200 students and encourage active participation…

Bernstein, Daniel; Greenhoot, Andrea Follmer – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2014
Helping students achieve advanced critical thinking and writing skills in large undergraduate classes is a challenge faced by many university faculty members. We addressed this challenge in a three-year project using team course design, built around a cognitive apprenticeship model, to enhance undergraduates' writing, critical thinking, and…
