Young-Jones, Adena; McCain, Jason; Hart, Bailey – International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, 2022
Physical activity is linked to increased motivation and academic performance, yet the majority of research has focused on elementary and high school children. The current investigation evaluated this dynamic in college students (N = 209) by introducing a physical activity break at the mid-point of a videoed lecture and were divided into four…

The last 35 years have shown a greater interest among higher education professionals to adapt the principles of active learning within the classroom.

Masland, Lindsay; Gizdarska, Simona – International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, 2018
Existing research on student acceptance of the flipped classroom in higher education is somewhat equivocal: some students appreciate the opportunities for active learning that a flipped classroom affords, whereas others expect their learning to occur via in-class lectures. The current study sought to disentangle some of these mixed results by…

Stover, Sheri; Ziswiler, Korrin – International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, 2017
Colleges and universities are beginning to invest in active learning (AL) classrooms in an effort to replace the traditional lecture style pedagogy that is frequently used by many professors in higher education (Eagan et al., 2014). This is a quantitative research study conducted at a medium-sized Midwestern university. Students were given the…

van Kol, Simone; Rietz, Christian – International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, 2016
Feedback plays an important role in supporting students' learning process. Nonetheless, providing feedback is still rather unusual in higher education. Moreover, research on the design of ideal feedback as well as its effects is rare. In order to contribute to the development of this field, a web-based feedback system was implemented in a lecture…

Brallier, Sara; Palm, Linda – International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, 2015
This study examined test performance as a function of test format (proctored versus unproctored) and course type (traditional versus distance). The participants were 246 undergraduate students who completed introductory sociology courses during four semesters at a southeastern university. During each semester, the same instructor taught a…

Downs, Colleen T.; Wilson, Amy-Leigh – International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, 2015
Large first-year class sizes have resulted in many lecturers adopting coping strategies consisting of direct-transmission mode teaching, reduced practical time, and assessment. Recently several strategies have been implemented in an attempt to improve student participation and active learning; however, these changes have to be facilitated and…

Brown, Thomas Wade; Killingsworth, Kenneth; Alavosius, Mark P. – International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, 2014
This paper describes "interteaching" as an evidence-based method of instruction. Instructors often rely on more traditional approaches, such as lectures, as means to deliver instruction. Despite high usage, these methods are ineffective at achieving desirable academic outcomes. We discuss an innovative approach to delivering instruction…

McCallum, Shelly; Schultz, Janel; Sellke, Kristen; Spartz, Jason – International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, 2015
Colleges and universities remain attentive to developing and supporting ways to foster student academic success. These efforts have taken on more importance as student success, commonly measured by student learning achievement, has failed to meet expectations. For colleges and universities, the flipped classroom represents a student-centered…

Jakee, Keith – International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, 2011
This instructional paper is intended to provide an alternative approach to developing lecture materials, including handouts and PowerPoint slides, successfully developed over several years. The principal objective is to aid in the bridging of traditional "chalk and talk" lecture approaches with more active learning techniques, especially in more…

Arkoudis, Sophie; Tran, Ly – International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, 2010
The increase in numbers of international students who have English as a second language (ESL) and are studying in English-medium universities has renewed the emphasis of English language development in higher education, particularly concerning academic writing. Much of the discussion has concentrated on developing best practices in providing…

Weller, Saranne – International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, 2009
The observation of teaching remains an integral process for the enhancement of practice as part of academic continuing professional development in higher education in the UK. This paper argues that failure to recognise the potential for peer-orientated development to reinforce restrictive norms of practice will be detrimental to the project of…

Knight, Rachael-Anne – International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, 2010
Currently little is known about how students use podcasts of exercise material (as opposed to lecture material), and whether they perceive such podcasts to be beneficial. This study aimed to assess how exercise podcasts for phonetics are used and perceived by second year speech and language therapy students. Eleven podcasts of graded phonetics…
