Paige, Myela; Schauer, Anastasia; Klesmith, Zoe; Davis, Alexis; Fu, Katherine – Advances in Engineering Education, 2023
In many mechanical engineering undergraduate curriculums, there are topics that are vital to the students' future careers in the manufacturing and design workforce that are not taught in-depth. As one of those topics, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing, or GD&T, is vital to companies who develop and manufacture products because it allows…

Cara E. Schwarz – ProQuest LLC, 2024
My thesis work is focused on conceptual and epistemic learning and characterizing the environments in which this learning takes place. Earlier studies conducted by the Stowe group explored how instructional practices, instructional emphasis, and assessment emphasis relate to student outcomes in general and organic chemistry courses. Student…

Turk, Judith K. – Natural Sciences Education, 2023
Literature circles are student-led, small-group discussions that promote active learning and engagement with literary texts. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of literature circles on student engagement and learning outcomes in a pedology course. For various reading assignments throughout the semester, students either…

Zech, Steven T.; Rublee, Maria Rost; Deejay, Aleksandar; Flanik, William M. – Journal of Political Science Education, 2022
This article uses new survey data to examine student preferences and experiences with active learning among a graduate student cohort across two key identity markers: international student status and gender. Our survey of students enrolled in a Master of International Relations program suggests that most view active learning favorably and believe…

Safari, Mitra; Yazdanpanah, Behrouz; Hatamipour, Saphora – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2020
This study was conducted to compare teaching gynecology and infertility courses with both lecture and peer methods. In 2018, a quasi-experimental study was designed at the midwifery department of a state university in Iran. A total of 32 midwifery students were participated in the study. During the first eight sessions, 50% of the course content…

Andrade, Eric Francelino; Zaine Teixeira Debortoli, Gabriele; Gomes Batista, Victor Luiz; Newton Bizetto Meira de Andrade, James; Orlando, Débora Ribeiro; Rocha Lobo-Junior, Adalfredo – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Learning the physiology of the cardiovascular system can be difficult for students, but the use of active teaching methodologies can help and enhance learning. To facilitate the understanding of how the cardiovascular system works, we built a functional model for Veterinary Medicine students attending a cardiovascular physiology lecture and…

McNeal, Karen S.; Zhong, Min; Soltis, Nick A.; Doukopoulos, Lindsay; Johnson, Elijah T.; Courtney, Stephanie; Alwan, Akilah; Porch, Mallory – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2020
This study measured student engagement in real time through the use of skin biosensors, specifically galvanic skin response (GSR), in a large undergraduate lecture classroom. The study was conducted during an intervention in an introductory-level biology course (N = 420) in which one section of the course was taught with active-learning approaches…

Renee Bouley – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
In-class activities that use a collaborative learning approach were developed for a one-semester biochemistry course as a way to achieve higher student engagement. The redesign of this course from a traditional lecture to a format that incorporated a significant active learning component without reducing the amount of content is described. These…

Roberts, David – College Teaching, 2018
College and university teaching involves almost universally and hegemonically the large group lecture format. This ubiquitous learning and teaching space has, however, long been criticized for the production of passive learning in which the "sage on the stage" transmits, and students receive passively. This article reports on and…

Tawfik, Andrew A.; Hung, Woei; Giabbanelli, Philippe J. – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2020
To date, there are currently many variations of inquiry-based instruction including problem-based learning (PBL), lecture prior to problem solving, and case-based learning (CBL). While each claim to support problem-solving, they also include different levels of student-centeredness and instructor support. From an educational perspective, further…

Hancock, Emilie; Franco, Lorraine; Bagley, Spencer; Karakok, Gulden – PRIMUS, 2021
As calculus instruction moves further from lecture-based instruction toward student-centered pedagogy, support services must align with the changing goals for the course. This paper describes the work of a department as they collectively design and redesign a co-requisite Calculus I course, in an effort to better promote students' academic and…

Bauer, Angela C.; Coffield, Vernon M.; Crater, Dinene; Lyda, Todd; Segarra, Verónica A.; Suh, Kevin; Vigueira, Cynthia C.; Vigueira, Patrick A. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2020
Recent studies demonstrate that significant learning gains can be achieved when instructors take intentional steps to address the affective components of learning. While such efforts enhance the outcomes of all students, they are particularly beneficial for students from underrepresented groups and can reduce performance gaps. In the present…
