Ford, Robyn; Broadway, Susan; Mason, Diana – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
Contributed data reflective of students' compliance in doing electronic homework (e-HW) exercises when asked to choose when required e-HW assignments are due are evaluated using a quasi-experimental format with non-equivalent groups to determine if first-semester general chemistry (Chem I) students (N = 273) will academically benefit from improved…

Simic, Bojana; Mešic, Vanes; Ðapo, Nermin; Šapic, Iva Movre; Vidak, Andrej; Alic, Amina; Erceg, Nataša – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2023
Physics homework often boils down to solving end-of-chapter quantitative problems. For targeting different learning goals of physics education, different types of homework are needed. The aim of this research was to compare the effectiveness of simulation-based, video-based, and paper-and-pencil homework in developing an understanding about…

Daniel Gertner; Allie Brashears; Na Xu; Holly Porter-Morgan – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
Gateway science courses are an ongoing obstacle to recruitment into STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Students come into courses that have a high cognitive load, which makes success in the course challenging. Instructional design can be used to reduce cognitive load. The findings demonstrate that leveraging pre- and…

Elikplimi K. Asem – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
A 3-year study (2017-2019) was conducted to obtain the views of nonmajor undergraduate students about discussions in learning physiology. The teaching methods used were lecture only (lecture), group discussion alone (discussion), and a combination of lecture and discussion (lecture + discussion). Students were assigned homework in a textbook, and…

Doherty, Jennifer H.; Cerchiara, Jack A.; Scott, Emily E.; Jescovitch, Lauren N.; McFarland, Jenny L.; Haudek, Kevin C.; Wenderoth, Mary Pat – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
The Physiology Core Concept of flow down gradients is a major concept in physiology, as pressure gradients are the key driving force for the bulk flow of fluids in biology. However, students struggle to understand that this principle is foundational to the mechanisms governing bulk flow across diverse physiological systems (e.g., blood flow,…

Kaya, Merve; Yildirim, Fatih Serdar – Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET, 2022
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the flipped learning model (Staker & Horn, 2012), which is one of the types of rotation model in the sub-level of blended learning models, on students' understanding of the nature of science and their achievements. In the study, the mixed research method, which allows the quantitative and…

Chen, Shih-Yeh; Chen, Cyong-Huei; Liu, Shiang-Yao – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
The history of science (HOS) has played an important role in science curricula for teaching about science. However, historical information in science textbooks is often de-contextualized, coupled with limited class time and teaching barriers, and thus fails to help students understand the dynamic process of scientific development. This research…

Bush, Eliot C.; Adolph, Stephen C.; Donaldson-Matasci, Matina C.; Hur, Jae; Schulz, Danae – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2021
This paper describes an introductory biology course for undergraduates that heavily incorporates quantitative problem solving in activities and homework assignments. The course is broken up into a series of units, each organized around a motivating biological question or theme. Homework assignments address the theme or question, and typically…

Miller, Kelly; Callaghan, Kristina; McCarty, Logan S.; Deslauriers, Louis – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
We show how learning can be improved, beyond that shown in actively taught classrooms, by also transforming the homework using the principles of deliberate practice. We measure the impact of transforming the homework on student learning in a course that had already implemented an active approach to teaching in class. We compare performance on the…

Pilcher, Lynne A.; Potgieter, Marietjie; Fletcher, Lizelle – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
The logistics and cost of running large class tutorials to improve learning for students in high enrolment courses raise questions about whether the associated effort and cost are worthwhile. The option to replace these class activities with online homework with its promise of built-in feedback is attractive. Using an activity theory lens and an…

Douglas C. Pearson Jr.; Allen Easton – OTESSA Conference Proceedings, 2021
One of the core tensions in open educational practice in current mathematics and physical science coursework is the use of online homework systems. Many such tools are from commercial providers and have profit to that provider as a motive. Open resources are pursued by those who, for reasons of cost or of pedagogy, seek to resist the tools of…

Chapman, Kayla E.; Davidson, Megan E.; Liberatore, Matthew W. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2021
Student success and attempts on hundreds of online homework problems housed in a fully interactive online textbook, Material and Energy Balances zyBook, were studied over three cohorts of students (n=284). Auto-graded homework questions with randomized numbers and content can explore proficiency in the course material. Students are allowed to…

Felker, Zachary; Chen, Zhongzhou – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
We examine the effectiveness of a planning prompt intervention to reduce procrastination on online homework for college students. The intervention asked students to indicate their intention to earn small amounts of extra credit for completing assignments earlier and form a plan to realize their intentions. Students' learning behavior is measured…

Luong, Horace; Falkenberg, Thomas; Rahimian, Mahdi – Canadian Journal of Learning and Technology, 2021
The use of flipped classrooms has been gaining popularity across various disciplines as student-centered active learning pedagogy. In this study, an introductory organic chemistry course was delivered through flipped classroom methodologies, incorporating blended learning to deliver content and group work in the classroom. The learning experiences…

Linda Prentice; Gideon Twum – Teaching and Learning Excellence through Scholarship, 2021
Can a class assignment covering the reading help students do better in an introductory chemistry class for nonmajors? Two sections of the same course have been compared where one section had a reading assignment that "forced" the students to interact with the text while the other class had the typical homework, quiz assignments, and…
