Online learning systems allow learners to freely access learning contents and record their interactions throughout their engagement with the content. By using data mining techniques on the student log data of those systems, it is possible to examine learning behavior and reveal navigation patterns through learning contents. This study was aimed at…

This study tracks students' progression through developmental math sequences and defines progression as both attempting and passing each level of the sequence. A model of successful progression in developmental education was built utilizing individual-, institutional-, and developmental math-level factors. Employing step-wise logistic regression…

Maximizing student potential requires explicit (yet flexible) guidelines for tutors and advisors. Many tutors enhance student potential by utilizing an effective process known as the "The Tutoring Cycle," which promotes content knowledge and facilitates independent success (MacDonald, 2000). Similarly, when students attend advising sessions in…

We tested a theoretical model that hypothesized relationships between several variables from input, process and product in an educational setting, from the university student's perspective, using structural equation modeling. In order to carry out the analysis, we measured in sequential order the input (referring to students' personal…

Existing item response data on three achievement tests were used to compare the use of two sequential testing procedures with conventional testing for purposes of dichotomous decisions on each of the three dimensions. (Author/AG)

This study examined the interaction of selected student personality factors and teachers' comments upon students' abilities to improve in composition writing in one sequentially developed curriculum, comprised of a series of six lessons, each of which preceded an in-class composition. Subjects, 163 students in eight eleventh grade English classes…

This paper reports the findings of a study conducted on a foreign language course at a large mid-west university in the USA. In the study a web-based tool which supports both linear and non-linear learning environments was designed and developed for this course. The aim of this study was to find out students' preferences pertaining to the learning…

Designed to help bring students to greater understanding of concepts of the introduction to psychology and leadership course (see the final reports which summarize the course development project, EM 010 418, EM 010 419, and EM 010 484), this Structural Communications unit is coordinated with the instructional unit in the core course on problems in…

This guide outlines a practical six-step procedure to plan education for adult learners. The first chapter outlines the instructional planning procedure, which integrates existing knowledge about how adults learn and the principles of designing instruction and examines the principles of adult learning. The next six chapters describe the following…

IN THIS STUDY ON THE EFFECTS OF STRUCTURE AND SEQUENCE ON ADULT LEARNING, 96 ADULTS UNFAMILIAR WITH NUMBER BASES AND RANGING IN AGE FROM 23 TO 53 WERE RANDOMLY ASSIGNED TO FOUR DIFFERENTIALLY STRUCTURED INTRODUCTORY MATERIALS (HISTORY OF MEASUREMENT, BASE TEN, BASE SEVEN, OR PRINCIPLES OF NUMBER BASES) AND TO THREE DIFFERENTIALLY SEQUENCED…
