This study contributes to the service learning (SL) literature by providing new empirical evidence of learning from a problem-based SL research project conducted in a developmental research methods course. Two sections of the course taught in a traditional manner were compared to two sections of the course taught with an integrated SL project…

The flipped classroom seeks to remove didactic instruction from the classroom and deliver it via electronic videos outside of the classroom, leaving contact time free for more interactive and engaging teaching and learning activities. This paper has two distinct aims: (1) to conduct a literature review of published UK-based "flipped…

The "School Violence Survey" (SVS) was developed as an instrument to investigate students' perceptions of school environment, their experiences and interactions within diverse social groups, and their views on school violence issues including bullying. A total of 806 students across four Midwest high schools and middle schools completed…

Auto-tutorial instruction was compared to traditional lecture instruction in a university entomology course. In seven consecutive terms, undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory entomology course were divided into two groups: Group I received only lecture instruction on insect orders, while Group II was dismissed for three consecutive…

Students in an introduction to special education class were divided into four groups to investigate the effectiveness of computer assisted modules with varying highlight and question placement. Results indicated questions and highlights were superior to straight text; questions were better for objective test items; and students preferred…

Cooperation promoted stronger student perceptions of teacher academic/personal support than did individualistic learning experiences, stronger perceptions of peer academic/personal support than either competitive or individualistic learning experiences, and higher achievement than the other two conditions. Competition promoted higher achievement…

Presents a context for the study of computer-managed instruction (CMI) and reviews research in the area. Learning theory regarding individualized instruction is discussed; the role of CMI in promoting individualized instruction is examined; and studies conducted at the University of Alberta are highlighted. A chart summarizes major research…

Describes a study which compared the achievement of undergraduate economics students receiving instruction by two different television presentations, one depicting an instructor using a chalkboard, and the other employing animation and graphics.

Research evaluated captioned educational films for the deaf for possible use in classes with normal hearing slow learners. Specifically, the project sought to determine the effects of captioning on attention, vocabulary level and reading ability, using conjugate reinforcement as an evaluation procedure. The results indicated that, under certain…

This study compared the efficacy of interactive video instruction with stand-alone video instruction and computer assisted instruction (CAI) on junior high school industrial arts students' performance and attitudes. CAI and interactive video users scored higher on performance posttest than stand-alone video users; interactive video users scored…

This report summarizes the educational technology research conducted from 1990 through 1994. It is based on 133 research reviews and reports on original research projects from both published and unpublished sources. This research varied in methodology: some studies used a technique for synthesizing and analyzing data from many different studies;…

A computer-assisted instruction (CAI) project focused primarily on curriculum development in three technical areas: science, mathematics, and communication skills. The project also sought 1) to develop specific course material and methods of presentation; 2) to provide explanations of various techniques and strategies for dealing with course…
