Higher Education has serious challenges regarding academic online teaching-learning-evaluation methods and tools. This study examined 980 students from diverse disciplines about their social-emotional-psychological (SEP) perceptions. We also examined the presence and desirability of 14 TLE (teaching-learning-evaluation) tools in the online…

This paper describes a framework for educating future evaluators and users of evaluation through community-engaged, experiential learning courses and offers practical guidance about how such a class can be structured. This approach is illustrated via a reflective case narrative describing how an introductory, undergraduate class at a mid-size,…

Although assessments are a staple feature in education, student voices tend to be undervalued throughout the process. While students are a major stakeholder, this study adopted a mixed-methods strategy to examine the views of tertiary students on assessment types with regards to their preferences, self-rated performance and perceived…

Contribution: A multidisciplinary computational framework to support undergraduate engineering education is introduced. It is posed as an open-source tool that students can use to understand and apply computational methods commonly required in engineering problems. Background: This framework development is motivated by past experiences of teaching…

In the past couple of decades, the geoscience education community has made great strides toward investigating how to provide effective student learning experiences in the college setting. While experiences such as student-centered teaching strategies and course design elements are useful for the instructor, they may not make important elements of…

Quality assessment systems have recently expanded, serving as indicators for the assessment and ranking of higher education institutions worldwide. The growing development of new educational methodologies, like Blended Learning, requires the design and validation of tools that allow for their assessment. The objective of this article is to…

Evaluating a software design is an important practice of expert software designers. They spend significant time evaluating their solution, by developing an integrated mental model of the software design and the requirements. However, sufficient emphasis has not been given on teaching and learning of evaluation practices in software design courses,…

This study employs a transcendental phenomenology case study approach to explore graduate student perspectives on multimodal assessments (MMAs) within an online environment. The primary objective is to understand how these students experience and perceive MMAs. To achieve this, semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect in-depth data…

For instructors engaged in teaching evaluation, bridging the gap between the content of formal educational experiences and what we want future evaluators to be able to do in practice remains a challenge. Studying the format and quality of university courses focused on program evaluation is one mechanism through which we might begin to narrow this…

This article explores the transformation of courses among online, traditional, and hybrid modalities with a special focus on transforming an online course into a traditional classroom format. While there has been much written about transforming courses from traditional to online, especially as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has not…

Instructor leadership is widely recognized as essential for facilitating meaningful online learning in higher education. While previous studies have applied organizational leadership theories to the study of instructor leadership, fewer studies have investigated online instructor leadership. This predictive correlational study detailed the…

Traditional design education models foreground place-based learning and teaching approaches that situate educators and students together in the studio. This experience enables an engaged and participatory teaching practice in which over-the-shoulder feedback and peer-to-peer critique become essential formal and informal learning interactions.…

In recent years, higher education institutions have emphasized pedagogical practices that increase student engagement and are said to be effective. However, most of the research on 'effective' practices often do not make the distinction between what students like--or what they find "engaging"--and what practices they feel they learn…

This study aims to analyze how professionals preparing to use technology in education reflect on the phenomenon of chatbots as learning objects. The study is divided into two parts. For the first part of the study, 17 studies indexed in the Web of Science database that focus on using chatbots in education were selected for a systematic review.…

The aim of this study is to examine the views of ninth grade students about 5E-based STEM learning strategies in the atomic and periodic system unit. The research was carried out with phenomenology which is one of the qualitative research designs. Purposive sampling was used and eight students participated in the study. The data was collected…
