Richards, K. Andrew R.; Velasquez, Juan D. – Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, 2014
Constructivist approaches to education embrace students' prior learning experiences and preference for learning in social environments. However, many postsecondary classes continue to embrace lecture-styles of teaching. This study sought to understand first-year students' perceptions of the mistakes instructors make in large lecture classes.…
