Paary Balakumar; Heather Fice; Samuel Richer; Tamara L. Western; Jacqueline Yao – International Journal for Students as Partners, 2024
Introductory science courses can be a struggle for instructors and students not only because of the challenging nature of the material, but also due to differences in the background knowledge of students. Provision of pre-lecture resources reviewing or introducing key concepts is recommended to support diverse students. In this paper, we describe…

Payton, Spencer – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2019
Mathematical connections are widely considered an important aspect of learning linear algebra, particularly at the introductory level. One effective strategy for teaching mathematical connections in introductory linear algebra is through inquiry-based learning (IBL). The demands of IBL instruction can make it difficult to implement such strategies…

McNicholl, T. H.; Frank, K.; Hogenson, K.; Roat, J.; Carlson, M. P. – PRIMUS, 2021
We discuss an implementation of the research-based Pathways precalculus curriculum in a large-lecture format supported by recitations, clickers, and online homework. We describe our approach to adapting the implementation of Pathways precalculus from a small class to a large lecture instructional format. We report data on student learning and…

Koretsky, Milo – Advances in Engineering Education, 2020
The shift to remote teaching with the COVID-19 pandemic has made delivery of concept-based active learning more challenging, especially in large-enrollment engineering classes. I report here a modification in the Concept Warehouse to support delivery of concept questions. The new feature allows instructors to make students' reasoning visible to…

Forsythe, Susan K. – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2018
This paper describes how a dynamic figure was used as the basis for a task designed to support students in developing the hierarchical classification of the kites and their subsets. Following on from a previous study using the task with pairs of students, I describe how I embedded the task into a pedagogical sequence of activities, which included…

Van Steenbrugge, Hendrik; Remillard, Janine; Verschaffel, Lieven; Valcke, Martin; Desoete, Annemie – Elementary School Journal, 2015
This research analyzed how fractions are taught in the fourth grade of elementary school in Flanders. Analysis centered on the presence of five features of instruction recommended by research on teaching and learning fractions (i.e., multiple solution pathways, linking representations, estimation and justification of the solution, collaboration,…

Becker, Nicole; Stanford, Courtney; Towns, Marcy; Cole, Renee – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2015
In physical chemistry classrooms, mathematical and graphical representations are critical tools for reasoning about chemical phenomena. However, there is abundant evidence that to be successful in understanding complex thermodynamics topics, students must go beyond rote mathematical problem solving in order to connect their understanding of…

Wilder, Sandra – Clearing House: A Journal of Educational Strategies, Issues and Ideas, 2015
This article aims to describe a type of formative assessment, MAP Classroom Challenge, which has been introduced in mathematics classrooms in recent years. MAP, or the Mathematics Assessment Project Classroom Challenges (formerly known as Formative Assessment Lessons), are developed by teams of math educators from the Shell Centre for Mathematical…

Smetana, Lara K.; Bell, Randy L. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2014
Studies considering whole-class use of computer simulations are limited, despite the increasing interest in this mode of use. The current study explored how a collection of computer simulations was integrated into both whole-class and small-group instructional settings during a high school chemistry unit on atomic structure. Participants included…

Rumsey, Chepina Witkowski – ProQuest LLC, 2012
The goals for this study were to investigate how fourth-grade students developed an understanding of the arithmetic properties when instruction promoted mathematical argumentation and to identify the characteristics of students' arguments. Using the emergent perspective as an overarching theoretical perspective helped distinguish between two…

Powell, Selma; Straub, Carrie; Rodriguez, Jacqueline; VanHorn, Barbara – Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2011
This research study explored the effects of the use of clicker technology as a means of formative assessment in large, college introductory psychology courses. Academic achievement, as measured by performance on tests of knowledge, was compared between students who used clickers and students that did not use clickers. There was a significant…

Pinder-Grover, Tershia; Green, Katie R.; Millunchick, Joanna Mirecki – Advances in Engineering Education, 2011
In large lecture courses, it can be challenging for instructors to address student misconceptions, supplement background knowledge, and identify ways to motivate the various interests of all students during the allotted class time. Instructors can harness instructional technology such as screencasts, recordings that capture audio narration along…
