Clayborn, Jaeson; Medina, Miles; O'Brien, George – Applied Environmental Education and Communication, 2017
To evaluate the willingness of teachers to incorporate aquaponics in the classroom, we engaged teachers in a 6-week project. Participants in the experimental group maintained small-scale aquaponic systems. All teachers completed pretests and posttests, and exit surveys. Both groups (experimental and control) scored significantly higher on the…

Pale, Joseph W. – Journal of Education and Practice, 2016
Teacher based is the usual instructional method used by most teachers in high school. Traditionally, teachers direct the learning and students work individually and assume a receptive role in their education. Student based learning approach is an instructional use of small groups of students working together to accomplish shared goals to increase…

Cooper, Darren; Higgins, Steve; Beckmann, Nadin – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2017
Online instructional videos are becoming increasingly common within education. This study adopts a quasi-experimental 2 × 2 crossover design (control and experimental groups) to evaluate the efficacy of instructional videos to teach practical rehabilitation skills. The students performed practical sessions in class and were formatively assessed by…

Koparan, Timur; Yilmaz, Gül Kaleli – Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2015
The effect of simulation-based probability teaching on the prospective teachers' inference skills has been examined with this research. In line with this purpose, it has been aimed to examine the design, implementation and efficiency of a learning environment for experimental probability. Activities were built on modeling, simulation and the…

Durkin, Kelley – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2011
Most people would agree that helping students learn new information is important; however, there are numerous methods for achieving this goal, and not all of them have been proven to be effective. One method with intuitive appeal and some empirical backing is prompting students to self-explain. A self-explanation can be defined as generating…

Connelly, Brian S.; Sackett, Paul R.; Waters, Shonna D. – Personnel Psychology, 2013
Organizational and applied sciences have long struggled with improving causal inference in quasi-experiments. We introduce organizational researchers to propensity scoring, a statistical technique that has become popular in other applied sciences as a means for improving internal validity. Propensity scoring statistically models how individuals in…

Busadee, Nutjira; Laosinchai, Parames; Panijpan, Bhinyo – Mathematics Teacher, 2011
Today's students demand that their lessons be real, interesting, relevant, and manageable. Mathematics is one subject that eludes many students partly because its traditional presentation lacks those elements that encourage students to learn. Easy accessibility through electronic media has exposed people all over the world to a variety of sports…

Griffiths, Barry J.; Haciomeroglu, Erhan Selcuk – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2014
To ensure the competitiveness of the USA in the global economy, and its role as a leader in science and engineering, it is important to cultivate the next generation of home grown mathematicians. However, while universities across the USA offer calculus classes to thousands of undergraduate students each year, very few of them go on to major in…

Tan, Choo-Kim; Harji, Madhubala Bava; Lau, Siong-Hoe – Computers & Education, 2011
Although a plethora of research evidence highlights positive and significant outcomes of the incorporation of the Graphing Calculator (GC) in mathematics education, its use in the teaching and learning process appears to be limited. The obvious need to revisit the teaching and learning of Probability has resulted in this study, i.e. to incorporate…
