Weiss, Valerie; Sillevis, Rob; Reuter, Peter – HAPS Educator, 2021
Anatomy and physiology lectures, traditionally held face-to-face at Florida Gulf Coast University, moved overnight to an online environment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Reflecting back on our teaching experience, a few goals to successful Zoom-based teaching emerged: make meaningful connections with the students, stay connected with students by…

Alanzi, Awad Ali – Journal of Education and e-Learning Research, 2020
The model of any type of education is very important for learning and every type of learning requires a different approach. This research explores the Socratic method, the Case Method, the Problem-Based Method, Clinical Legal Education and Lecture Approach for legal education. It also discusses the merits and demerits of each educational model in…

Kääntä, Leila; Kasper, Gabriele – Classroom Discourse, 2018
Using multimodal conversation analysis, this article examines how students strive to resolve non-understandings through requests for clarification during teacher-fronted physics lectures taught in English in Finland. The findings provide new insights on the sequential environments in which students launch the requests (i.e. between or during…

O'Shea, Ann; Breen, Sinead; Meehan, Maria – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2018
We report on a study of decision-making in mathematics lectures. The data comes from accounts of classroom incidents written over two academic years by three university mathematics lecturers who set out to reflect on, and improve, their practice by collectively engaging in a professional development project using Mason's Discipline of Noticing.…

Cowan, John – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2020
This article traces and critically analyses a personal journey in search of effective ways to promote exemplary questioning on the part of students. The article is in many ways a polemic rather than a scientific study, which emerges as much from the 1970s and the writings of Carl Rogers as from the second decade of the twenty-first century with…

Clyde Freeman Herreid – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2015
A case that reads well on paper can absolutely fail in the classroom unless the faculty member is up to the task. This article focuses on why the teaching notes are vital to the success of a case, and how they are often more difficult to write then the case story itself. It is in the notes that the reader can see what the writer was trying to do.…

Soiferman, L. Karen – Online Submission, 2019
Getting students to ask questions in class, about the content, can be a difficult undertaking especially once students get to university. The nature of the lecture format makes it problematic for students as they often feel like they can't ask questions. When children are small they ask questions all the time. Sometimes we get tired of them asking…

Kramar, Natalia – Advanced Education, 2019
The paper presents an analysis of engagement markers in the Lectures on Physics by eminent scientist and Nobel prizewinner R. P. Feynman, based on K. Hyland's model of interaction in academic discourse as stance and engagement. The Lectures were taught at the California Institute of Technology during 1961-63 and, having been turned into a…

Viirman, Olov – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2015
This paper investigates the teaching practices used by university mathematics teachers when lecturing, a topic within university mathematics education research which is gaining an increasing interest. In the study, a view of mathematics teaching as a discursive practice is taken, and Sfard's commognitive framework is used to investigate the…

Huang, Yueh-Min; Liu, Ming-Chi; Lai, Chia-Hung; Liu, Chia-Ju – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2017
Teachers often use in-class questions to examine the level of understanding of their students, while these also enable students to reorganize their acquired knowledge. However, previous studies have shown that students may resist being questioned because of negative emotions. Therefore, this paper proposes the idea of eliciting positive emotions…

Akinde, Oluwatoyin Adenike – Educational Research and Reviews, 2015
This work is a pilot study on the learning outcomes of students, who were taught a research course for seven weeks, using didactic and Socratic instruction methods. The course was taught in two sessions concurrently. The students were divided into two groups (A and B) and both groups were taught either with Socratic instruction method or didactic…
