Yingxiao Qian; Yi-Chun Hong; Michelene Chi – International Journal of STEM Education, 2024
Instructional videos have been increasingly critical to afford effective learning experiences in online courses, but most videos follow a lecturing monolog delivery format. This format tends to lead students to observe the videos passively. Previous laboratory studies have indicated that observing dialog videos of an instructor tutoring a tutee…

Luke McCrone; Martyn Kingsbury – npj Science of Learning, 2024
The move away from transmission-based lecturing toward a more student-centred active learning approach is well evidenced in STEM higher education. However, the examination of active learning has generally remained confined to formal timetabled contexts, with assumptions made that students independently manage the transition between timetabled and…

Charity N. Watson; Pablo Duran; Adam Castillo; Edgar Fuller; Geoff Potvin; Laird Kramer – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
College calculus plays an important role in STEM students' degree and career aspirations. One of the key factors considered in assessing a student's ability to be successful in calculus is their proficiency in topics from prior mathematics courses such as algebra and precalculus. This study set out to examine the impact of students' precalculus…

Amedee Marchand Martella; Darryl W. Schneider – Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2024
Interest in active learning continues to grow worldwide. Although the large volume of active learning research has provided a myriad of ways to implement active learning in the classroom, the construct remains underdeveloped and difficult to operationalize because of three main issues in the research literature: (a) the confusion surrounding what…

Daphne M. Gricoski – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Improving education, particularly for the sciences, is an important and necessary endeavor which can lead to positive social change. Education reform tends to involve updating and aligning curriculum standards without considering methodologies or teaching strategies involved. Identifying evidence-based practices to improve achievement in science,…

Patrick B. Johnson; Corinna Singleman; Jennifer Valad; Eva Fernandez; Nathalia Holtzman – College Teaching, 2025
This study examined the extent to which college algebra instructors employ pedagogical practices previously found to assist students master difficult STEM content material and address their own previous math deficits. Faculty classroom behaviors were assessed with a modified version of the Generalized Observation and Reflection Platform (GORP).…

Siddique, Faraz – ProQuest LLC, 2023
First-generation students, especially in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields, have low persistence rates. Research shows that one of the barriers to their low persistence is a need for a student-centered pedagogical approach. Research has shown that if an instructor incorporates a pause technique during a standard lecture,…

Voss, Julia; Shaghaghi, Navid; Calle, Andres Mauricio; Lee, Kristin; Abbate, Liam – Across the Disciplines, 2022
Although Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) has long focused on incorporating writing and related literacy activities into STEM education, the extent to which these pedagogies are widely used in STEM teaching remains unclear, as does their impact on student course performance, especially for underrepresented and marginalized student groups. Using…

Anthony Howcroft; Daniel King – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
Students come into the classroom with a variety of background knowledge. Therefore, it is imperative that educators are able to help all students, regardless of their familiarity with the content. Since it can be challenging for some large enrollment classes to schedule recitation classes after lectures due to logistical constraints, this study…

Quardokus Fisher, Kathleen; Koretsky, Milo D. – Higher Education Research and Development, 2021
There have been calls for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) faculty in higher education to transition from traditional lecturing to instructional practices that are supported by empirical evidence. Administrators can coordinate such transitions through organized change initiatives. At the same time, there has been a shift…

Santangelo, Jessica; Cadieux, Marissa; Zapata, Samantha – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2021
The mismatch between high school and college learning environments creates a barrier to student success in STEM majors in college. The high school learning environment relies on surface learning in which skills such as re-reading and memorizing are sufficient for academic success. The college learning environment, particularly in STEM disciplines,…

Henbest, Grace; Mortezaei, Kiana; Alvelais, Teresa; Murphy, Courtney; Eichler, Jack F. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
In an ongoing effort to increase student retention and success in the undergraduate general chemistry course sequence, a fully online preparatory chemistry course was developed and implemented at a large public research university. To gain insight about the efficacy of the online course, an observational study was carried out in which student…

Martella, Amedee Marchand; Yatcilla, Jane Kinkus; Martella, Ronald C.; Marchand-Martella, Nancy E.; Ozen, Zafer; Karatas, Tugce; Park, Helen H.; Simpson, Alexandra; Karpicke, Jeffrey D. – Review of Educational Research, 2021
When previous research is cited incorrectly, misinformation can infiltrate scientific discourse and undermine scholarly knowledge. One of the more damaging citation issues involves incorrectly citing article content (called quotation errors); therefore, investigating quotation accuracy is an important research endeavor. One field where quotation…

Evans, Tanya; Klymchuk, Sergiy; Murphy, Priscilla E. L.; Novak, Julia; Stephens, Jason; Thomas, Mike – Higher Education Research and Development, 2022
This study describes an intervention that introduced a period of solving non-routine problems into tertiary STEM lectures. The aim was twofold: to attempt to increase student engagement and to introduce them to the kind of domain-free abstract reasoning that involves critical, creative and innovative thinking. The study involved over 600 STEM…

Lunsford, Eddie; Diviney, Michael – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2020
Anatomy and Physiology should be considered a gateway course due to its challenging scope and key role as a foundational prerequisite for many degree programs. Students often encounter gateway classes early in their college career when they are academically vulnerable due to their lack of university experience. A&P teaching methods are…
