Abdulkadir Palanci; Rabia Meryem Yilmaz; Zeynep Turan – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
This study aims to reveal the main trends and findings of the studies examining the use of learning analytics in distance education. For this purpose, journal articles indexed in the SSCI index in the Web of Science database were reviewed, and a total of 400 journal articles were analysed within the scope of this study. The systematic review…

Commeford, Kelley; Brewe, Eric; Traxler, Adrienne – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
The vast majority of research involving active learning pedagogies uses passive lecture methods as a baseline. We propose to move beyond such comparisons to understand the mechanisms that make different active learning styles unique. Here, we use COPUS observations to record student and instructor activities in six known styles of active learning…

Julia Koron; Sarah Gallant; Page Spiess – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
In 1996, the Chemistry Department at Norwich University converted its two-semester General Chemistry course from a traditional lecture to a Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) classroom. The change to POGIL teaching in Norwich General Chemistry classes was brought about by a steady decline in student performance, as demonstrated by…

Bornn, Luke; Mortensen, Jacob; Ahrensmeier, Daria – Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2022
This paper presents a novel design for an upper-level undergraduate statistics course structured around data rather than methods. The course is designed around curated datasets to reflect real-world data science practice and engages students in experiential and peer learning using the data science competition platform Kaggle. Peer learning is…

Man-Yin Tsang; Lisa Tutty; Carl-Georg Bank – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
Quantitative reasoning, although included in most science courses, can be challenging to teach. In this article, we explore whether cooperative learning may help instructors teach quantitative reasoning and enhance students' understanding and learning experience. Our lesson was taught in a large introductory geoscience course. The lesson required…

Peng, Hongying; Lowie, Wander; Jager, Sake – Applied Linguistics, 2022
Learners' self-initiated language learning with mobile technology occurring outside the classroom is often contextualized, heterogeneous, and idiosyncratic. In this study, we propose a time-series clustering methodology for researching informal mobile language learners' learning and development of another language, with a view to unravelling the…

Scott, Pamela H.; Veitch, Nicola J.; Gadegaard, Helen; Mughal, Muhammad; Norman, Gethin; Welsh, Michelle – Journal of Biological Education, 2018
Laboratories are recognised as central in science education, allowing students to consolidate knowledge and master practical skills, however, their effectiveness has been questioned. Whilst laboratory practicals are useful for students' learning of basic procedures, they have been shown to be less effective for developing conceptual understanding…

Abrams, William – PRIMUS, 2023
This paper describes a course designed to introduce students to mathematical thinking and a variety of lower level mathematics topics using baseball while satisfying the goals of quantitative reasoning. We give suggestions for sources, topics, techniques, and examples so any mathematics teacher can design such a course to fit their needs. The…

Bucknor Rodney, Camille Aretha – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic provided an opportunity to explore how different modes of learning may impact student achievement. Little research has been conducted regarding how the pandemic may have affected students' reading skills. The problem addressed in this study was that the effects of varying and inconsistent learning environments for Title I K-2…

Lyrica Lucas; Anum Khushal; Robert Mayes; Brian A. Couch; Joseph Dauer – International Journal of Science Education, 2025
Educational reform priorities such as emphasis on quantitative modelling (QM) have positioned undergraduate biology instructors as designers of QM experiences to engage students in authentic science practices that support the development of data-driven and evidence-based reasoning. Yet, little is known about how biology instructors adapt to the…

Mirriahi, Negin; Jovanovic, Jelena; Dawson, Shane; Gaševic, Dragan; Pardo, Abelardo – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2018
The rapid growth of blended and online learning models in higher education has resulted in a parallel increase in the use of audio-visual resources among students and teachers. Despite the heavy adoption of video resources, there have been few studies investigating their effect on learning processes and even less so in the context of academic…

McCubbins, O. P.; Paulsen, Thomas H.; Anderson, Ryan – Journal of Agricultural Education, 2018
While shown to be less effective than active learning strategies, traditional methods of content delivery in post-secondary classrooms are the most prominent. Flipped classrooms, an example of an active learning approach, have been shown to be effective in long-term student outcomes. Team-Based Learning (TBL), a specific application of the flipped…

Franco Valdez, Ana Dolores; Valdez Cervantes, Alfonso – Journal of Marketing Education, 2018
Building from a theoretical foundation of active learning, this article describes how using a retail laboratory in an educational curriculum can benefit both students and strategic partners. Students work alongside strategic partners, and the retail laboratory enables them to probe and design novel retailing strategies, such as launching new…

Hui, Yan Keung; Mai, Bo; Qian, Sheng; Kwok, Lam For – Open Learning, 2018
The use of flipped classrooms, blended learning environments and the application of technology has been extensively studied and reported in the literature, but the impact of learning activity design on cultivating better learning attitudes has rarely been explored. A rapid adoption of 'e-schoolbag' in basic education in China has been observed in…
