Patrick Kuok Kun Chu – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2025
Statistics knowledge, literacy, and skills are vital to undergraduates' academic and professional careers. Students' attitudes toward statistics play a vital role in their understanding of the importance of statistics. Therefore, it is important to examine their attitude toward statistics. This study investigated the attitude of 153 business…

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…

Janet E. Rosenbaum; Lisa C. Dierker – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2024
Self-efficacy is associated with a range of educational outcomes, including science and math degree attainment. Project-based statistics courses have the potential to increase students' math self-efficacy because projects may represent a mastery experience, but students enter courses with preexisting math self-efficacy. This study explored…

Wong, Rachel M.; Sundararajan, NarayanKripa; Adesope, Olusola O.; Nishida, Krista R. A. – Educational Psychology, 2021
Over 40 years of research, concept maps have shown that they are beneficial for learning. However, much of this research has been conducted in laboratory settings. Although there are a few studies conducted in the classroom, there is little understanding of the instructional efficacy of using different types of concept maps. In a between-subjects…

Voight, Matthew; Apkarian, Naneh; Rasmussen, Chris – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
Precalculus and single-variable calculus courses are a critical early juncture for the success of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students in the United States (US). The default course structure is often a required three-term sequence of precalculus, differential calculus, and integral calculus. In this paper we analyse…

Lui, Michelle; McEwen, Rhonda; Mullally, Martha – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2020
Educators are recognizing the potential power of immersive virtual reality (IVR) to allow learners to experience previously intangible firsthand phenomena, such as atoms and molecules. In this study, an IVR simulation of a complex gene regulation system was co-designed with an undergraduate microbiology course instructor. The course, with 234…

Khalaf, Bilal Khalid; Zin, Zuhana Mohamed; Al-Abbas, Linda S. – International Journal of Instruction, 2022
Educational societies encountered rapid development in all fields of knowledge, assisted by the invention of new technologies and development of linguistic systems. Over time, researchers contribute to design well known instructional models such as traditional-based and inquiry-based models. However, the previous literature investigations showed…

Naji, Khalid Kamal; Ebead, Usama; Al-Ali, Abdulla Khalid; Du, Xiangyun – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
Background: While improved student engagement has been highlighted as an essential goal and a major outcome of Problem and Project-Based learning (PBL), little empirical evidence has been provided regarding types and forms of student engagement. Material and method: The study explored forms of student engagement in PBL settings, drawing on…

Alt, Dorit; Naamati-Schneider, Lior – Health Education, 2022
Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected educational systems worldwide, forcing them to abruptly shift from face-to-face to online teaching and learning. This case study illustrates how a traditional lecture-based activity for undergraduate students in a Management of Health Service Organizations program was transformed into an…

Mitchell, John E.; Rogers, Lynne – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
As the introduction of active learning techniques such as project-based learning (PjBL) becomes more widespread in engineering schools, it is important to understand the implications and development needs of staff in the transition to this mode of teaching. Through a review of education literature and a structured interview process, a set of…

Hajian, Shiva; Obaid, Teeba; Jain, Misha; Nesbit, John – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2019
Instructional support is fundamental to successful implementation of Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) in various educational settings. Although research indicates that instructional support can lead to learning gain and achievement of inquiry strategies, it does not explain why the same level of guidance for students with relatively the same level of…

Kerrigan, John – College Teaching, 2018
Active learning involves students engaging with course content beyond lecture: through writing, applets, simulations, games, and more (Prince, 2004). As mathematics is often viewed as a subject area that is taught using more traditional methods (Goldsmith & Mark, 1999), there are actually many simple ways to make undergraduate mathematics…

Hauke, Elizabeth – Teaching in Higher Education, 2019
This article argues that knowledge is not a passive product of learning that can be possessed, but rather that it represents an active engagement with ideas, arguments and the world in which they reside. This engagement requires a state of 'knowing' -- a complex, integrative, reciprocal process that unites the knower with the to-be-known.…
