Beauchamp, David M.; Newton, Genevieve; Monk, Jennifer M. – International Journal of Higher Education, 2021
Maintaining scientific literacy (SL) skill development in undergraduate science education while transitioning courses from the in-person to online learning environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic requires adaptation of some teaching practices. This study assessed the effectiveness of small online learning groups as the active engagement strategy…

Adkins-Jablonsky, Sarah J.; Shaffer, Justin F.; Morris, J. Jeffrey; England, Ben; Raut, Samiksha – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
Anxiety can impact overall performance and persistence in college. Student response systems (SRSs), real-time active-learning technologies used to engage students and gauge their understanding, have been shown to elicit anxiety for some students. Kahoot! is an SRS technology that differs from others in that it involves gamification, the use of…

Quinn, Melissa M.; Smith, Theodore; Kalmar, Eileen L.; Burgoon, Jennifer M. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2018
Students learn and process information in many different ways. Learning styles are useful as they allow instructors to learn more about students, as well as aid in the development and application of useful teaching approaches and techniques. At the undergraduate level there is a noticeable lack of research on learning style preferences of students…

Fernando, Sithara Y. J. N.; Marikar, Faiz M. M. T. – Journal of Curriculum and Teaching, 2017
Evidence for the teaching involves transmission of knowledge, superiority of guided transmission is explained in the context of our knowledge, but it is also much more that. In this study we have examined General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University's cadet and civilian students' response to constructivist learning theory and participatory…

Bull, Harold; Premkumar, Kalyani; Acharibasam, Jeremiah Wezenamo – Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2020
We found that actively engaging students in our introductory microbiology course was a challenge given our large class sizes and many non-majors taking the course as a program requirement. Therefore, we introduced a novel active learning strategy to our course. Students grouped into teams of three had to create PowerPoint virtual posters on one of…

Triboni, Eduardo; Weber, Gabriel – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
Recently there has been a renewed interest in the development and use of pedagogical games, as they provide an interesting approach to the appropriation of knowledge in the context of active learning. However, most didactic games fail to completely implement a cycle of reflection and action, thereby fostering mostly lower-order thinking skills and…

Sugeng, Bambang; Suryani, Ani Wilujeng – Malaysian Journal of Learning and Instruction, 2018
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify an effective learning strategy for students to engage authentically in their learning process. This study also aims to introduce an innovative active learning approach. This is intended to enhance students' involvement and to strengthen self-confidence throughout their learning in the Financial…

Grossman, Gary D.; Simon, Troy N. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2018
We evaluated student perceptions of an inquiry-based, karaoke video exercise in six university classes ranging from first year to graduate level. Students created a 3-4 minute karaoke video on a topic relevant to class. Student responses to the project based on questionnaires and triangulation interviews were strongly positive. Students did not…

Calvo, Isidro; Cabanes, Itziar; Quesada, Jeronimo; Barambones, Oscar – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2018
This paper describes the design of an industrial informatics course, following the project-based learning methodology, and reports the experience of four academic years (from 2012-13 to 2015-16). Industrial Informatics is a compulsory course taught in the third year of the B.Sc. degree in industrial electronics and automation engineering at the…

Holton, Mark – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2017
This research, conducted with groups of undergraduate students before and after a European fieldwork exercise, critically examines the pedagogic value of fieldwork and its ability to provide students with transferable skills. This is achieved using Anderson and Erskine's lens of tropophilia--the aesthetic connection between people and place--to…

Adorno, Dominique Persano; Pizzolato, Nicola; Fazio, Claudio – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2018
This paper investigates the efficacy of an open-inquiry approach to achieve a long term stability of physics instruction. This study represents the natural continuation of a research project started four years ago when a sample of thirty engineering undergraduates, having already attended traditional university physics instruction, were involved…

Byrne, Bruce; Guy, Richard – Advances in Physiology Education, 2016
This article describes student perceptions and outcomes in relation to the use of a novel interteaching approach. The study sample (n = 260) was taken from a large human physiology class, which included both first- and second-year students. However, unlike the first-year students, the second-year students had significant prior knowledge, having…
