McElearney, Patrick – Communication Teacher, 2023
Undergraduate courses on small-group communication often cover group roles, group conflict, and conflict management styles. Although these concepts are valuable to learn, merely memorizing them does not address the practical skills students need to employ conflict management strategies when situated in group conflict. This activity provides a…

Loay Al-Salehi; Agnes G. d'Entremont; Teija K. Yli-Renko – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2025
While team learning within engineering classrooms has been studied, minimal work has been done examining out-of-classroom collaboration to complete individual deliverables. However, such informal peer collaboration (IPC) is common among engineering undergraduates, and some evidence exists that low levels of IPC are associated with poorer learning…

Cara E. Schwarz – ProQuest LLC, 2024
My thesis work is focused on conceptual and epistemic learning and characterizing the environments in which this learning takes place. Earlier studies conducted by the Stowe group explored how instructional practices, instructional emphasis, and assessment emphasis relate to student outcomes in general and organic chemistry courses. Student…

Breen, Sinéad; O'Shea, Ann – PRIMUS, 2019
Research has shown that the types of tasks assigned to students affect their learning. Various authors have described desirable features of mathematical tasks or of the activity they initiate. Others have suggested task taxonomies that might be used in classifying mathematical tasks. Drawing on this literature, we propose a set of task types that…

Krouss, Paul; Lesseig, Kristin – PRIMUS, 2020
Introductory and remedial courses in college mathematics often serve as a gateway to student success. However, these university courses have seen little innovation despite historically low success rates. We sought to address deficits of the traditional lecture model and enhance student learning in an introductory college algebra course through the…

Lin, Chun-Yu; Huang, Chung-Kai – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2020
Due to the competitive and rapidly changing nature of the external business environment, university students must acquire the ability to cooperate, share knowledge, and enhance team effectiveness and learning in the workplaces of the future. Consequently, the design of business courses in higher education merits further discussion. Based on the…

Dees, Jonathan; Bussard, Caitlin; Momsen, Jennifer L. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2018
Phylogenetic trees have become increasingly important across the life sciences, and as a result, learning to interpret and reason from these diagrams is now an essential component of biology education. Unfortunately, students often struggle to understand phylogenetic trees. Style (i.e., diagonal or bracket) is one factor that has been observed to…

Kolpikova, Elena P.; Chen, Derek C.; Doherty, Jennifer H. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2019
Preclass reading quizzes (RQs) have been shown to enhance student performance. Many instructors implementing evidence-based teaching assign preclass RQs to ensure their students are prepared to engage in class activities. Textbook companies now offer a gamified, adaptive-learning RQ format. In these RQs, students answer point-valued questions…

Guerrero, Tricia A.; Griffin, Thomas D.; Wiley, Jennifer – Grantee Submission, 2020
The Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) learning cycle improves understanding of the connection between empirical results and theoretical concepts when students engage in hands-on experimentation. This study explored whether training students to use a POE strategy when learning from social science texts that describe theories and experimental results…

Çakiroglu, Ünal; Kiliç, Servet – E-Learning and Digital Media, 2018
Participation in synchronous online learning is an increasing need for students' learning outcomes. Teachers generally cannot be sure about the fact that students who are seen in the participation lists are really following the online tasks. Recent studies have shown that gamification can be an effective way to support learners' participation in…

Neves, Ben-Hur S.; Altermann, Caroline; Gonçalves, Rithiele; Lara, Marcus Vinícius; Mello-Carpes, Pâmela B. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2017
Different tools have been used to facilitate the teaching and learning process in different areas of knowledge. Practical activities represent a form of teaching in which students not only listen to theoretical concepts but are also able to link theory and practice, and their importance in the biological sciences is notable. Sometimes, however,…

Thongmak, Mathupayas – Education for Information, 2019
Higher education enrollment has declined recently. New recruiting strategies and student-centered learning environments with challenge, enthusiasm, and joy are required to boost enrollment and engagement. Thus, the student-centered teaching approach, which one of the approaches under implementation and observation, are increasingly needed.…

Broeckelman-Post, Melissa A.; MacArthur, Brenda L. – Journalism and Mass Communication Educator, 2018
The goal of this study was to better understand what students expect from their college instructors in four areas: availability for out-of-class communication (OCC), student workload, in-class time use, and technology policies. Data from 606 participants were collected using an online survey design. Results showed that students' expectations for…
