González, José Antonio; Giuliano, Mónica; Pérez, Silvia N. – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
Research on impact in student achievement of online homework systems compared to traditional methods is ambivalent. Methodological issues in the study design, besides of technological diversity, can account for this uncertainty. Hypothesis: This study aims to estimate the effect size of homework practice with exercises automatically provided by…

Armstrong, Addie – PRIMUS, 2021
Playing board games is known to improve pre-school student numeracy and many board games are used to motivate and explore concepts in probability. This study investigates whether college students in liberal arts mathematics courses assigned to play the board game "Settlers of Catan" develop a stronger grasp of basic probability concepts…

Harrison, David J.; Saito, Laurel; Markee, Nancy; Herzog, Serge – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2017
To examine the impact of a hybrid-flipped model utilising active learning techniques, the researchers inverted one section of an undergraduate fluid mechanics course, reduced seat time, and engaged in active learning sessions in the classroom. We compared this model to the traditional section on four performance measures. We employed a propensity…

Michelle, Richards-Babb; Curtis, Reagan; Ratcliff, Betsy; Roy, Abhik; Mikalik, Taylor – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
We investigated whether use of an adaptive-responsive online homework system (OHS) that tailors homework to students' prior knowledge and periodically reassesses students to promote learning through practice retrieval has inherent advantages over traditional-responsive online homework. A quasi-experimental cohort control post-test-only design with…

Ryan, Carolyn S.; Hemmes, Nancy S. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2005
Effects of the contingency for submission of homework assignments on the probability of assignment submission and on quiz grades were assessed in an undergraduate psychology course. Under an alternating treatments design, each student was assigned to a points condition for 5 of 10 quiz-related homework assignments corresponding to textbook…
