Hamilton, Hannah R.; Mallett, Robyn K. – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2023
One-minute papers allow students to process what they learned during class and improve student performance. However, this activity can become monotonous and takes significantly longer than the name implies. The research described here tests the effectiveness of a briefer, more flexible version of this technique to increase the perceived relevance…

Väyrynen, Karin; Lutovac, Sonja; Kaasila, Raimo – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2023
Previous research has emphasized both the importance of giving and receiving peer feedback for the purpose of active learning, as well as of university students' engagement in reflection to improve learning outcomes. However, requiring students to explicitly reflect on peer reviewing is an understudied learning activity in higher education that…

Evelina Jaleniauskiene; Dalia Venckiene – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2025
The ideas of project-based language learning (PBLL) align well with the action-oriented approach, which is considered a promising approach in language education (Piccardo & North, 2019). In this study, we carried out the scoping review of empirical research articles describing the implementation of PBLL in higher education during the period…

Nomdo, Gideon; Hunma, Aditi; Samson, Sean – Education as Change, 2021
The scholarship of teaching and learning recognises the important interrelationship between teaching and learning, and it values critical dialogues on teaching-learning praxis beyond local contexts. This focus shifts attention from research outputs drawing on student behaviour to a broader focus on teacher-learner mutuality, disciplinary…

Kelsey Hall; Katherine Starzec – Journal on Empowering Teaching Excellence, 2024
The interrupted case study is a structured way to engage students in active learning. Interruptions, or pauses for reflection and discussion scheduled within the case-study presentation, provide students with a chance to collaborate and engage in critical thinking. Critical thinking style, which is a measure of how one tends to think critically,…

Yuqin Yang; Carol K. K. Chan; Gaoxia Zhu; Yuyao Tong; Daner Sun – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2024
Knowledge building (KB) competencies are crucial for undergraduates' creative knowledge work and academic success. While there is substantial research on KB discourse, there are limited efforts in examining how KB competencies in the conceptual, metacognitive, socio-emotional, and epistemic dimensions are demonstrated in KB discourse and how the…

Kirkwood-Watts, Dana L.; Bremers, Emily K.; Robinson, Emily A.; Brazeal, Kathleen R.; Couch, Brian A. – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2022
Clicker questions are a commonly used active learning technique that stimulates student interactions to help advance understanding of key concepts. Clicker questions are often administered with an initial vote, peer discussion, and a second vote, followed by broader classroom explanation. While clickers can promote learning, some studies have…

Moreno, Rhia – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2021
Study abroad (SA) is often equated to cultural learning, which is problematic when culture is presented as a fixed concept free of context. To challenge cultural labeling and develop students' critical consciousness, this study implemented an arts-based inquiry intervention within a United States (US) SA program in Italy. Using a Deweyan…

Jennifer Pi; Christopher Davis; Yasmeen Baki; Alessandra Pantano – PRIMUS, 2024
We discuss two proof evaluation activities meant to promote the acquisition of learning behaviors of professional mathematics within an introductory undergraduate proof-writing course. These learning behaviors include the ability to read and discuss mathematics critically, reach a consensus on correctness and clarity as a group, and verbalize what…

John Brown – Peter Lang Publishing Group, 2024
Education is naturally transformative, but the acquisition of new skills and construction of new knowledge are only possible when we empower students instead of forcing their conformity. Our current compliance-based teaching methodologies rely on coercion, conditioning and external motivators that engender submission and fear in students and…

Lachowsky, Nathan John; Murray, Jacqueline – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2021
Problem-based or Enquiry-based learning is recognized as a transformative pedagogy, but there is a paucity of research examining group processing, a critical component of this pedagogy. Group processing is a structured approach to peer- and self-assessment that encourages learning that is both self-reflective and collaborative. Students develop…

Rowland, Susan; Gannaway, Deanne; Pedwell, Rhianna; Adams, Peter; Evans, Robyn; Bonner, Hailey; Wong, Kai Sheng – Higher Education Research and Development, 2020
Recent focus on graduate employability has exposed the inadequacies of work preparation for science students, who need an employability toolkit to navigate the modern work landscape. An established mechanism to develop students' employment awareness is Work Integrated Learning (WIL), but Australian mathematics and science students participate in…

A variety of research studies reveal the advantages of actively engaging students in the learning process through collaborative work in the classroom. However, the complex nature of the learning environment in large college general chemistry courses makes it challenging to identify the different factors that affect students' cognitive and social…

Fitzpatrick, Alexa; Andreopoulos, Stavroula; Freedman, Leora – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
Many large, undergraduate science courses, which still heavily rely on traditional lecture-based dissemination of content, passive learning, and exam-based assessments, have been forced online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To address the challenges facing students in regards to engagement, self-directed learning, and the development of soft…
