Bergey, Bradley W.; Cromley, Jennifer G.; Kaplan, Avi; Bloxton, James D., II – Journal of Experimental Education, 2023
Question generation is theorized to support comprehension, self-regulation, and achievement, yet the empirical base for whether and how student-generated questions are associated with comprehension monitoring and whether they predict performance remain open questions. To address these, we investigated the questions undergraduate students in an…

Hana Anderson; Jennifer A. Weil; Richard P. Tucker; Douglas S. Gross – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2024
The efficacy of the various pedagogies that are used in human anatomy laboratories has been extensively debated. Nevertheless, an important question remains relatively unexamined--how the learning experience in the anatomy laboratory impacts students' mastery and application of anatomical knowledge beyond the laboratory setting. In this study, the…

Arrastia-Chisholm, Meagan; Tackett, Samantha; Torres, Kelly M. – Journal of Research in Education, 2021
Case studies are a staple in teacher education, especially in introductory courses when field experiences are less common. Even though case studies are used frequently, how to use case studies effectively has not been examined in this context. This quasi-experimental study was situated in an introductory educational psychology course for education…

Kaliyaperumal, Surendheran; Abd Wahab, Mohd Helmy; Sagayam, K. Martin; Ambar, Radzi; Poad, Hazwaj Mhd – Asian Journal of University Education, 2020
Due to the increased shifts in recent technologies, the education sector has also started to reshape itself to face the future. Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are among the few recent trends that drive this shift forward. This study was set to study the impact of pairing a video lecture course with an AR presentation. A class of…

Snead, William R.; Joseph, Manjula; Capriotiti, Michael; Saminatahn, Swega; Parewa, Abhinav; Thao, Chinhuor; Belogortsev, Aleksandr – Online Submission, 2023
This research study sought to determine whether pre-reading assignments have an impact on a student's academic performance. Learning a new topic which oftentimes seems foreign is never easy. However, reading a short article or reviewing a slide-show presentation on the lecture topic before the lecture happens (otherwise known as a pre-reading…

To investigate patterns of gender-based performance gaps, we conducted a meta-analysis of published studies and unpublished data collected across 169 undergraduate biology and chemistry courses. While we did not detect an overall gender gap in performance, heterogeneity analyses suggested further analysis was warranted, so we investigated whether…

Glodowski, Kathryn; Thompson, Rachel – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2018
Guided notes covering lectures have been shown to improve note quality and increase scores on quizzes covering lecture material. We sought to determine whether guided notes would also be beneficial in helping students prepare for quizzes covering assigned readings. We evaluated the efficacy of guided notes for reading assignments on…

Asem, Elikplimi K.; Rajwa, Bartek – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
This study assessed the impact of an "active learning" strategy employed alone or in combination with traditional lectures on the learning of mammalian physiology by undergraduate students. The study investigated the impact of three teaching strategies, namely (1) traditional lecture, (2) group discussion alone, and (3) combination of…

Gopalan, Chaya – Advances in Physiology Education, 2019
Flipped teaching (FT) has caught educators' attention due to its success in engaging students through pre- and in-class activities. To learn if FT improved student performance, scores from the quizzes and exams of a fully flipped classroom with retrieval exercises were compared with those of five semesters of traditional lecture-based [unflipped…

White, Holly A.; Highfill, Lauren E. – Teaching of Psychology, 2019
The present study piloted a cognitive exercise program in a college classroom to enhance learning of lecture material. Undergraduate students enrolled in introductory psychology (N = 68) completed variations of letter-number cancelation tasks with spoken instructions in 5-min sessions prior to lecture during four nonconsecutive class periods.…
