This paper examines the relationships between student interest, self-efficacy, and perceptions of the instructor on a set of learning outcomes that include, but are broader than, traditional measures of student learning. Consistent with the focus of positive psychology, the study focuses not only on knowledge gains but also on the flow experience…

Yang, Nan; Ghislandi, Patrizia; Dellantonio, Sara – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2018
Quality teaching in large classes is generally challenging to achieve. In large classes, there are fewer possibilities for students to interact with the teacher and with each other; the motivation to study decreases as does the possibility for receiving feedback during the learning process. This can result, among other things, in reduced…

Bolkan, San; Goodboy, Alan K.; Kelsey, Dawn M. – Communication Education, 2016
This study tested the notion that the effect of instructor clarity on learning is conditioned upon students' motivation. We randomly assigned 128 participants to a video of a clear or an unclear lecture and asked them to report their motivation to deeply process lecture material. Results indicated that even with clear instruction, test scores were…

Revell, Andrea; Wainwright, Emma – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2009
This research explores "teaching excellence" by examining the perceptions of geography academics and students at Brunel University as to what makes a lecture "unmissable". The findings from 10 interviews with lecturers and five focus groups with undergraduate students suggest that whilst there is probably no such thing as an…

White, Brian T. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2009
This paper address three questions apropos of those posed by Kadel (2006) in the context of a large introductory-level undergraduate science lecture course. These questions include how podcasting is used by professors and students, whether podcasting decreases lecture attendance, and if particular podcasting options are effective teaching tools.…

Rodger, Susan; Murray, Harry G.; Cummings, Anne L. – Teaching in Higher Education, 2007
A laboratory experiment was carried out with 120 undergraduate students to examine a possible aptitude-treatment interaction between teacher clarity and student test anxiety in relation to two outcome measures, namely student achievement and student motivation, with student intelligence statistically controlled. Students completed measures of…

Goldstein, Gary S.; Benassi, Victor A. – Research in Higher Education, 2006
To what extent do students and teachers hold similar beliefs about excellent teaching? Do differences in beliefs have practical implications (e.g., how students rate their teachers on end-of-semester evaluation forms)? In Study 1, undergraduate students (N=414) and faculty members (N=128) responded to questionnaires assessing their perceptions of…

Newstead, Stephen E.; Arnold, John – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1989
A total of 152 first- and second-year undergraduates rated the effectiveness of their lecturers using three response formats. A scale on which each point gave a precise percentage label was more accurate than one with all points verbally labeled or with only the end points labeled. (SLD)

Hohn, Robert L.; And Others – 1989
The comparative effectiveness of different types of instructors' notes provided during lectures of varying complexity was examined. Ninety-four undergraduates (sophomores and juniors) at a large Midwestern university were presented with 2 taped lectures, each about 60 minutes long. The first lecture was a fact-based description of instructional…

Mehta, Sudhir I. – Journal of Engineering Education, 1995
Describes a teaching method that provides instant assessment of student learning and allows instructors to take corrective measures in the same class period. The method is based on asking a multiple-choice question after every 10-20 minutes of lecture and getting responses from students. This methods allows all students to actively participate and…
