The use of interactive learning methods is considered crucial in equipping university students with critical skills. This could successfully deal with, and address issues encountered in real-world contexts. It has been noted that most first-year university students often face challenges adjusting to university life due to their background. The…

Enhancing students' conceptual understanding and improving their inquiry skills and motivation for learning science are the goals of science instruction in learning environments. The current study investigated how different inquiry-based learning environments (regular classroom and computer-based environments) affect middle school students'…

Research has shown the negative impact of statistics anxiety on subsequent academic performance. Given that statistics competence is a core component of psychology at degree level across the UK, there is a clear need to explore alternative approaches to the teaching of such courses, such as via online delivery.
