It examines the influence of the two different learning settings on academic achievements, the learning…

This study compares outcomes relating to religiosity in two different religion courses to identify possible differences in the outcomes received by students who took the course online asynchronously versus face-to-face. We also seek to identify whether students enrolled in the same online religion course report different learning outcomes based on…

As a guide or advocate in the classroom, professors more actively engage students in the learning process and capture their interest. Students' performance expectations of themselves are also impacted based on the learning environment created by instructors and the classification of the student. Instructors will learn the best way to complement…

Studies on the effectiveness of clickers in undergraduate chemistry courses are mixed, and there is disagreement on how to effectively leverage clickers to improve student learning performance. To fill a gap in the research, we analyzed three different teaching strategies (two involving clickers) in a General Chemistry I course over a 13-year time…

This research studies the impact of taking an international business course (IB) under both online and face-to-face methods on changes in the attitudinal construct global openness. This research also examines how the personality trait of openness to experience influences the change in the degree of global openness achieved by the students.…

This study investigated the impact of 'assessment for learning' on learner performance in Life Science. Simple random sampling was used to select four schools from the King Cetshwayo District of KwaZulu Natal Province, South Africa, to participate in the study. A quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest comparison group design was used, involving four…

Basic subjects in medical education, such as anatomy, are often taught through teaching formats that do not always sufficiently demonstrate the relevance of this basic information for clinical practice. Accordingly, it is a recent trend in anatomy education to link anatomical information more explicitly to clinical practice. This article presents…
