Institutional assessments of quantitative literacy/reasoning (QL/QR) have been extensively tested and reported in the literature. While appropriate for measuring student learning at the programmatic or institutional level, such instruments were not designed for classroom grading. After modifying a widely accepted institutional rubric designed to…

This paper illustrates the integration of the hybrid Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach in the development of the prototype C[superscript 2]HADAM, a multimedia courseware that is intended for the teaching and learning of the Science subject for form two students in Malaysian secondary schools. The discussion begins with the Constructivist…

This article overviews a new teaching method from COVID-19. It uses multimedia resources and more traditional classroom activities together. The course focuses on the benefits of using online parts of hybrid learning in addition to in-person instruction.

This qualitative phenomenological case study was a comprehensive exploration of the contemporary phenomenon of elementary school teachers transitioning to using blended learning in their classrooms and their perceptions of the transition. This study examined the lived experiences of eight teachers in one elementary school to provide guidance to…

Learning analytics (LA) constitutes a key opportunity to support learning design (LD) in blended learning environments. However, details as to how LA supports LD in practice and information on teacher experiences with LA are limited. This study explores the potential of LA to inform LD based on a one-semester undergraduate blended learning course…

Digital Systems is one of the basic foundational courses in Electrical and Computer Engineering. The job market is increasingly in need of Electrical Engineers with knowledge of Hardware Description Languages (HDL). Yet most digital systems design curriculum, largely remains based on design using Transistor-Transistor-Logic (TTL) devices or…

The purpose of this study was to investigate prospective middle school mathematics teachers' views on the flipped classroom. 41 third-year undergraduate students who were enrolled in the mathematics education department participated in this qualitative study.

Flipped learning is seen as offering a more effective means of engaging students and contributing to desirable student outcomes. However, research into the efficacy of flipped learning returns mixed results. Emerging from interviews with 19 students, we find that flipped learning has both positive and negative attributes often experienced by the…

In this study, we analyzed a subset of uncited or low-cited articles from the data reported in Arnesen, Hveem, Short, West, and Barbour (2019), who examined the trends in K-12 online learning articles from 1994 to 2016. We identified 62 articles that had 5 or fewer citations, and analyzed them for trends in authorship, publication outlets, dates…

In many Singapore schools, there are large class sizes comprising about thirty to forty students in each class. In such large classes, the opportunities for interactions between teachers and their students and among students can be limited, especially when teacher-centred, didactic teaching practices are adopted. This small-scale research project…
