Context: The flipped classroom, moving lecture outside class time and homework to the classroom, has been researched widely across many disciplines. Athletic training education has little research investigating this pedagogical approach. Objective: To explore students' perceptions of a flipped orthopaedic assessment course. Design: Qualitative…

The organisational culture at New Zealand's Otago Polytechnic has been shifting as a result of the "Designing for Learner Success" initiative, which focuses on the redesign and redevelopment of all vocational and degree programmes to improve learner success. The four-phase process (Preparation--Design--Development--Delivery) follows…

This paper serves as an exploration and thick description of job performance outcomes based upon the manner in which self-directed learning activities of employees are conducted, mediated by the use of Web 2.0 technologies in organizational settings. It provides a collective view of the role that Web 2.0 technology plays in self-directed workplace…

Elementary education is vital for children as well as for society as a whole. It serves three major purposes in an individual's life. First, it provides a foundation for learning the core subjects. Second, it provides an understanding of the individual's environment and society. Third, it helps to foster an interest in duty and responsibility…

As technological advancements continue to revolutionize teaching, the use of technology in both college/university and K-12 classrooms is making flipped learning a trending instructional model. "Flipping" the classroom reverses a traditional model of in-class lecture followed by practice and homework. The roles and responsibilities of…

Students learn and process information in many different ways. Learning styles are useful as they allow instructors to learn more about students, as well as aid in the development and application of useful teaching approaches and techniques. At the undergraduate level there is a noticeable lack of research on learning style preferences of students…

Purpose: Blended learning is rapidly emerging as a domain for practice and research. Across disciplines and contexts, at individual instructor and institution levels, educators are experimenting with the blended learning model of instruction. The current generation of learners have been referred to as 'digital natives' in reflection of their…

The purpose of this study was to investigate instructor perspectives on the implementation of flipped classrooms in large enrolment classrooms. Five instructors teaching in different disciplines -- ranging from mechanical engineering to sociology -- were purposefully selected to provide in-depth analysis of the process of converting a traditional…

Aim/Purpose: This study investigates, through structural equation modeling, the direct and indirect effects of blended learning on overall course satisfaction and student performance in interior architecture. Background: For critical education contexts, it is important to analyze student satisfaction with blended learning as well as its effects on…

This dissertation is in response to Garrett's (2014) dissertation on "A Quantitative Study of Higher Education Faculty Self-Assessments of Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (TPaCK) and Technology Training" which has been the inspiration and guide throughout the design of this study. The purpose is to assess the…

The continuous measurement of learning behavior or learning outcome by appropriate sensors is fundamental for the implementation of technology-based adaptive learning courses. An adaptive system needs such learning data to adapt the instruction to the needs of students. Depending on the learning objective, the sensors use information generated…

Literature has argued that starting new churches is biblical and strategic, requiring the effective equipping of church planters and leaders through adult learning methods (Acts 13:1-4 and 14:20-23; Keller, 2003, p. 1; Reimer, 2016, p. 74). The sobering reality is that about one-third of church plants do not survive (Stetzer & Bird, 2007, p.…

Flipped instruction is being implemented in an increasing number of mathematics classes but the research base is not yet well developed. Many studies of flipped instruction involve a small number of flipped classes being compared to non-flipped classes, but this methodology fails to account for variations in implementations. To aid in the…

Next to highly regarded varieties of apprenticeship-based vocational education there are, in many countries, forms of mainly school-based VET (vocational education and training) that suffer from a clash of expectations between schools and workplaces as sites of vocational education. School-based VET is viewed as of lesser value compared to work…

India as a country has been the proponent of the Gurukul (a kind of residential school for select students) system where the 'guru-shishya' (Master - Student) method of teaching was adopted. Ever since, educational pedagogy has undergone a revolution which has primarily been technology driven with ICT at its forefront. IT firms are moving towards…
