This study examines the effectiveness of using multimedia, specifically Remember the Titans, to teach Bruce Tuckman's Group Development stages in undergraduate management education. The research investigates whether integrating film-based pedagogy enhances student comprehension and academic performance compared to traditional lecture methods.…

Poor academic performance remains among the most concerning educational issues, especially in higher education and online learning. To address the concern, institutions like the University of Southeastern Philippines (USeP) leverage educational data mining (EDM) techniques to generate relevant information from learning management systems (LMS)…

Studying in digital learning environments highlights the skills needed to regulate one's own learning. In youth, students are acquiring and developing these skills, but for many students, effectively self-regulating their learning is challenging. To design support in this regard, an in depth understanding of how and why their self-regulated…

Although reading homework is common in university courses, compliance rates vary. Using interviews, this study explored how five students responded to reading assignments in their introductory college mathematics classes and how they viewed reading and reading-related activities relative to their academic successes. Qualitative content analysis of…

Background: This study breaks new ground by presenting a new, more sophisticated model of learning engagement that goes beyond the current state of the art embodied in the widely used Affective-Behavioral-Cognitive (ABC) model. This work synthesizes and builds upon neglected lines of research in the structure of affective engagement. It also…

Human anatomy dissection serves as a cornerstone of medical education, fostering not only anatomical knowledge but also teamwork and professionalism. Given the considerable intellectual, physical, and emotional demands of dissection, effective team dynamics are essential for student success. To enhance learning experiences and academic outcomes,…

Using Critical Race Theory (CRT) as a guiding conceptual framework, this qualitative study examines black students' and parents' perceptions of school discipline and its impact on academic achievement. The findings support the notion that out-of-school suspension has a negative impact on the academic achievement of African American students and…

In this article, the authors contribute to the conversation on High Impact Practice (HIPs) focusing on the connection between sense of accomplishment and what is high impact by discussing data from their study of signature assignments. Signature assignments are assignments within a single course or unit that give students choice, require synthesis…

A commonly-held belief is that many university students are 'assessment-driven'; that is, students engage more with activities that are assessed compared with those that are not. 'Incentivised engagement' includes the practice of providing incentives (such as marks or otherwise) for students to engage in particular activities. Perusall is a social…

Interactions among students in online learning environments are difficult to monitor but can be crucial for their academic performance. Moodle is one of the best and most popular online learning platforms, where its log records can reveal important information on students' engagement and the respective performance. This study examines the degree…

Students face several difficulties in introductory programming courses (CS1), often leading to high dropout rates, student demotivation, and lack of interest. The literature has indicated that the adequate use of gamification might improve learning in several domains, including CS1. However, the understanding of which (and how) factors influence…

Utility value interventions (UVIs) are brief assignments designed to promote students' perceived utility value of the content they are learning. UVIs have been shown to improve students' academic performance in varying STEM courses; however, the use of UVIs in either chemistry courses or upper-level courses has not been well explored. This study…

Procrastination presents problems not only for undergraduate students, but also for undergraduate faculty, and the effects of student procrastination on academic performance is a joint concern. This two-year follow up study seeks to better understand the relationship between academic performance and the actual time of submission of assignments…

This study aimed to test three homework models defined in different cultures on Turkish high school students. HLM analyses were conducted on data collected from 1,229 high school students, considering 19 student-level and 7 grade-level variables. The dependent variables of the study were academic achievement and homework completion. The findings…

Prior research has posited that flipped classrooms facilitate students' self-directed learning and enhance grades. Although reflective writing is one method linked to academic success, it rarely has been examined empirically in the literature within the context of flipped classrooms. The current study investigated the association between growth…
