The COVID-19 pandemic forced instruction into remote formats, rendering active learning efforts in business classrooms infeasible. In response, we adopt a novel model for interactive classroom activities by hosting classroom games on Google Sheets, the free and widely used cloud-based spreadsheet application. First developed for a synchronous Zoom…

My thesis work is focused on conceptual and epistemic learning and characterizing the environments in which this learning takes place. Earlier studies conducted by the Stowe group explored how instructional practices, instructional emphasis, and assessment emphasis relate to student outcomes in general and organic chemistry courses. Student…

Over the past decade, the increasingly globalized society has continually redefined the qualities and skills of an ideal engineering graduate for industry and academic careers, and, more recently, in light of a global pandemic in 2020, the pedagogical environment has shifted toward a virtual classroom setting. Because the engineering and social…

Teachers often encountered difficulties or even failure in conducting the classroom due to the students' inability to understand the learning materials. Most students find it's challenging to associate their existing knowledge with the new one because of the learning setting that they generally have. Teachers do not consider it important to set…

Background/purpose: The integration of moral values into EFL teaching has been an important issue in Indonesia as multimodal literacy practices can be employed to foster both language learning and moral development among young learners. This study investigated how multimodal learning can be used to promote moral values alongside language skills…

Background: Student anxiety about statistics may lead to poorer learning outcomes. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate an exercise designed to teach students in an introductory statistics class the principles of bivariate regression and to emphasize how statistical tools used by psychologists are also implemented in other fields.…

Engineering courses typically follow a similar framework for content delivery: preread, lecture, and homework. Innovations are starting to be embraced that increase engagement, student learning, and success. One technique that is being experimented with is the use of the flipped classroom. In the flipped classroom model, students watch videos of…

The purpose of this research was to describe the learning implementation, students activities, the student's science literacy ability, learning outcame, and response of students to the implementation of techno-ecopreneurship-based student worksheets on thermochemical topic. This research used pre-experimental design with one group pretest-posttest…

Cognitive style differences, also known as 'empathizing' and 'systemizing' have been argued as one reason that may explain differences in children's motivation to learn science. Researchers claim that people with a 'systemizing' cognitive style are likelier to engage in science than those with an 'empathizing' cognitive style. As such, they…

The purposes of the study were to investigate the effectiveness of integrated 5Es of inquiring-based learning and gamification on grade 8 science learning achievement and to study students' attitudes toward science learning with the integration of the two principles. The participants were 40 eighth-grade students from a Thai public school. They…

Large-group activities have increased in higher education since 2000. Research focused on the possibility to have positive effects on students' learning, regardless of the number of students by identifying facilitating factors. Hence, the achievement of learning results is used as a criterion of effectiveness. This review summarises the findings…

Field course is an important learning activity for students in disciplines like geography and biology. Unfortunately, lack of resources, large student groups, and unprepared students can result in students being passive rather than active during field course preparation. This article reports from a learning intervention where the use of StoryMaps…

With widening application of systems modeling and simulation in healthcare industry, relevant courses have been created in many undergraduate biomedical engineering curricula to address the need in workforce development. However, it is challenging to teach systems modeling and simulation and effective teaching is demanded. To answer the call, I…

Primary school students find it difficult to grasp concepts related to electricity. On the other hand, tangible user interfaces, such as Makey-Makey, offer an interesting alternative for teaching this subject. In order to examine whether the above holds true, a pilot project was carried out, having as a target group 75 students aged 10-11, divided…

This article addresses two aspects of online education: (1) how to develop a linkage between institutional requirements that courses have measurable learning outcomes; and (2) how to utilize technology to enhance the learning experience. Analysis of how tools are used in an accelerated online graduate criminal justice course at the authors'…
