The purpose of this study was to examine self-determination outcome data in the year following a one-year cluster randomized controlled trial (C-RCT) comparing the impacts of a Self-Determined Learning Model of Instruction (SDLMI) only condition to a SDLMI + "Whose Future Is It?" (SDLMI + WF) condition. Using multilevel B-spline model…

Mendes, Skyler H.; Fede, Jacquelyn H.; Wilks, Megan B. – Learning Assistance Review, 2017
The aim of this analysis was to determine from a pilot project whether a new style of course-connected learning support for students in gateway STEM courses could be more successful on the University of Rhode Island's campus than the traditional Supplemental Instruction (SI) model. The new model, Weekly Tutoring Groups (WTG), addressed several of…
