This study aims to identify key factors influencing the performance and satisfaction of students in online courses during the COVID-19 pandemic. An online survey of 545 Indian university students was conducted, and structural equation modelling was used to analyse the data. The results highlight four critical factors high-quality instruction,…

Peer review is a cornerstone of academic communication, critical for ensuring the quality and credibility of research. Developing peer review skills sharpens evaluative abilities, promotes critical thinking, and improves teaching, making these skills an essential component of every academic's toolkit. This study reveals that, despite their…

This article presents findings from a self-research study based primarily on verbal and written feedback from the students. The aim was to examine comprehensive academic discussion of my experiences developing Freirean dialogic teaching. A brief review of the principles of critical pedagogy and a definition of dialogic teaching according to Freire…

As an important instructional affordance, teacher written feedback is widely used in second language (L2) writing contexts. While copious evidence has shown that such a pedagogical practice can facilitate L2 learners' writing performance, especially their writing accuracy, little is known about how novice writing teachers conceptualize and enact…

This paper reports on university students' responses to an inverse proportion question. The authors conclude that inverse proportion is a difficult concept that requires constant reinforcement, using approaches to teaching that facilitate deeper conceptual understanding.

In this article, I present the results of a national study of response to student writing and argue for an approach to response I call "Responding for Transfer" (RFT). My corpus includes peer and teacher responses to 1,054 rough and final drafts of student writing from across the curriculum as well as 128 student self-reflection essays…

With the continuous development of higher education, the evaluation of college students' learning has received increasing attention. Understanding the impact of the multiple evaluation system on college students' sense of English learning acquisition is of great significance. It helps educators to better design teaching activities and evaluation…

Little research has examined specific instructional variables that influence the development and effectiveness of task-analysis instruction. We conducted two experiments using text-based task analyses to teach college students to create single-subject reversal design graphs. In Experiment 1, we tested the effects of presenting antecedent and…

Within the new feedback paradigm, the concept of student and teacher feedback literacy is gaining more and more attention, with most studies focussing on what it entails and how it can be supported by design. This paper contributes to this, by focussing on what students can do with feedback information. It proposes an instructional model for…

Purpose: This research investigates the use of real-time online polling to enhance university teaching and learning. Design/methodology/approach: Using a case study and employing action research, this work shows how polling can improve professional practice, learner engagement and teaching performance. Findings: Incorporating the right type of…

Peer feedback literacy is becoming increasingly important in higher education as peer feedback has substantially grown as a pedagogical approach. However, quality of produced feedback, a key behavioral aspect of peer feedback literacy, lacks a systematic and evidence-based conceptualization to guide research, instruction, and system design. We…

The aim of this article is grounded in an investigation into the efficacy of musical education at the collegiate level through the utilization of artificial intelligence methodologies. It has been determined in this study that the utilization of the NSynth application enables an exploration of the artistic significance of musical compositions; the…

Previously the authored showed improvement in student performance in a chemical engineering thermodynamics course using the inverted classroom when compared to the traditional lecture style course. With the addition of just-in-time learning techniques to the inverted classroom, even greater enhancement to student learning and their exam grades…

The goal of the present study was to examine whether college students' learning would be impacted by an innovative teaching strategy--the presentation of Secure Attachment Messaging (SAM) during lecture. Students (N = 205) were presented with SAM every other week as part of the regular PowerPoint slides. At the end of each class, they completed a…

This paper is meant to give some kind of manual instruction for the use of audience response systems for performing peer instruction in class. The different aspects one has to take into account when trying to implement this method are presented. In all of the sections, additional links and references are provided. The author reports on and…
