Ian Descamps; Sophia Jeon; N. G. Holmes; Rachel E. Scherr; David Hammer – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
In introductory physics laboratory instruction, students often expect to confirm or demonstrate textbook physics concepts. This expectation is largely undesirable: labs that emphasize confirmation of textbook physics concepts are generally unsuccessful at teaching those concepts and even in contexts that do not emphasize confirmation, such…

de Souza Vieira, Alex; Ribeiro Filho, Manoel; de Salles Soares Neto, Carlos – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2021
Contribution: This work presents a teaching and learning process for human-computer interaction (HCI) courses, combining traditional lecture-based classroom (TLBC), active learning (AL) and project-based learning elements, such that students can increase their understanding over HCI. Background: In undergraduate science computing, the academic…

van Harsel, Milou; Hoogerheide, Vincent; Janssen, Eva; Verkoeijen, Peter; van Gog, Tamara – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2022
Presenting novices with examples and problems is an effective and efficient way to acquire new problem-solving skills. Nowadays, examples and problems are increasingly presented in computer-based learning environments, in which learners often have to self-regulate their learning (i.e., choose what type of task to work on and when). Yet, it is…

Mabley, Seren; Ventura-Medina, Esther; Anderson, Anthony – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2020
Future global challenges that engineering graduates face have placed demands on engineering education and how graduates develop competency in collaborative problem-solving. Such demand has seen an increase in the use of pedagogies like problem-based learning (PBL) that provide opportunities for developing collaborative problem-solving skills. PBL…

Davidsen, Jacob; Larsen, Dorthe Vinther; Paulsen, Lucas; Rasmussen, Sten – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2022
In this paper, we present and discuss an explorative study on the use of a social 360° virtual reality (360VR) for supporting case-based Problem Based Learning (case-PBL) in clinical medical education. In the context of case-PBL, we argue that our social 360VR learning space extends the design and application of cases in medical education by…

Latimer, Devin R.; Ata, Athar; Forfar, Christopher P.; Kadhim, Mustafa; McElrea, April; Sales, Ramon – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
This guided-inquiry, upper-division undergraduate organic lab experiment, a hybrid of problem-based learning (PBL); process-oriented, guided-inquiry learning (POGIL); and peer-led team learning (PLTL) has been developed to ease the transition from the undergraduate lab to a research lab environment. The characterization of a mixture of camphor and…

Rodríguez-Chueca, Jorge; Molina-García, Agustín; García-Aranda, César; Pérez, Javier; Rodríguez, Encarnación – Environmental Education Research, 2020
This research studies the efficiency of Flipped Classroom (FC) and Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) as an innovative methodology to facilitate the learning of concepts involving sustainability and the circular economy by higher education students. This study, conducted as part of various innovative education projects, was applied in different…

Bernhard, Jonte; Carstensen, Anna-Karin; Davidsen, Jacob; Ryberg, Thomas – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2019
Contribution: This paper reports engineering students ' practical epistemic cognition by studying their interactional work in situ. Studying "epistemologies in action" the study breaks away from mainstream approaches that describe this in terms of beliefs or of stage theories. Background: In epistemology, knowledge is traditionally seen…

Sanghoon Park; Howard Kaplan; Rudy Schlaf; Eric Tridas – International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2018
The Makecourse-Art is a makerspace designed to promote undergraduate students' aesthetic design skills as well as functional design skills using an interdisciplinary team approach at the University of South Florida. To overcome the unique challenges of the Makecourse (earlier version) and to maximize students' design efforts working on an…

Robinson, Leslie – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2016
This study used grounded theory methodology to investigate whether learning in a problem-based learning (PBL) group was influenced by student demographic diversity. Data comprised observations, in the form of video footage, of one first-year PBL group carried out over the period of an academic year, along with student interviews. Using the…

Shultz, Ginger V.; Li, Ye – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
Problem-based learning methods support student learning of content as well as scientific skills. In the course of problem-based learning, students seek outside information related to the problem, and therefore, information literacy skills are practiced when problem-based learning is used. This work describes a mixed-methods approach to investigate…

Hendry, Gillian; Wiggins, Sally; Anderson, Tony – Psychology Learning and Teaching, 2016
Research has shown that educators may be reluctant to implement group work in their teaching due to concerns about students partaking in off-task behaviours. However, such off-task interactions have been shown to promote motivation, trust, and rapport-building. This paper details a study in which student groups were video recorded as they engaged…

Çakiroglu, Ünal; Öztürk, Mücahit – Educational Technology & Society, 2017
This study intended to explore the development of self-regulation in a flipped classroom setting. Problem based learning activities were carried out in flipped classrooms to promote self-regulation. A total of 30 undergraduate students from Mechatronic department participated in the study. Self-regulation skills were discussed through students'…

Van Blankenstein, Floris M.; Dolmans, Diana H. J. M.; Van der Vleuten, Cees P. M.; Schmidt, Henk G. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2013
This study set out to test whether relevant prior knowledge would moderate a positive effect on academic achievement of elaboration during small-group discussion. In a 2 × 2 experimental design, 66 undergraduate students observed a video showing a small-group problem-based discussion about thunder and lightning. In the video, a teacher asked…

Love, Betty; Hodge, Angie; Grandgenett, Neal; Swift, Andrew W. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2014
The traditional lecture style of teaching has long been the norm in college science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses, but an innovative teaching model, facilitated by recent advances in technology, is gaining popularity across college campuses. This new model inverts or "flips" the usual classroom paradigm, in…
