Student Perceptions of Remote Chemistry Lecture Delivery Methods
Journal of Chemical Education, v98 n12 p3667-3679 Dec 2021
Beginning in March 2020, instructors and students in educational institutions across the world have had to adapt to new virtual methods of teaching and learning. This study focused on obtaining the student perspective of remote chemistry lecture delivery methods across 13 Fall 2020 courses with students in varied majors of study and stages of degree completion. For students who experienced a mixture of asynchronous and synchronous content delivery within the same course, a majority of students preferred the asynchronous model. When all student participants were asked which content delivery model they would prefer, should remote learning continue, the majority of students indicated that a hybrid mixture of both asynchronous and synchronous opportunities would best support their learning. This was followed by a fully asynchronous model with fully synchronous being least preferred. While students in all years of study showed a preference for the hybrid model with even preferences for fully asynchronous and synchronous models, second-year students were more likely to select asynchronous learning over synchronous. For courses providing recorded synchronous content, the majority of students attended the live class, while a significant portion also made further use of the provided recordings, suggesting recorded content may be worth pursuing for future remote or in-person courses.
