Koretsky, Milo – Advances in Engineering Education, 2020
The shift to remote teaching with the COVID-19 pandemic has made delivery of concept-based active learning more challenging, especially in large-enrollment engineering classes. I report here a modification in the Concept Warehouse to support delivery of concept questions. The new feature allows instructors to make students' reasoning visible to…

Taylor, Rebecca L.; Knorr, Kris; Ogrodnik, Michelle; Sinclair, Peter – International Journal for Academic Development, 2020
Midterm student feedback is a common process in post-secondary institutions that can lead to enhanced teaching practices and thereby potentially to higher ratings of instructional skills in summative course evaluations. At McMaster University, midterm student feedback is called a 'Course Refinement' and includes consultation with educational…

Mukembo, Stephen C.; Edwards, M. Craig; Robinson, J. Shane – Journal of Agricultural Education, 2020
Ensuring food security for a growing populace amidst an aging farmer population together with a decline in youth engagement in agriculture remains a global challenge. This is more distressing for developing countries, such as Uganda, that rely on subsistence farming to meet their food production demands, including job-creation for at least 75% of…

Buitrago-Flórez, Francisco; Reyes, Juan C.; Rincón, Raul; Hernández, Carola; Galvis, Francisco A.; Ángel, Christiam – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2020
Homework assignments in engineering courses are still passive learning instruments that often appear as requirements rather than learning tools. This issue arises because the teaching team usually does not have the capabilities to provide real-time feedback, or to enable students to fix errors in a timely manner. To overcome this challenge, we…

Partanen, Lauri – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2020
This paper represents the second contribution from an action research study on a bachelor-level quantum chemistry and spectroscopy course. In the proposed instructional model, active learning principles are extended outside lectures to form a student-centred course structure. The new model resulted in superior learning outcomes compared to a class…

Kani, Zeynep Gülsah – International Online Journal of Education and Teaching, 2020
Within the complex "coral gardens" (Breen, 2001) of human learning and teacher education, participatory and mediational tools such as social relations, concepts and cultural artifacts or problem-posing activities, deserve more time and effort as they are scarcely investigated. This exploratory study with both cognitive-interactionist and…

Docherty-Skippen, Susan Maureen; Karrow, Douglas; Ahmed, Ghazala – Brock Education: A Journal of Educational Research and Practice, 2020
To investigate how early elementary science and technology (S&T) education, with hands-on experimentation and inquiry-based learning, impacts pre-service teachers' attitudes and confidence to teach S&T education, we used a cross-sectional survey. Our participants were 27 pre-service teachers enrolled in an Ontario elementary S&T…

Sauder, Molly Hayes; Becker, Frederick; Malcarne, Brian; Saville, Julie – Schole: A Journal of Leisure Studies and Recreation Education, 2020
Many forms of active learning are popular in the college classroom, including case studies, role-plays, simulations, problem-based learning, and some discussion-based activities. Team Meeting 101 is an active learning technique that draws from each of these with the goal of helping students apply academic content and build transferable skills. The…

Wood, Astrid – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2020
This paper explores the benefits and drawbacks of technology-enhanced learning (TEL) to engage undergraduate students in geography modules at Newcastle University. I consider the efficacy of "student response systems" (hereafter SRS, also known as audience response systems, clickers or personal response systems) in large lectures by…
