The purpose of this study was to better understand the instructional and assessment strategies that are most effective in the online learning environment. Faculty and students identified several strategies for maintaining instructional quality in the online environment, including the importance of using a variety of instructional methods to appeal to various learning styles and building an interactive and cohesive learning environment that includes group work. Online assessment strategies include having a wide variety of clearly explained assignments on a regular basis and providing meaningful and timely feedback to students regarding the quality of their work. Effective assessment techniques include projects, portfolios, self-assessments, peer evaluations, and weekly assignments with immediate feedback. The role of meaningful feedback cannot be overemphasized. 相似文献

This paper presents and analyses the results obtained by applying Active Learning techniques in overcrowded Physics lectures at the University of the Republic, Uruguay. The course referred to is Physics 1, the first Physics course that all students of the Faculty of Engineering take in their first semester for all the Engineering-related careers. Qualitative and quantitative data corresponding to three semesters are shown and discussed, indicating that the students that attended these lectures outperformed the students that followed the course in the traditional way: the pass rates increased, whereas the failure rates decreased. The students highly valued this methodology, in particular, the interactive and relaxed dynamics, highlighting the concern of professors to answer questions by means of new questions so as to promote reasoning. The results obtained point to a work path that deserves to be deepened and extended to other Engineering courses. 相似文献

This study investigated the effects of instructor monitoring on student attitudes in an interactive television course. A comparison
was made between learners located at sites with and without video feedback to the instructors. Data were collected for four
variables: level of interaction as perceived by the student, value of the content taught, student assessment of gains in knowledge,
and overall satisfaction. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) results indicated that student perceptions were not affected
by the absence of video monitoring. The effect size was estimated to be practically zero and corroborated by the qualitative
evidence collected in a subsequent study using interviews in other television (TV) courses. Findings were discussed in relation
to instructional characteristics and system improvement priorities. The paper concluded that given appropriate instructional
characteristics, partial absence of video feedback to the instructor may be adequately rectified to justify a wider coverage
by interactive TV instruction even where real-time video feedback is not feasible. 相似文献

This study examined achievement when an interactive textbook (iBook) was used in place of lecture to teach students to create instructional flipcharts for a Promethean interactive whiteboard. The study was conducted with students enrolled in a required technology course for teachers at a large research-intensive university in the southeastern United States. Further, the study examined the iBook group's perceptions of the benefits and challenges of using an interactive text as an educational tool. The results showed a significant difference in the achievement of students who received instruction delivered through the use of the interactive textbook versus those who received lecture instruction. In addition, the participants indicated that the iBook provided a new way of learning, and also motivated them to learn, made learning more exciting, increased their attention toward instruction, was more efficient, and increased their interest in the class. A few students disliked viewing in landscape view versus portrait view, felt more cues were needed to alert less intuitive multimedia components, and desired access extended to Android platforms.

Two studies were conducted wherein an interactive, multimedia-based instructional system was piloted with preservice elementary school teachers. Mathematics methods classes experienced conventional instruction with a new interactive technological-instructional system as supplemental course material. An analysis of interview data indicated that students were more likely to incorporate the knowledge they acquired from the system into their teaching repertoire. Many students thought that this mode of presentation enhanced their learning of mathematics teaching methods and their teaching in other fields.This project was supported, in part, by a grant from the National Science Foundation (Award # TPE-8950317) and International Business Machines. 相似文献

AbstractThe study reported here examined college students’ academic self-efficacy, ‘academic press’ and learning achievement, as well as the association between these three variables within learning contexts using interactive whiteboard-based instruction. A quasi-experimental study was conducted using a sample (n = 103) of first-year college students in China. Participants were taught English by either an interactive whiteboard-based or traditional lecture-based instructional approach for three months. The results showed that the interactive whiteboard-based instructional intervention cultivated higher levels of academic press and academic self-efficacy among students and a significant, positive correlation was identified between these two variables. Students’ learning achievement was not affected by the instructional intervention. These results indicate that interactive whiteboard-based instruction offers some distinct benefits. In future work, additional research is needed to clarify how the instructional model relates to understanding learning achievement. 相似文献

AbstractThe problem involved in this study was to ascertain whether student teachers receiving supervisory feedback with the aid of video and/or audio tape replay demonstrate a greater change in their classroom verbal interactive behavior than student teachers who receive supervisory feedback with no video or audio feedback. Evidence indicates that those receiving video feedback utilize less “direct teaching influence” and more “indirect teaching influence” as categorized by Flanders’ Verbal Interaction Analysis System, Within the audio group, the magnitude of change in the student teachers’ instructional behavior was not statistically significant. The magnitude of the directional change was greater for those students receiving video or audio recorded feedback than the magnitude of change in the control group. 相似文献

Although student self-assessment is considered a critical component of assessment for learning, its use and related research
are rare in higher education. This article describes an action research study of self-assessment as an instructional strategy
in two university courses. Results indicate that self-assessment exercises provided students the opportunity to reflect on
the course and their performance, helped them monitor their own progress, motivated them to do well in the course, and provided
them the opportunity to give feedback to the instructor. Additionally, from the instructor perspective, the exercises provided
useful feedback for course improvement and facilitated interactions and relationships with students. 相似文献

物理练习作为巩固、深化和活化物理知识,发展能力。培养情感态度,以及进行教学评价的重要教学形式,贯穿于整个的教学过程。因此,教师应根据课程目标及学生的学习需求,合理规划、精心设计和灵活实施物理练习教学。正是因为物理练习是物理教学的重要组成部分,故学生同样处于主体地位,教师在学生建构知识、发展能力的过程中始终起主导作用。因此可以通过教师“激疑”、学生“质疑”最后“释疑”这一完整过程去实施。 相似文献

Interactive Multimodal Learning Environments 总被引：5，自引：2，他引：5
What are interactive multimodal learning environments and how should they be designed to promote students’ learning? In this paper, we offer a cognitive–affective theory of learning with media from which instructional design principles are derived. Then, we review a set of experimental studies in which we found empirical support for five design principles: guided activity, reflection, feedback, control, and pretraining. Finally, we offer directions for future instructional technology research. 相似文献

Cognitive load theory (CLT) was used to redesign a Database Systems course for Information Technology students. The redesign was intended to address poor student performance and low satisfaction, and to provide a more relevant foundation in database design and use for subsequent studies and industry. The original course followed the conventional structure for a database course, covering database design first, then database development. Analysis showed the conventional course content was appropriate but the instructional materials used were too complex, especially for novice students. The redesign of instructional materials applied CLT to remove split attention and redundancy effects, to provide suitable worked examples and sub-goals, and included an extensive re-sequencing of content. The approach was primarily directed towards mid- to lower performing students and results showed a significant improvement for this cohort with the exam failure rate reducing by 34% after the redesign on identical final exams. Student satisfaction also increased and feedback from subsequent study was very positive. The application of CLT to the design of instructional materials is discussed for delivery of technical courses. 相似文献

Many students now are receiving instruction in online environments created by universities, museums, corporations, and even students. What features of a given online course contribute to its effectiveness? This paper addresses that query by proposing and applying an analytic framework to five online introductory chemistry courses. Introductory chemistry was chosen because, as the central science, chemistry is a core component of scientific literacy as well as a long-established prerequisite for science, engineering, and medical fields. An online instructional delivery system has the potential to overcome the limitations of the traditionally large and passive lecture format characteristic of an introductory chemistry course by providing students with opportunities for active engagement and support in the learning process via self-pacing, dynamic expositions, interactive problem solving, and open ended or scaffolded explorations of new information. The proposed framework for addressing the effectiveness of online chemistry courses is informed by both cognitive and chemistry education research on examples, tasks, and explorations and includes a catalog of possible online resources. As a demonstration of the framework, an analysis was conducted on each course’s instruction in stoichiometry, a tool that is both challenging to students and fundamental to the solution-chemistry topics addressed during subsequent coursework. The application of this framework revealed characteristics of the courses that could affect their instructional effectiveness as well as students’ impressions of what it means to “do chemistry.” 相似文献

In this work, our goal is to examine the attitude of the Greek scientific community towards Quantum Mechanics and establish
the history of teaching of this theory in Greece. We have examined Physics textbooks written by professors of the University
of Athens, as well as records of public speeches, university yearbooks from 1923 to 1970, articles in popular scientific magazines,
political and philosophical publications and lemmas of encyclopedias that were influencing the public at the time.
Our research shows that Quantum Mechanics in Greece was involved in the debate between the political left and right and the
church organizations of the period, leading to an extremely idealistic misinterpretation of the theory. As a result, Quantum
Mechanics was late to establish itself in Greece, with the first structured and autonomous course on Quantum Mechanics appearing
as late as 1962. 相似文献

This project directly involved students in two different models of instructional development. The first model was a Student Consultant program in which faculty selected from a menu of instructional services carried out by students. Typical services included attending class as impartial observers, soliciting feedback from other students on their learning experiences, videotaping class sessions, and evaluating course Web sites. The second model of instructional development was a program of student‐assisted teaching seminars for college faculty. Student Associates helped serve as panelists and facilitators. Assessments of attitudes toward teaching indicated that faculty members viewed both professors and students as collaborators in the classroom as a result of the seminar series. 相似文献

Formative peer assessment is an instructional method that offers many opportunities to foster students’ learning with respect to both the domain of the core task and students’ assessment skills. The contributions to this special issue effectively address earlier calls for more research into instructional scaffolds and the implementation of dialogic features in formative peer assessment. However, open issues remain regarding the role of assessment criteria, the benefit of formative peer assessment for transferable knowledge and skills, the role of metacognitive and cognitive processes in the provision and reception of peer feedback, and the proposed benefit of more interactive forms of formative peer assessment. Addressing the latter issue in particular, a framework of three dimensions of increasing interactivity is proposed in order to guide future research. These three dimensions comprise the learner’s engagement with the core task (low interactivity), the provision and reception of peer feedback (medium interactivity), and the learner’s engagement with argumentation, tutoring, and co-construction in dialogue with peers (high interactivity). 相似文献

Feedback is an effective instructional practice for improving achievement. The importance of feedback has been understood by teachers for many years, yet recent research has elevated its status. One characteristic of effective feedback is personalized comments, which assist students in understanding their performance. Most research analyzes the effects of written feedback. Some current studies have examined the effects of alternative delivery methods, such as audio. One new approach for creating and delivering feedback is through screen capture technology. A case study was conducted to examine the effects of this method on the academic performance of 36 undergraduate students in a teacher education course. Results showed that screen capture feedback is effective for guiding corrections on a writing assignment. Students also reported that feedback was useful for knowing what they were doing right or wrong and that they would prefer more feedback of this type. 相似文献

The Florida Teletraining Project was an evaluation study that sought to test the feasibility of providing various military
courses to the Reserve Components using community college personnel. Delivery was via a two-way interactive system, TNET,
one of the Army's teletraining networks. Five courses were delivered and evaluated in the project. This article describes
the course design requirements used to develop the interactive video courseware for the project. It also presents the results
of the performance tests and reactions of the students and some of the instructional personnel to the instructional methods
used in the courses. Results showed that all students passed the performance tests (consistent with the U.S. Army's mastery
requirements) and over 90% passed on the first attempt. Students and instructional personnel were positive about the strategies
that were designed for the video teletraining courses. They rated the learning methods, including the interactivity provided,
to be useful and effective. 相似文献

This study investigated interactions between the isolated–interactive elements effect and levels of learner expertise with
first year undergraduate university accounting students. The isolated–interactive elements effect occurs when learning is
facilitated by initially presenting elements of information sequentially in an isolated form rather than in a fully interactive
form. The expertise reversal effect occurs when the relevant advantage of one instructional technique over another reverses
depending on the learner’s level of expertise. The results provided support for the predicted interaction with lower expertise
students benefitting from the isolated elements instructional method, while students with more expertise learned more from
the interacting elements format. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: Critical thinking skills (CTS) are the core learning outcome measures for higher education. Generally, CTS are not extensively developed or practiced during primary and secondary education. As such, early cultivation of CTS is essential for mastery prior to collegiate matriculation. Weekly engagement in 50 min of classroom discussion with student feedback (CDSF) was utilized to develop the CTS of students in an introductory food science course at Purdue Univ. Students' critical thinking ability was assessed longitudinally over a 16‐wk semester using the ACT‐CAAP? (Collegiate Assessment of Academic Proficiency) critical thinking test. The ACT‐CAAP measures the students' ability to analyze, evaluate, and extend an argument described in a short passage. We hypothesized that the implementation of CDSF for 16 wk would expedite development of CTS for students enrolled in the course. The CDSF intervention significantly increased critical thinking ability for non‐native English speaking students as compared to native English speaking students. Students who were classified as sophomore status or above when compared to freshmen and students enrolled as food science majors when compared to other majors also demonstrated increased critical thinking ability. Recitation size also significantly influenced critical thinking ability where students enrolled in a relatively small recitation section had elevated critical thinking when compared to the abilities of those students enrolled in a large recitation. These observations suggest that engaging students in classroom discussions with student‐led feedback is a useful instructional technique for developing CTS. Further, the data suggest the development of critical thinking skill among food science majors can be augmented when classroom discussions with student‐led feedback are conducted in smaller sized recitations. 相似文献
