The goal of this research was to test the effectiveness of a new science curriculum focused on increasing awareness and knowledge of microplastic pollution in middle school students. The curriculum utilized three teaching methods including lectures, object-mediated learning, and peer collaboration to enhance student engagement and learning. The 84…

Cardamone, Carie; Linder, Deborah A.; Knoll, Joyce S.; Webster, Cynthia R. L.; Murray, Maureen; Frank, Nicholas; Shorter, Brittain; Heinze, Cailin R.; Schonhoff, Christopher M. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
Large lecture courses are an efficient way to convey material to many students but have potential limitations, most notably the tendency for them to promote passive learning opportunities rather than active pedagogies. The curriculum at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University, like many veterinary schools, contains many large…

Increasing the Effectiveness of Active Learning Using Deliberate Practice: A Homework Transformation
Miller, Kelly; Callaghan, Kristina; McCarty, Logan S.; Deslauriers, Louis – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
We show how learning can be improved, beyond that shown in actively taught classrooms, by also transforming the homework using the principles of deliberate practice. We measure the impact of transforming the homework on student learning in a course that had already implemented an active approach to teaching in class. We compare performance on the…
