A survey of 722 physics faculty conducted in 2008 found that many physics instructors had knowledge of research-based instructional strategies (RBISs), were interested in using more, but often discontinued use after trying. Considerable effort has been made during the decade following 2008 to develop and disseminate RBISs in physics as well as…

To investigate the variation in active learning used in college science courses, the authors analyzed 57 comparison studies published in three prominent science education journals. Focusing on three sources of variation--(a) the active learning activities, (b) other pedagogical features, and (c) course structure/design--they found that most…

Derek McClellan; Raymond J. Chastain; Marci S. DeCaro – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2024
Use of online video lectures is increasingly common. However, students may struggle to self-regulate their attention and passively process the content. This study examined whether, and for whom, different types of embedded learning prompts improve student learning from video lectures. Undergraduate physics students (N = 253) watched an online,…

Nyirahabimana, Pascasie; Minani, Evariste; Nduwingoma, Mathias; Kemeza, Imelda – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
Physics education has been identified as one of the public sectors that are mostly influenced by technological developments. This paper adopted the quasi-experimental pre- and post-test design to assess the effects of multimedia-aided technologies (MAT) on undergraduate students' performance in quantum physics (QP) at the University of Rwanda…

De Luca, R.; Faella, O. – Physics Education, 2022
The static equilibrium properties of a spool, resting on an incline and subject to the tension exerted by a string wrapped around the core cylinder, are studied by means of Newtonian mechanics. The overall behaviour of this system is imagined to be similar to that of a doggie kept on a leash. Starting from the well-known mechanical properties of…

Pence, Harry E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This paper describes the course outline for a three credit hour nonlaboratory course in Environmental Health Chemistry which was taught from 1981 until 2008 at the State University of New York College at Oneonta. The purpose of this paper is to share the lecture outline in the hopes that it might be useful to others who are preparing to teach…

Sveinbjornsson, Benjamin Ragnar – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This study explores the importance of general chemistry as a prerequisite for organic chemistry lecture courses. The students taking organic chemistry were categorized into three groups: (1) those who had finished the prerequisite before starting organic chemistry, (2) those who had not finished the prerequisite before starting organic chemistry,…

Doggrell, Sheila Anne – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
Many factors predict academic performance at university but accessing lecture recordings has not been established as one. Our aims were to quantify how and why biochemistry students accessed lecture recordings and to determine any association between accessing lecture recordings and academic outcomes. Lecture recording access data was collected…

Yik, Brandon J.; Raker, Jeffrey R.; Apkarian, Naneh; Stains, Marilyne; Henderson, Charles; Dancy, Melissa H.; Johnson, Estrella – International Journal of STEM Education, 2022
Background: Active learning used in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses has been shown to improve student outcomes. Nevertheless, traditional lecture-orientated approaches endure in these courses. The implementation of teaching practices is a result of many interrelated factors including disciplinary norms, classroom…

Lewohl, Joanne M. – International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education, 2023
The current cohort of undergraduate students is often said to value technology and is assumed to prefer immersive, interactive, and personalized learning experiences. In contrast, many educators recognise the value of face-to-face classes and believe that attending class positively impacts student performance. A novel teaching strategy, including…

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…

Gehman, Courtney A.; Hantz, Eric R.; Hamann, Christian S. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
[superscript 1]H NMR spectroscopy is a molecular characterization technique that is ubiquitously used in research and teaching laboratories alike. Strategic deuteration of molecules is a commonly employed technique in the deconvolution of [superscript 1]H NMR signals. Here this approach is applied in a second-year chemistry course in which…

Brohus, Malene; Duun Rohde, Palle; Echers, Simon Gregersen; Westphal, Klaus Ringsborg; Ern, Rasmus; Jensen, Helene Halkjaer – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2022
Digital tools and platforms offer new solutions to design and conduct university teaching. This case illustrates how such digital solutions may be utilized in problem-based learning programmes within life science educations. Specifically, the case evaluated the use of live-streamed and recorded lectures, the incorporation of digital formative…

Instructor Talk--noncontent and nonlogistical language that is focused on shaping the classroom learning environment--is a recently defined variable that may play an important role in how undergraduates experience courses. Previous research characterized Instructor Talk used by faculty teaching in biology lecture classrooms. However, graduate…
