The purpose of this quantitative, comparative study was to identify statistical differences that may have existed between adult basic education students in traditional and blended classrooms on the variables of perceptions of self-efficacy and academic performance. The seminal theories underpinning the research were andragogy, heutagogy, and the…

Investigations on the efficacy of online education have been both broad and ambiguous. On one side of the coin, research studies argue that there is no analytical or rational distinctness between the academic outcomes of online and face-to-face courses. The problem is that students will experience poor academic achievement when switching to online…

In spring 2020, the chemical education community faced an abrupt transition from in-person to online classes, which also necessitated online assessments. Building upon an existing three-semester study (F17, S19, and F19) using Rasch modeling and classical testing theory to improve in-person multiple choice exams, this study investigates the impact…

It is becoming increasingly clear that not all students require the same education, and the requirement of personalized education is increasingly in demand. The incorporation of adaptive learning (AL) has increased in recent years. However, research on this subject is still evolving at the university level. In this study, we investigated the…

Schools and universities had to make unexpected changes beginning in Spring 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In Spring 2021, one university in the southern region of the United States implemented hybrid teaching formats in College Algebra courses, where students attended half of the classes in-person, and the remaining half of classes were…

The purpose of this quantitative, quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design study was to measure the effects of both types of manipulatives on student mathematical understanding of 1st and 4th grade, Title I students. This data is needed for teachers to make informed decisions regarding their instructional choices. 270 participants…

This study aimed to evaluate the academic success of traditional undergraduate students in online general education coursework. This quantitative study uses student grades and credit completion data to examine differences between online and face-to-face students and the extent of those differences. When comparing the two modalities, the findings…

Supplemental instruction (SI) has been shown to be effective in increasing student success in a wide variety of disciplines. Our study investigated the impact of the number of SI sessions attended on student success on exams and the effectiveness of remote SI compared to face-to-face (FTF) SI. Data were gathered for nearly 1,200 students enrolled…

Learning performance is an important indicator of online learning, is related to the quality of online education and the performance of students. Previous studies have found that learners' learning performance is related to learning motivation and academic emotion, but the role of non-intellectual factors such as academic emotion has received less…

Objectives: This study examines how the transition to remote delivery during the spring of 2020 affected student learning in the basic communication course. Methods: Participants in three different course delivery modes (face-to-face, online, and live interactive) were enrolled in a public speaking course with standardized adaptive reading…

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of distance learning system on academic standing of education faculty's students at Yozgat Bozok University. Education faculties are one of the leading educational institutions where students and teachers' interaction is at the highest level. The education provided in these institutions is highly…

Excellent certificates are not enough to make excellent teachers rather, teaching demands constant insight, reflection, and suitable pedagogy. Determining the best pedagogical method of course delivery plagues faculty members and schools across the globe. This paper reports on an investigation and outcomes of a comparative study of three different…

Despite growing interest in immersive block models in higher education, very little is known about the experiences of international students in these non-traditional forms of learning. To enable an initial view of how international students perceive and perform in an immersive block model, we used an exploratory mixed methods approach to examine…

Background: Despite the many advantages of flipped learning, it is challenging for educators to ensure that students complete the pre-class learning assignments before the in-class session. Objectives: Using a learning analytics approach, this study analysed students' pre-class video-watching behaviour in flipped learning with a focus on learners'…

This study examines the effects of synchronous and non-synchronous online engagement on the academic performance of accounting students at a New Zealand university based on their choice of course delivery format -- either distance learning or face-to-face learning with online components (F2F+). We track accounting students as they complete three…
