The coronavirus pandemic has forced the world to change education policies in educational institutions. For example, Jordan's Ministry of Higher Education has allowed courses in academic programs to be taught in three types of education: distance e-learning, blended education, and traditional education. Hence this study came to reveal students'…

Direct linkPi, Zhongling; Chen, Minnan; Zhu, Fangfang; Yang, Jiumin; Hu, Weiping – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2022
This study tested the interaction effect of the instructor's eye gaze (direct gaze vs. averted gaze) and facial expression (happy face vs. neutral face) on students' attention and learning performance in slide-based video lectures. University students (N = 120) participated in the experiment in a laboratory setting. The results of ANOVAs showed…

Pi, Zhongling; Zhang, Yi; Zhu, Fangfang; Chen, Louqi; Guo, Xin; Yang, Jiumin – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
This study tested the mutual effects of the instructor's eye gaze and facial expression on students' eye movements (i.e. first fixation time to the slides, percentage dwell time on the slides, and percentage dwell time on the instructor), parasocial interaction, and learning performance in pre-recorded video lectures. Students (N = 118…

Harris, Bethany; Regan, Timothy; Van Loon, Matthew; Fields, Sherecce A. – Journal on Educational Psychology, 2021
Mindfulness training has been attributed to a wide array of psychological benefits; however, there is still much to be learned about trait mindfulness. This study examined relationships between boredom proneness, dispositional mindfulness and time perception within three experimental conditions: Waiting, Social Media and Lecture. Our sample (N =…

Soares, Julia S.; Storm, Benjamin C. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020
Fidget spinners have experienced a rapid rise in popularity, at least partially because they are marketed as attentional aides with the potential to enhance student learning. In the current study, college-aged students watched educational videos while either using a fidget spinner or not. Using a fidget spinner was associated with increased…

Bekkering, Ernst; Ward, Ted – Information Systems Education Journal, 2020
Student performance in classes can be affected by lack of attendance and attention while in class. This paper examines the effect of student participation on performance in two Computer Science classes. Attendance and attentiveness are automatically recorded by the videoconferencing software used for the classes. Student participation is measured…

Bolden, Edward C., III.; Oestreich, Tina M.; Kenney, Michael J.; Yuhnke, Brian T., Jr. – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2019
This article focuses on students' perceptions of small-group activities, discussion, and technology-based interactivity implemented in two different learning environments, namely, in a large, traditional lecture hall and in a smaller classroom. The Engaged Learning Index, developed by Schreiner and Louis, was used along with several items to…

Kim, ChanMin; Park, Seung Won; Huynh, Niem; Schuermann, Ryan Thomas – Journal of Further and Higher Education, 2017
We investigated how high-performers and low-performers differ with regard to motivation and engagement in a university-level, large-format general education geography course. One hundred and ten students participated in the study. A self-report measure was administered three times (at the beginning, middle and end of the semester). Performance…

Shadiev, Rustam; Wu, Ting-Ting; Huang, Yueh-Min – Interactive Learning Environments, 2017
In this study, we provide STR-texts to non-native English speaking students during English lectures to facilitate learning, attention, and meditation. We carry out an experiment to test the feasibility of our approach. Our results show that the participants in the experimental group both outperform those in the control group on the post-tests and…

Kim, Yeongjun; Jeong, Soonmook; Ji, Yongwoon; Lee, Sangeun; Kwon, Key Ho; Jeon, Jae Wook – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2015
This paper proposes a method for seamless interaction between students and their professor using Twitter, one of the typical social network service (SNS) platforms, in large lectures. During the lecture, the professor poses surprise questions in the form of a quiz on an overhead screen at unexpected moments, and students submit their answers…

Rosegard, Erik; Wilson, Jackson – Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2013
College students ("n" = 846) enrolled in a general education course were randomly assigned to either an arousal (experimental) or no-arousal (control) group. The experimental group was exposed to a topic-relevant, 90-second external stimulus (a technique used to elevate arousal and focus attention). The control group listened to the…

Skinner, Michael E. – Education Digest: Essential Readings Condensed for Quick Review, 2010
Humor has not always been looked on with favor in academia. For centuries, the "ideal" professor was a paragon of serious academic pursuit with no time for frivolous commentary. There was nothing funny about the rigors of learning. However, a growing body of literature is emerging that documents the potential positive effects of the systematic and…

Burke, Lisa A.; Ray, Ruth – Teaching in Higher Education, 2008
Evidence suggests that college students' concentration levels are limited and hard to maintain. Even though relevant in higher education, scant empirical research exists on interventions to "re-set" their concentration during a college lecture. Using a within-subjects design, four active learning interventions are administered across two…

INDIVIDUALS LEARN AND RETAIN MATERIAL MORE EFFECTIVELY WHEN THEY ATTEND TO THOSE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ENVIRONMENT ABOUT WHICH THEY ARE TO ACQUIRE INFORMATION. TRADITIONALLY GESTURAL AND SITUATIONAL ATTENTION DEVICES HAVE BEEN USED IN CLASSROOMS IN ORDER TO ATTRACT ATTENTION FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION. IT IS POSSIBLE HOWEVER THAT MUCH MORE SUBTLE…
