Professors and students have contradictory views of course reading. Professors believe that reading outside of the classroom is essential in optimizing learning.

Reading comprehension is a central skill in secondary education. To be able to provide adaptive instruction, teachers need to be able to accurately estimate students' reading comprehension. However, they tend to experience difficulties doing so. Eye tracking can uncover these reading processes by visualizing what a student looked at, in what…

Pickett, Sarah B.; Nielson, Catie; Marshall, Hydea; Tanner, Kimberly D.; Coley, John D. – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2022

Although useful in some cases, intuitive reasoning can also lead to the development of scientifically inaccurate ideas that conflict with central concepts taught in formal biology education settings, including evolution. Using antibiotic…

El Turkey, Houssein; Turki, Salam; Kottegoda, Yasanthi – PRIMUS, 2021
Many active learning practices highly depend on students' advance preparation for the class. However, reading Calculus can be a challenging task to students. We address this concern by assigning targeted pre-class readings in multiple Calculus courses. We report on our implementations, provide students' feedback, and discuss the lessons learned…

As new voices have emerged, and there is an explosion of reading material, there is also less…

Gorzycki, Meg; Desa, Geoffrey; Howard, Pamela J.; Allen, Diane D. – Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 2020
Qualitative data analysis from open-ended comments written by 206 undergraduates illustrates student attitudes, beliefs, and practices that reveal an academic reading paradox.

Oslawski-Lopez, Jamie; Kordsmeier, Gregory – Teaching Sociology, 2021
We investigate student listening compliance, preference for audio versus print content, and exam performance when professionally produced podcasts are assigned as "readings" and provided in both audio and print formats. Listening/reading compliance for the assigned podcasts was high compared with figures reported in previous research.…
