Abstract:

Higher Education (HE) has changed over the last 40 years, from providing higher level learning for the elite to a provision of education for the wider population. These changes must be accompanied by a consideration of how teaching can promote effective learning in HE with the changed population of students. The aim of this thesis is to examine factors that affect students' learning in HE, and consider how the teaching approaches of university lecturers can facilitate learning at a higher level. Biggs' (1999) 3P model is used as a starting point to examine the different aspects of teaching and

Abstract:

In social constructionist pedagogical approaches, learning is defined as an interactive, discursive and situated activity. This rests on the idea that knowledge is co-constructed through social interaction. Students are seen as active learners and teachers as facilitators. In both off- and online settings, collaborative learning refers to two or more learners working together and striving to solve a common task or achieve a shared learning objective using predominantly peer-directed interactions. Computer-supported collaborative learning has the potential to improve learners’ cognitive, affect

Abstract:

The Student-Centered Active Learning Environment for Undergraduate Programs (SCALE-UP) method incorporates active learning pedagogies into space designed to facilitate effective active learning. Methods predominately used to demonstrate the effectiveness of active learning in STEM fields do not generally account for differences in student characteristics; furthermore, there is a lack of data sources that measure student-centered educational practices. This study examined the impact of SCALE-UP on student achievement in introductory biology, as evidenced by course grades. A regression framework

The literature has advice for these teachers about effective online practices, but there has been little research to establish which strategies are most effective in motivating students.

By acquiring accurate spatial knowledge, people can effectively understand spatial layout and objects in environments. In addition, spatial knowledge acquired from a large- scale VE can effectively be t

Abstract:

Purpose: Assessment feedback is an important contributor to student learning, yet research shows that built environment students are the least satisfied in respect of feedback and reasons for this are not fully understood. Further, recent research shows that built environment students are not always as well prepared for industry as employers’ desire. This work explores means by which use of authentic assessment, allied with assessment feedback, contributes to resolving both of these problems. Research design: The research takes an anti-positivist and interpretive epistemology. The meth

Abstract:

Open learning environments give users a high degree of freedom and control to explore. This freedom and control is beneficial for some students, resulting in a deeper understanding of the material than they would gain through traditional means of instruction. For others, this type of environment is problematic, since for various reasons, these students are not able to explore effectively. One way to address this problem is to augment the environments with tailored support. To provide feedback tailored to the student's difficulties, the environment must have some way of monitoring and assessin

Abstract:

Social work education is increasingly changing, and instructors are experimenting with new methods to deliver social work curricula to reach a larger population of social work students. Students previously excluded from university education based on their geographic location, financial limitations, family or work demands now have an opportunity to access social work programs in Canada using distance education, and distance education has become an emerging field of research. The current study identified instructor and student characteristics and university supports that were assessed as crit

Abstract:

Text in English<br>In a quest to identify best practices in teaching courses in English for Specific Purposes (ESP), this study investigated effective teaching of an online English module in an Open Distance Learning (ODL) environment. Although ODL is attractive to both students and lecturers, there are significant problems regarding how learning, teaching, interaction and assessment should be conducted in this context. The problems are exacerbated by the limited knowledge of using the online systems and constraints linked to time spent on tasks. The study adopted the qualitative research appr

However, when teachers use these online teaching systems for teaching the students, most of the time teachers teach and students listen, students interact with each other is very low. Study also concluded after the end of the online learning courses, unable to extend the learning. Therefore, these studies build the exper
