Abstract:

Advancements in media technologies have resulted in increased student usage causing teachers to struggle to be able to engage and hold student’s interest in a typical classroom. As students’ needs change, the field of education changes. One strategy that is gaining in popularity among teachers is the implementation of the “flipped classroom” also known as the “inverted classroom” or “reverse instruction” - a method incorporates technology to “flip” or “reverse” what is typically done in class with what is typically done as homework. Through teacher interviews of eight core teachers, this study attempts to discover teacher perceptions of the use of this method. Results of the study reveal that perceptions of the method are more positive among teachers who typically use lecture as a primary mode of information dissemination.

Abstract:

Online teaching has become more common during the past decades as technological advancements provide new education possibilities. New technology also gives teachers new ways to conduct teaching. Today, there are many different teaching methods which can be utilized. Which teaching methods should be used in order to retain students’ focus during lectures? Which ones should be used to improve students’ enjoyment of lectures? This thesis studies these questions through an eye tracking experiment. Test subjects watched short lecture clips, each using a different teaching while being recorded using eye tracking. In addition, the test subjects answered a questionnaire regarding lecture enjoyment. Based from the results, it is found that focus during and enjoyment of online lectures seems to be mostly dictated by cognitive load. Teaching methods which use some sort of technique to reduce the amount of cognitive load are better at keeping students focused. Furthermore, students seem to enjoy teaching methods which uses a chalk board more.
Onlineundervisning har blivit mycket vanligare under det senaste decenniet tack vare teknologiska framsteg. Nya teknologier har också gett lärare nya sätt att undervisa. Idag finns det många olika undervisningsmetoder som kan användas. Men vilka undervisningsmetoder borde lärare använda för att hålla studenter koncentrerade under föreläsningar? Vilka metoder skall användas för att öka studenters föreläsningsglädje? Denna studie svarar på dessa frågor med ett ögonspårningsexperiment. Försökspersoner tittade på korta föreläsningsklipp som använde olika undervisningsmetoder medans deras ögonrörelser var inspelade med ögonspårning. Försökspersonerna svarade även på en enkät om föreläsningsglädje. Från resultatet framgick det att fokus och hur mycket de gillade att kolla på online föreläsningen påverkades mest av kognitiv belastning. Undervisningsmetoder som använder sig av tekniker som minskar den kognitiva belastningen var bättre i att hålla studenter fokuserade. Studenter verkade även visa större föreläsningsglädje för undervisningsmetoder som anväder svarta tavlan.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to develop a methodological approach using secondary data that researchers, faculty, and staff can utilize to assess student course performance and to identify the input and course environment factors that best predict student course success in an undergraduate lecture capture quantitative methods course. Using the Astin and Antonio (2012) Input Environment and Outcome (IEO) Model as a framework, this quantitative study examined both input variables that students bring to a course as well as the course environment factors that students experience in the course. Three secondary data sources were utilized and analyzed using descriptive and multi-variate statistics.

The findings revealed that students with higher levels of student course engagement and academic self-concept were more likely to achieve student course success in this lecture capture quantitative methods course. In addition, prior University GPA along with live-class attendance, discussion board posts, and course quiz and exam scores were the strongest predictors of student course success.

The largest implication from this study was the methodological approach developed to identify factors that predicted student course success. This approach can be used to help faculty identify course-embedded measures for assessment as well as develop Keys for Success to help future students succeed in difficult courses. While this study added significantly to the limited research on lecture capture courses, future research should further explore qualitative aspects of the course, such as motivation and student video-viewing behaviors, as well as additional impacts on physical attendance in lecture capture courses.

Roa, Michelle L. "Millennial students' preferred learning style| Evaluation of collaborative learning versus traditional lecture methods." Thesis, Nova Southeastern University, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3640067.

Full text

Abstract:

Background. Nurse educators are challenged with a new generation of students referred to as the Millennial generation. These millennial students, who have different learning style preferences, are testing the traditional pedagogical methods of nurse educators such as lecture. The social nature of millennial students coincides with the social constructivism theory that students learn in groups.

Purpose. The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to examine if there was an improved retention of knowledge in millennial students who were taught by collaborative learning strategies rather than the traditional lecture method in an associate degree nursing program. Additionally, the study examined if learning by the students' preferred learning style resulted in a higher level of achievement on a comprehensive standardized examination versus learning by a nonpreferred style.

Theoretical Framework. The theoretical framework for this study was founded on the social constructivism theory suggesting students build knowledge through social group interactions.

Methods. The quasi-experimental study was conducted at an associate degree program in the Midwest. The nonprobability purposive sampling was utilized to examine the means of a comprehensive standardized examination and a learning styles preference assessment.

Results. The statistical analysis utilizing the analysis of covariance did not produce statistically significant findings in the differences in the comprehensive standardized examination score means between the students taught by the lecture method and students taught by the collaborative method when controlled for the cumulative grade point average. Additionally, the study did not find statistically significant differences in mean comprehensive standardized examination scores when taught by the students' preferred learning style versus being taught by their nonpreferred style.

Conclusions. Although not significant, the study did find students who were taught by the collaborative method had higher scores than those who were taught by the lecture method. In addition, learning styles preferences were not significant in determining academic success. The implications of the study are significant to nursing education by highlighting the importance of using collaborative activities and multiple teaching modalities.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine the degree to which cooperative learning affects the active participation or engagement of students in the classroom. Previous research has found that students were more engaged during lecture and classroom discourse methods of instruction (anderson & Scott, 1978). This study attempted to determine whether the instructional strategy of cooperative learning affected this result.;The sample for this study was selected from the students of two English and two social studies teachers for each instructional method (cooperative learning, lecture, and classroom discourse). Videotapes were made of each teacher's class for analysis. Each class had five students whose engagement levels were studied. The participants were students at a suburban high school in southeast Virginia.;Percent of time engaged in the learning process was estimated by dividing the number of behaviors coded as task-relevant by the total number of behaviors coded. After the rate of engagement of each instructional strategy was determined, a one-factor between-subjects design with three levels of the dependent variable, engagement of students, was used. Planned comparisons using the multiple F test were used to analyze the engagement rates for each of the three instructional strategies (lecture, classroom discourse, and cooperative learning) for each instructional area (English and social studies) and for combined subject areas to determine whether the prediction that cooperative learning had the highest engagement level was verified. Alpha was set at 0.05.;The results showed that cooperative learning techniques resulted in statistically significantly (p {dollar}<{dollar}.05) higher levels of engagement of students in the secondary classrooms studied (English and social studies) than instructional strategies using lecture or classroom discourse. In addition, there was statistically significant higher levels of engagement when cooperative learning was used in each of the subject areas English and social studies than instructional strategies using lecture or classroom discourse.;Comparisons of engagement rates in each of the subject areas studied (English and social studies) showed no statistical difference between the instructional strategies of classroom discourse and lecture.;Further research is needed to determine the effect of cooperative learning techniques in secondary subject classes other than English and social studies, to determine the amount of time needed for cooperative learning techniques to be effective, to determine whether cooperative learning techniques ultimately result in higher achievement for secondary students, to determine if a teacher's preferred teaching method influences these results and to compare the rates of engagement for English and for social studies classes when teachers are using classroom discourse and lecture methods of instruction.

Abstract:

For years educators have struggled to ensure students meet the rigors of state mandated tests. Challenges that often impede student success are student absences, school closings due to weather, and remediation for students who need additional help while advanced students can move ahead. Many educators, especially secondary math and science teachers, have responded to these issues by implementing a teaching strategy called the flipped classroom where students view lectures, power points, or podcasts outside of school and class time shifts to allow opportunities for collaborative learning. The purpose of this research was to evaluate teacher and student perceptions of high school flipped science classrooms. A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted to observe 3 high school science teachers from Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee selected through purposeful sampling who have used the flipped classroom method for a minimum of 2 years. Analysis of data from an online survey, direct observation, teacher interviews, and student focus groups helped to identify challenges and benefits of this teaching and learning strategy. Findings indicated that teachers find the flipped classroom beneficial to build student relationships but requires a significant amount of time to develop. Mixed student reactions revealed benefits of a flipped classroom as a successful learning tool for current and future endeavors for college or career preparation.

Abstract:

Cette étude révèle le comportement d'une matrice de détection infrarouge portée à la température de l'hélium liquide (4.2K). La Société Anonyme de Télécommunications (France) réalise la matrice de détection 32x32 éléments senseurs, à lecture CID (Charge Injected Devices) sur susbtrat InSb (antimoniure d'indium). Son utilisation à la température de l'hélium liquide est différente de celle prévue par son fabricant (77 K). En particulier, le comportement du courant d'obscurité varie fortement entre ces deux valeurs de T. Seul le courant tunnel est encore actif à la température de l'hélium liquide (les courants d'origine thermique s'annulent). Sensible au potentiel de surface du semiconducteur, le courant tunnel de la structure MIS-InSb ne sature pas les puits de potentiel de la matrice InSbCID. La recherche du temps d'intégration maximum, la contrainte liée à la linéarité de la réponse photonique (spécialement sous faible flux de photons), l'optimisation du rendement quantique et la réduction du bruit de lecture constituent les points fondamentaux de cette étude. Cependant, les mesures expérimentales de la caméra ont révélé des effets secondaires liés au détecteur (dérive, réponse inertielle) ou au cablage électrique (diaphonie). Un chapitre spécial est réservé au comportement des matrices CID SAT en envîronement y. Le résultat de cette phase d'études est la réalisation de la caméra infrarouge CIRCUS (Caméra Infra-Rouge Courte longueur d'onde pour Utilisation au Sol).

Abstract:

While research supports the integration of mobile computing into instruction, there is disagreement concerning the unstructured use of mobile devices in lecture-based college classrooms. Research supports the argument that unstructured use creates distraction and decreased academic performance. Research also suggests that unstructured use actually supports lecture instruction through personalized learning situations. In either case, the motivations of students to use mobile device is often unclear. This study sought to investigate the motivations for students’ acceptance of mobile devices. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) was utilized to identify the factors leading to college students’ adoption of mobile devices. A survey based on UTAUT was distributed to 254 college students in six distinct lecture-based general education courses. The results revealed that Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, and Social Influence were positively correlated with Behavioral Intention for class-related behavior, with Performance Expectancy being the most significant. None of the constructs were significant for behavior unrelated to lecture. Analysis of the students’ intention based on the UTAUT moderators of age, gender, and experience did not produce any significant difference, nor did an analysis of the classes by subject. The study concludes that the ability of a mobile device to complete specific tasks was the strongest motivating factor leading to intention.

Abstract:

La problématique de notre recherche, puise sa source d’un constat réel que matérialisent les énormes difficultés que rencontrent les enfants libyens dans l’apprentissage de la lecture. L’hypothèse de départ sur laquelle nous nous sommes étayés, part du postulat que l’échec d’assimilation rapide des processus du codage et d’encodage chez l’enfant libyen, résulte non seulement de la non reconnaissance de l’enfant libyen dans le modèle culturel et familial que proposent les manuels, mais en plus, de l’inadaptation de la méthode d’apprentissage de la lecture aux spécificités sociales et culturelles de la Libye. La non adéquation de la méthode d’apprentissage aux spécificités sociales et culturelles, se trouve aggravée par la mauvaise structuration des référents dans le manuel scolaire, tant au plan du contenu que celui du contenant. La distanciation entre la symbolique utilisée dans le langage populaire (arabe parlé dans les familles) et ceux du langage officiel (arabe classique pratiqué à tous les niveaux de l’administration), précipitent l’échec d’apprentissage de la lecture à commencer par les enfants du CP. L’objectif de notre travail consiste, au terme d’une recherche laborieuse, à mettre entre les mains des différentes instances gouvernementales libyennes, un nouveau manuel, adapté aux spécificités locales tout en s’inspirant des avancées réalisées dans les sciences de la didactique et de la pédagogie, constatées en Occident
Our research them relies on real observation of the difficulties encountered by the Libyan pupils in the field of reading.We started from the supposition that the Libyan child's failure is due to the fact that child does not identify with the social and cultural models proposed in this school books.It is also due to the discrepancy between the reading methods and Libya socio-cultural specificities. Such as discrepancy is deepened by the inadequate organization of the references in the school handbook at the level of forms as well as usersThe difference between the colloquial language spoken within families and the official one based on classical written Arabic used in all the Libyan official administrations quickens the failure of the reading apprenticeship from the first year of primary education.Our aim in this research is to provide the Libyan officials with a new method more adapted to the local specificities, and in the same time enriched with the most relevant didactic and pedagogical achievement obtained in the west

Abstract:

Studies show that the use of narratives enhances the lecture method of teaching. The model and manual developed in this study focus on the needs of lecturers who require creative guidance in all aspects of creating and using didactic narratives. This study suggests that the subject content of a lecture has a deep structure that can be used to generate the surface structure of a didactic narrative. The model and manual are informed by theories and models from a variety of disciplines that have been adapted for analyzing subject content, transforming subject content structure into a parallel narrative structure, and integrating the narrative into lecture.

Abstract:

This study focuses on perceptions of a group of Computing lecturers at a large post ’92 Scottish university of the changes that have occurred in the student body. It also considers whether or not the changes have had any impact on the identity and role of the lecturers and whether the lecturers have adapted their practice to accommodate the needs of the diverse student population. An empirical approach was used consisting of semi-structured interviews with a targeted random sample of lecturers. The findings indicate that the impact of the changes which have taken place within higher education have not been uniform and have varied depending on the perceived status of the institution as well as the discipline within the Higher Education (HE) hierarchy. The findings identify a number of areas for consideration by university managers, lecturers and higher education researchers. There appears to be a gap between university policies on widening access and student retention and the implementation of the policies by the lecturers. The findings show that the lecturers are aware of the greater diversity of the student body, but that many of the lecturers share the traditional view of a university student and therefore expect the students to adapt to fit the existing system rather than considering changing their approaches to suit the students. The lecturers in my study have adopted a number of strategies to cope with the constant changes taking place within higher education. However, many of them are unclear as to what is expected of them and unsure about how they should prioritise the numerous demands on their time. This study differs from and complements other work because it focuses on the lecturers’ perceptions of the changes in their role as well as in the student body. The outcome of my study is a better understanding of the perceptions lecturers have of their role and the students that they teach. Although my study is small scale and specific to a particular academic discipline within a large university, the findings should be of value not only to the particular institution in the study, but the wider academic community as well.

Abstract:

Une corrélation entre les performances à l’écrit d’élèves de classes primaires et la méthode de lecture suivie au CP a été mise en évidence en 2000 (DEA). L’objectif de la recherche est de confirmer cette influence et de décrire l’installation des automatismes de l’écriture et l’évolution des procédures psycho-cognitives indispensables au traitement de l’écrit, en lecture et en orthographe. Le suivi longitudinal d’élèves, du CP au CM2, montre que l’enseignement reçu au CP peut agir sur l’installation des procédures de traitement de l’écrit et sur les performances des jeunes lecteurs et producteurs. Certains types d’erreurs, en dictée, en copie et en rédaction, sont repérables jusqu’au CM2. Trois méthodes sont observées, la méthode des dictées muettes inspirées de M. Montessori, la méthode Naturelle de C. Freinet et le Protocole AFL, différentes dans leur ancrage théorique, pédagogique et linguistique. Elles sont comparées aux démarches mixtes, analytiques et synthétiques. Les résultats montrent que certains enseignements sont essentiels comme celui du code grapho-phonologique, fondateur des habiletés en lecture et facilitateur de la maîtrise du code orthographique. L’étude souligne un effet « pratique de maître » pour les démarches mixtes limitées à l’enseignement de la lecture au CP et un effet « méthode » pour les démarches organisées sur l’ensemble des trois cycles. Les résultats mettent en évidence la nécessité d’une fréquentation efficace des textes, pour favoriser les habiletés à rédiger. Les tendances observées soulignent un effet moindre du milieu socioculturel sur les performances des cohortes qui ont reçu un enseignement des correspondances GP
A correlation between the writing performance of elementary classes’ students and the reading method used in the “CP” class was underlined in 2000 (Master’s study). The purpose of the present research is to confirm this impact and to describe the development of writing automatisms and psycho-cognitive process evolution, which are both essential for the writing processing, in reading and spelling. The students’ longitudinal follow up, from the CP to the CM2, shows that the CP teaching may have a positive impact on establishing the writing processes and the performances of young readers and writers. Certain types of errors in dictation, copy work and essay can be observed until the CM2. Three methods have been analysed: the “dumb dictations” inspired by M. Montessori, the Freinet Natural method and the AFL Protocol, which differ in their theoretical, educational and linguistic bases. They are compared with the mixed, analytic and synthetic approaches. The results show that one of the essential teachings is the teaching of the grapho-phonological code, which settles reading skills and facilitates the control of spelling set of rules. The research underlines a “teacher’s practice” effect for the mixed methods restricted to reading’s teaching in the CP class and a “method” effect for those approaches which organize the teaching on all three cycles of primary school. The results show the necessity of an efficient textual activity, in order to develop the writing skills. The observed trends show a less effect of the socio-cultural environment on the performances of those cohorts which have received a phonologically based learning of letter-sound rules

Abstract:

Enrique Granados, Frank Marshall, and Alicia de Larrocha are the chief exponents of a school of piano playing characterized by special attention to details of pedalling, voicing, and refined piano sonority. Granados and Marshall dedicated the major part of their efforts in the field to the pedagogy of these principles. Their work led to the establishment of the Granados Academy in Barcelona, a keyboard conservatory which operates today under the name of the Frank Marshall Academy. Both Granados and Marshall have left published method books detailing their pedagogy of pedalling and tone production. Granados' book, Metodo Teorico Practico para el Uso de los Pedales del Piano (Theoretical and Practical Method for the Use of the Piano Pedals) is presently out of print and available in a photostatic version from the publisher. Marshall's works, Estudio Practico sobre los Pedales del Piano (Practical Study of the Piano Pedals) and La Sonoridad del Piano (Piano Sonority) continue to be used at the Marshall Academy and are available from Spanish publishing houses. This study brings information contained in these three method books to the forefront and demonstrates its relevance to the performance of the music of Granados, specifically the Escenas Romanticas. Alicia de Larrocha, Marshall's best known pupil, currently holds the directorship of the Marshall Academy, and as such, is perhaps the best living authority on this entire line of pianistic and pedagogical thought. An interview conducted with Madame de Larrocha in April of 1983 adds detail and provides valuable perspective about the present use and relevance of these materials and concepts.

Abstract:

Este trabajo de investigación indaga sobre el papel mediador de algunos docentes de lengua y literatura en la formación lecto-literaria de sus estudiantes, concretamente en el trabajo didáctico con los textos que pertenecen al género de la ficción narrativa, como son los cuentos y las novelas. La pregunta principal que nos hacemos es si las decisiones y mediaciones de los docentes permiten desarrollar la capacidad (competencia) receptora de estudiantes de secundaria. Y si estas decisiones y mediaciones permiten dinamizar, contextualizar y potenciar factores como: a) los componentes del repertorio lector (saberes: lingüísticos, literarios, enciclopédicos y culturales) y b) amplia los referentes estéticos en relación con sus horizontes de expectativas. La tesis consta de tres partes. En la primera abordamos lo que tiene que ver con hábitos lectores y algunos de sus desafíos, donde se presenta parte del panorama lector actual y donde han jugado un papel determinante los estudios sobre hábitos culturales y lectores que se vienen adelantando en diversos países como Francia y España. Como parte de estas experiencias se aborda en uno de los capítulos la lectura literaria en la escuela, se presentan algunos de los nuevos modos de leer en diversos formatos, que están configurando al lector y lectora del siglo XXI. Esta parte de la tesis también desarrolla los referentes que le dan sustento teórico a esta investigación. Para ello recurrimos a dos ámbitos del conocimiento: el de la didáctica y el de la teoría y crítica literarias. Del campo didáctico explicamos las evoluciones de la enseñanza de la literatura que van desde un enfoque centrado en lo histórico hasta llegar a un modelo de educación literaria, que pretende formar lectores críticos. Y es justamente para lograr este propósito que recurrimos a la categoría repertorios tomada de la estética de la recepción, ya que leer es establecer un pacto o contrato lector entre el texto y las personas; compartir repertorios comunes garantiza que se pueda llevar a buen término la actividad de la lectura. Y en la escuela el docente es un mediador entre los repertorios de los textos literarios (el mundo ficcional) y los repertorios de sus estudiantes (el mundo juvenil y sus experiencias lectoras). En la segunda parte se presentan los datos recogidos en el trabajo de campo realizado con un enfoque de investigación cualitativa; se recolectaron informaciones a través de cuestionarios a docentes, entrevistas semiestructuradas a profesores y sus estudiantes, observaciones de clase, y documentos escritos oficiales y personales. Todos estos materiales son la base para realizar la triangulación de los datos que validan la investigación, ya que se hace un estudio desde diferentes ángulos de las prácticas de lectura literaria en las clases. A partir de este estudio, redactamos como propuesta unas líneas generales para la mediación docente, donde se hace énfasis en el trabajo con contenidos actitudinales, que son una guía válida para el trabajo con la lectura literaria porque las personas los interiorizan y las dispone a adquirir con naturalidad y gusto cierto tipo de prácticas culturales. En las conclusiones finales, que constituyen la tercera parte de la tesis, damos respuestas a las preguntas que nos planteamos en la investigación. Es importante resaltar que comprobamos que existen diferentes estilos de mediación docente en cuanto a la formación literaria de los estudiantes está es heterógenea, no responde a un modelo, sino más bien a los contextos sociales y escolares, y ante todo a la valoración que poseen los docentes sobre lo literario.
This research investigates the mediating role of some teachers of language arts literacy and literary education of their students, particularly in the educational work with the texts belonging to the genre of narrative fiction, such as short stories and novels . The main question for us is whether the decisions and mediation of teachers to develop capacity (competence) receiving high school students. And if these decisions and enable dynamic mediations, contextualize and enhance factors such as: a) the components of the code reader (knowledge: linguistic, literary, and cultural encyclopedic) and b) expands the aesthetic references regarding their horizons of expectations. The thesis consists of three parts. In the first tackle what has to do with reading habits and some of its challenges, which shows part of the picture Current reader and where they have played a decisive role cultural habits studies and readers who come forward in countries like France and Spain. As part of these experiences is addressed in one chapter literary reading in school, are some of the new ways of reading in various formats that are shaping the reader and reader century. This part of the thesis also develops the references that give theoretical support to this research. For this we turn to two areas of knowledge: the didactic and the literary theory and criticism. Explain the educational field developments in the teaching of literature ranging from a focus on the historical up to a literary education model, which aims to train critical readers. It is precisely to achieve this purpose we turned to the category codes taken from the aesthetics of reception, as reading is to establish an agreement or contract between text and reader people, sharing common codes ensures that you can bring to fruition the reading activity.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to assess the achievement of older learners when using computer-assisted-instruction tutorials with no time limits and to compare this achievement with that of other older students who were taught by the conventional lecture method of instruction. The effects of prior formal education, physical limitations, socioeconomic status, and sex were also identified. Students in the age categories fifty-five to sixty-seven and sixty-eight and over were placed at random in either a control group that would receive instruction in the conventional lecture method or a treatment group that would receive computer-assisted-instruction. Each of the students in the study completed a demographic data form, received instruction, and was tested over the topics which had been covered. The test scores and demographic data were summarized and analyzed using two-way analysis of variance. The purpose of the analysis was to determine (1) if there was a significant difference in the effectiveness of the two methods of instruction, (2) if there was a significant difference in the performance of the two age categories, (3) if there was a significant interaction between the age levels and the methods of instruction, and (4) if the test scores were affected by past formal education, physical limitations, socioeconomic status, or sex. It was determined that students in the computer-assisted-instruction groups scored as well as those in the conventional lecture method of presentation groups. There were no significant effects from past formal education, physical limitations, socioeconomic status, or sex. However, there were trends in the data that warrant further study. It was recommended that educators be encouraged to use computer-assisted-instruction tutorials when working with older students. CAI was found to be at least as effective as the more conventional lecture method, and the growth and expansion of computer technology makes this a viable option for future educational programming.

Pierce, Robert D. "Phrasal verbs in academic lectures." PDXScholar, 1990. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/4140.

Abstract:

Phrasal verbs are a pervasive and distinctly Germanic part of the spoken English language that has been alive for centuries. They have preceded American history, and yet considered to be "the most active and creative pattern and word formation in the American language" (Meyer, 1975). Distinctly colloquial, idiomatic and varying in shades of literalness and figurativity, phrasal verbs are largely dominant in casual usage, such as conversation, while the Latinate verbs of English are dominant in formal usage, such as in making reports (McArthur 1989). While foreign educators and their students, such as from Chinese countries, are found to emphasize English study for formal and academic purposes, the acquisition of phrasal verbs may not be considered instrumental to the purposes of the students coming to the United States in pursuit of academic degrees. Because of the pervasiveness of phrasal verbs in spoken English language, and because of the largely conversational nature of American lectures, this study is intended to answer the following research questions: 1. In university classrooms, are the phrasal verbs spoken by native English speaking lecturers? 2. Are figurative phrasal verbs in academic lectures significantly greater in frequency than non-figuratively classified phrasal verbs in the academic lectures? 3. Do certain academic subjects tend to generate a significant increase in the number of phrasal verbs spoken by instructors, of either figurative phrasal verbs, or the more literal non-figuratively classified phrasal verbs?

Abstract:

Online instruction is becoming increasingly common at universities; however, there is little single subject research concerning the effectiveness of the online lecture format. We investigated whether online lecture could replace in-class lecture in two sections of an undergraduate Introduction to Behavior Analysis course without detrimentally affecting student learning. Using an adapted alternating treatments design, online and in-class lecture formats were counterbalanced across the two course sections. Experimenters collected data on lecture attendance/access, percent correct on the weekly quiz, and student report on lecture format preference. The data show that, within the context of this class, students performed equally in the weekly quiz regardless of lecture format; further, that this is consistent when looking at individual student data and mean data. However, although students stated a preference for online lecture in the questionnaire, a greater percentage of students attended in-class lecture than accessed online lecture.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to identify teaching styles in higher art education. The research was qualitative, and the methodology was one of triangulation, involving the views of lecturers, students, and the observer (author). Preliminary interviews with students and staff at one college provided the framework for the research and highlighted basic important variables in teaching art at college level. A 3D perspex model was designed to encourage lecturers to exteriorize and articulate in a visual/spatial way the various emphases they had in their teaching. The resultant form was a 3D 'concept map', indicating the person's approach or style. The research was replicated at another college, and extended by videotaping lecturers teaching, and interviewing students. Cluster analysis was used with the model data to establish groupings of lecturers, and when cross-referenced with the analysis of student interviews and videotapes/observations resulted in four different styles of teaching, which were labelled 'Fundamentalist', Structurist', 'Objectivist', and 'Artist'. There was found to be no real difference in style that could be attributed to the two different institutions; length of teaching experience markedly influenced styles; aims objectives and philosophies of courses had a strong influence on teaching styles.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Although Problem-based learning (PBL) approach is a common teaching technique in medical education, its use in the field of respiratory therapy is somewhat controversial. With so many programs adopting PBL strategies, it is important to examine whether there are differences between PBL and traditional teaching approaches in regards to learning outcomes. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate if there are any significant differences between PBL and lecture-based program students in their cognitive abilities in mechanical ventilation. METHODS: Two universities with BS programs in respiratory therapy were chosen—one uses PBL (15 participants) and on uses lecture-based method (24 participants). All 39 participants were given10 multiple-choice questions related to mechanical ventilation derived from the NBRC RRT written exam forms (C & D) as a pre and a post test. RESULTS: The dependent t-test showed a significant difference between the pre and post test of the lecture-based and the PBL groups, resulting in a p value of 0.006 and 0.025 respectively. The independent t-test showed a significant difference in the pre-test favoring the lecture-based group (p = 0.039). However, the independent t-test showed no significant difference in the post-test (p=0.085) CONCLUSIONS: PBL is increasing in popularity despite the fact that studies of its efficacy have been thus far inconclusive. This study has shown PBL to be effective, but not significantly more effective than traditional lecture-based methods in regards to objective test scores.

Abstract:

The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of case-based instruction and lecture-discussions in enhancing students' multicultural social work competence and their reflective self-regulation to learn multicultural social work. The sample consisted of undergraduate social work students enrolled in a multicultural social work practice course which was composed of two classes, the Special Bachelor of Social Work (SBSW) and the Regular Bachelor of Social Work (RBSW). The students in the SBSW had higher levels of education, mean age, and mean GPA than the students in the RBSW class. Each of these classes was divided into two sections. Participants were randomly assigned to these two sections in which case-based instruction in a section (n = 20 for the SBSW class; n = 19 for the RBSW class), and lecture-discussions in the other section (n = 20 for the SBSW class; n = 19 for the RBSW class) were used to teach the same course content. To control for instructor effects, the researcher and another instructor both taught the two sections of each class, one with case-based instruction and the other with lecture and discussions. The randomized pretest posttest control group design was used in this study. Case analyses scored through Cross-Cultural Counseling Inventory-Revised and student self-reports using the Multicultural Counseling Inventory were used to measure multicultural social work competence. To measure levels of students' self-regulated learning in relation to the course, students were administered the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire. The same data were collected both at the beginning of the study and at the end of the study. The length of the study was 8 weeks. Two procedures were followed to ensure treatment fidelity: two observers recorded the extent to which class plans reflecting the content and methods of instruction were implemented and students completed questionnaires evaluating the extent to which each method of instr

Abstract:

Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree MEd education in the faculty of education at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology
Teaching methods in the higher education sector has changed over the years from traditional teaching methods (also known as talk and chalk) to that of a more participatory level. The private higher education institution that I selected to do my study at was of the opinion that it is in order to appoint lecturers who have completed a degree and have the necessary industry experience in the field of the programme (course) to be taught at the institution. Very few, if any, lecturers have completed an education qualification such as a post graduate certificate in education or have little or no teaching experience. Moving with the challenges that education sets for educators today, it became clear that the students at this institution were no longer satisfied with the teaching methods that the lecturers used to present their classes. This information was gathered from the quarterly lecturer evaluations that were done at the institution. It is done by means of criteria in the form of a questionnaire to all students. This questionnaire was drawn up by professional educators in management and was piloted and adjustments were made before it was handed to the students. One student asked the question in the additional comment box whether the lecturers at the institution were ready for the first cohort of students who matriculated with the outcomes based education system. This was discussed with the management team of the institution and a decision was made to do a research project on the teaching methods currently used by lecturers at this institution and to underpin the study with the activity theory that originated with Vygotsky. The institution gave me the necessary ethical clearance to do the study in the business faculty. Only the business faculty and not the art, design and information technology faculty was considered when gathering information from the quarterly questionnaires issued to the students. The reason being that the feedback indicated that there were problems regarding teaching methods in only the business faculty and not in the art, design and technology information faculty. The aim and objectives of this study were to determine (1) what teaching methods are currently used by lecturers in the business faculty; (2) what the perception is of the lecturers and students towards teaching methods currently being used in theoretical subjects in the business faculty; and (3) could participatory (active) teaching methods possibly bring about the emancipation of students in the business faculty. The research methodology used to collect this information was of a quantitative and qualitative nature. Section A of the questionnaires to the lecturers and questions in section A for the focus group interviews for the students were used as quantitative data collection. Qualitative data collection was gathered from section B and C in the questionnaires for the lecturers and section B which contained the questions asked to the students in the focus group interviews. To triangulate the data collected from the lecturers (questionnaires) and that of the students (focus group interviews), observation as a qualitative method of data collection was used where at least one lecture of each lecturer who participated in this study was observed. All lecturers in the business faculty were asked to participate in this study. The total number of lecturers who participated in the study was 9 (n=9). The total number of students in the business faculty at the time of the study was 241 of which four students (n=4) from the business management programme, eleven students (n=11) from the secretarial studies programme, eleven (n=11) from the event management programme and five (n=5) from the business marketing programme were selected to form part of the focus group interviews. All questionnaires and observation sheets were piloted before the study took place and the necessary adjustments were made. All lecturers and students were assured of their anonymity and no one’s names will be revealed to the management team of this institution. It was found that some lecturers in fact do use participatory teaching methods and one lecturer in particular made use of a method that could be likened to the flipped classroom concept. However, from the results of the questionnaire it was evident that the teaching methods of two staff members in particular were cause for. There is therefore scope for staff training to improve the teaching methods at this institution to deliver a far better service to its clients: the students, parents and industry. Recommendations for staff development as well as an improved induction programme for the novice students will be given to the management team of the institution.

Abstract:

Cette thèse propose un matériau d’étude constitué par le récit de vie d’un travailleur, syndicaliste, analyste de situations sociales et réalisateur de films vidéo.Une investigation théorique a été nécessaire pour exposer le récit à un matérialisme dialectique et historique. Il a permis de repérer les principales contradictions pour définir des objets de connaisance et appliquer l’approche marxienne dont il ressort huit catégories qui sont autant de nouveaux objets de pensée et renvoient à huit couples de mots. Le premier est issu de l’analyse du récit alors que le second se projette dans l’avenir.Le constat est fait que l’écriture individuelle de l’activité sensible des travailleurs comporte de nombreux obstacles épistémologiques et n’autorise guère en retour de pouvoir agir sur la transformation des milieux de travail. L’hypothèse est avancée que les techniques numériques actuelles permettent de lire cette expérience du travail grâce à une méthode alliant la photographie (concret réel) et le film des dialogues entre pairs et spécialistes (concret pensé).Nous conclurons à une place des travailleurs bien différente des témoignages auxquels ils sont réduits la plupart du temps. La perspective de notre thèse vise à produire des points de vue collectifs qui s’inscrivent dans une vie démocratique au travail où les protagonistes arriveraient à connaître leurs intentions respectives. Nous soutiendrons pour cela la nécessité de cliniques du travail.Nous nous situons dans la filiation d'Ivar Oddone, d’une méthode qui permette de lire collectivement l’expérience du travail par un mouvement du réel vers le concret entre deux registres d’analyse
This thesis offers a comprehensive study of the life story of a union worker, social commentator and film director.A theorical investigation was necessary in order to expose the narrration to a dialectic and historical materialism. It allowed to identify the main contardictions to define key knowledge and apply the marxian approach. We identified eight categories allowing new thought processes and reflecting eight keywords. The first stems from the analysis of the narration, while the second is future-oriented.The workers’ writing of their own life and experience brings several epistemological obstacles and do not allow any considerable change of the working conditions.We advanced the hypothesis that current digital technologies allow to whitness these work experiences through a method using both photography (practical approach) and film – with the interaction of the peers and experts - (theorical approach.)We will conclude that workers’ roles are significantly different from what testimonies usually lead the public to believe. This thesis’ perspective aims at creating collective view points supporting democratic work conditions, where protagonists are able to identify their own intentions as well as other’s. To this end, we will emphasize the necessity of work cliniques. Our approach is in line with Ivar Oddone’s teachings, supporting a method allowing to collectively read the workplace experience via a movement from realistic to concrete, between two types of analysis

Abstract:

Following completion of a 4-year nursing program, some graduates have difficulty applying theories learned in the classroom to the clinical environment. This difficulty results in healthcare employers providing additional in-house training to ensure graduates' ability to safely care for their patients. The purpose of this research was to explore how traditional lecture methods have prepared students for the clinical environment. Based on a constructivist theoretical framework, a case study design was used to examine students' learning of theories delivered by traditional lecture methods. The research questions focused on student activities in the classroom and clinical setting, teaching strategies, critical thinking skills, and transfer of theory. Interview and observational data were collected from 10 randomly chosen students, their instructor, and 2 preceptors. Data were analyzed through a manual coding process, one that sought to identify emergent themes. Observational data revealed that nursing students were disengaged during the 3-hour lectures. Interview data revealed that students preferred that nursing skills be demonstrated prior to implementation. Both sources of data revealed that the 3-hour lectures should be divided into segments, that simulation and hands-on demonstration be incorporated in the curriculum, and that repetition should be allowed during instruction to accommodate different learning styles and increase students’ confidence. These findings have implications for positive social change by improving the transfer of theory from the classroom to the clinical setting through use of a newly developed 9-week participative curriculum project for nursing students in the childbearing class. Improved preparation of graduates will increase safe care of patients in the community.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to explore the conceptions of academics at the NMMU concerning the nature and purpose of teaching portfolios in higher education. The study was guided by the following research question: What are the conceptions of academics concerning the nature and purpose of teaching portfolios in higher education? A case study, involving academics at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU), was used to answer the research question. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods research design was employed to collect data from an electronic questionnaire consisting of Likert-scale type of responses and open-ended questions, followed by two focus group interviews with academics that had prior experience in the development of a teaching portfolio. Forty-five academics responded to the questionnaire sent to all the academics at the NMMU, providing a broad perspective on the conceptions of NMMU academics regarding the nature and purpose of teaching portfolios. The two focus group interviews were conducted with six and eight academics respectively who was purposively chosen for their prior experience with the development of teaching portfolios. The aim of the focus group interviews were to elaborate on the data generated by the questionnaire. The quantitative data gathered by the questionnaire was statistically analysed, generating descriptive statistics of the Likert type response statements. The transcripts of the focus group interviews were thematically analysed. The conceptual framework that initially guided the formulation of the sub-research questions was amended to include the themes that emerged from the thematic analysis of the data, namely: the portfolio development process, the uses of and purposes for developing teaching portfolios, the attitudes of academics towards teaching portfolios, and the benefits gained from the development of teaching portfolios. The findings of the study revealed that of the participants find work overload and additional responsibilities as major constraints and collaboration among peers as the most helpful factor in the development of a teaching portfolio. The findings further revealed that the majority of the participants identified items to be included in a teaching portfolio that would enable them to use the portfolio in the development of their teaching. A mixture of attitudes towards teaching portfolios was identified. Some academics (in particular those who have prior experience in the development of portfolios) displayed a positive attitude towards teaching portfolios, while participants reported a negative attitude towards teaching portfolios by most of their colleagues (mostly those who have not developed a portfolio yet). The negative attitudes do seem to overpower the positive attitudes towards teaching portfolios. The challenge to the NMMU would therefore be to get academics to make use of the initiatives provided by the NMMU to assist them with the teaching portfolio development process. Four recommendations that may serve as guidelines to assist in the successful implementation of teaching portfolios at the NMMU were made, based on the findings of the study. Although the results of this study cannot be generalized to other higher education institutions, they do provide insights in the conception of the academics regarding the nature and purpose of teaching portfolios at the NMMU that can be of benefit to other higher education institutions.

Abstract:

Both electronic note-taking (typing) and traditional note-taking (handwriting) are being utilized by college students to retain information. The effects of the method of note-taking and note-taking context were examined to determine if handwriting or typing notes and whether a lecture context or a textbook-reading context influenced retention. Pitzer College and Scripps College students were assigned to either handwrite or type notes on a piece of academic material presented in either a lecture or textbook context and were given a test to assess their retention. The results demonstrated that there was a significant main effect for typing notes such that typing notes produced higher retention scores than handwriting notes. The results also indicated that there was an interaction between method of note-taking and context such that the lowest scores were achieved in the condition in which participants handwrote notes during a lecture. In total, these findings suggest that typing as a method of note-taking may by an influential factor in memory retention, particularly in a lecture context.

This purpose of this doctoral project is to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing a new education methodology in teaching systematic theology. The project assesses the level of engagement and application seminary students are able to gauge in their classroom experiences. The intervention methodology is called the ?sermonic/narrative? and it was applied as the andragogical methodology in systematic theology courses at Alliance Theological Seminary. In explaining the conceptual framework, studying the theological foundations, and researching the effectiveness of the methodology, this study has shown that the sermonic/narrative approach is more effective in engaging students in the classroom experience than the traditional lecture methods. Additionally, students were able to more readily apply the lessons they had been exposed to when being taught through the sermonic/narrative method. Although student performance levels were not evaluated in this study, the literature will show that deeper engagement in classroom experiences leads to better student learning.

Abstract:

L'originalité de la philosophie de Henri Bergson réside sans doute dans le rôle accordé à l'intuition de la durée contre les catégories statiques de l'intelligence. Mais Bergson a surtout forgé, contre le monisme, le dualisme et le pluralisme, une nouvelle méthode de penser d'inspiration rythmico-mélodique ou la fonction d'opposition et du tiers-inclus peut être comprise comme une << dualitude complexe >>. Dans cette thèse nous avons tenté d'approfondir et d'élargir ainsi la méthode et la philosophie bergsoniennes sous l'angle de la << dualitude >> de J. -J. Wunenburger qui nous oriente vers une troisième voie intermédiaire du philosopher autrement. Selon cette troisième voie du << philosopher bergsonien >>, nous trouvons finalement chez H. Bergson un nouveau rationalisme, c'est-à-dire une reconstruction continuelle du rationnel. Elle s'intègre dans le mouvement créateur de la pensée de l'entre-deux ainsi qu'à la philosophie moderne de construction et à la philosophie postmoderne de déconstruction, explorant un nouveau domaine philosophique, celui du << mélange subtil >>. C'est là où réside l'originalité fondamentale de la démarche bergsonienne de qualité et de souplesse qui nous permet la liberté et la création philosophiques, proches et dignes d'un << philosopher originel >>.

However, the secondary school physics teachers in Bangladesh in this study did not provide students with practical work during classroom teaching. Rather, they provided practical work in separate practical classes. Although the teachers believed that practical work made their teaching and also students’ learning easier and effective, they did not offer frequent practical demonstrations in teaching the contents of physics. The major findings of the study include that teachers used mostly transmissive pedagogy to assist students to understand physics concepts and theories. Even though there are clear and specific instructions for the teachers to do demonstrations in the secondary physics curriculum, there were constraints on teachers and on students trying to conduct practical work. Constraints included: a lack of sufficient equipment. Teachers and students in non-government schools faced comparatively more difficulties than those in government schools. Low teacher/student ratios and no positions for laboratory assistants were reasons given for teachers’ intense workloads. This study implies a need to provide government and non-government schools with necessary equipment for doing practical work; to appoint sufficient teachers with higher studies and training that includes practical work in physics; to create positions for laboratory assistants; to set up classrooms with a smaller number of students; and to develop awareness of the value of practical work among school administration and among physics teachers.

Abstract:

Educators, parents, and concerned citizens have always taken a special interest in education and the outcomes thereof.This interest, however, started mushrooming in the 1960s (Keefe, 1987; Sharan, 1990). During this time research centered on various instructional methods. Much of this research tended to use cooperative learning as an instructional method. David and Roger Johnson and Robert Slavin have been very active in cooperative learning research and its implementation. For the most part, cooperative learning research has been directed toward the elementary and secondary levels of education. These studies have shown positive results regarding student achievement, race, and social relationships, mainstreaming, and other positive student reactions. The major purpose of this study was to investigate cooperative learning as an instructional strategy at the college level. Measurements were made involving achievement, computer anxiety, attitude toward Computer Science, and the relationship between a student's field independent/dependent nature and achievement, Attitude was measured using the Purdue Master Attitude Scale, while anxiety was measured using the Test Attitude Inventory-Worry Scale. Achievement was measured from the scores on written tests, performance tests, and quizzes. Lastly, field independence was calculated from the score that each student obtained on the Group Embedded Figures Test. The subjects consisted of students enrolled in two general education classes and two database software classes. Anxiety, attitude, and the student's field independent or field dependent nature played no role in a student's overall achievement in any of the classes. The general education students taught via cooperative learning had statistically higher achievements than did the students who were taught using the lecture method of instruction. The achievements of the students in the database classes, were slightly higher in the class taught using cooperative learning. However, the differences in achievement between the two classes could not be substantiated statistically. The conclusions, findings and recommendations for further research are presented. in summary, cooperative learning helped general education students in overall achievement, while at the same time it did not adversely affect the vast majority of the other students.
