A Teacher–Researcher Partnership for Professional Learning: Co-Designing Project-Based Learning Units to Increase Student Engagement in Science Classes

Project-Based Learning in Student Teams in Computer Science Education

Designing information systems according to user requirements is crucial for software developers. In computer science education, acquiring necessary social skills to elicit and define those requirements is underdeveloped. We introduce a studentcentered, project-based learning approach with a student team project, which tries to support these learning processes. Based on existing examples for pro...

Leveraging LMSs to Enhance Campus-Based Student Engagement Learning management systems influence student engagement and learning

We need to better understand the influence of learning management systems (LMSs) on student engagement in order to use these powerful technologies to improve campus-based education. Over the past 10 years, online learning management has been adopted by many campus-based institutions, becoming almost ubiquitous in many parts of the world. These systems have profound yet uncertain implications fo...

The development of gamified learning activities to increase student engagement in learning

In the literature, the potential efficacy of the gamification of education has been demonstrated. The aim of this study was to explore the influence of applying gamification techniques to increase student engagement in learning. The quasiexperimental nonequivalent-control group design was used with 577 undergraduate students from six classes. The students in three of the classes were assigned t...

Increasing student engagement in learning

Three decades after the first computer was introduced into school classrooms, educational technology remains surprisingly controversial. This paper provides a forum for informed use of technology in the context of emergent research from the learning sciences. Today's schools cite a myriad of purposes for technology in schools, including improved teaching, leadership, and decision making, as wel...
