Instructors continually seek new, innovative approaches to engage students in the classroom. With the widespread availability of tablet technology, instructors now have a new tool to utilize during classroom instruction. Our paper is an exploratory study to understand not only the impacts of bringing this technology into the class, but how a student's learning style may impact tablet effectiven...

Previous research (Lund, 2015) has shown that different classroom learning environments (including course level, class size, and classroom layout) will lead to different distributions of the four general COPUS instructional styles (Lecturing, Socratic Instruction, Peer Instruction, and Collaborative Learning). Among our classroom observations of chemistry, biology, and physics departments for t...

Real-time interactive virtual classroom with tele-education experience is an important type of distance learning, while the current available systems are not able to connect different classrooms in open network for intercontinental and intercultural learning. Open Smart Classroom, which is an upgrade learning system based on Smart Classroom using Web Service technology, provides more extensible...

Because Human Anatomy and Physiology (A&P), a gateway course for allied health majors, has high dropout rates nationally, it is challenging to find a successful pedagogical intervention. Reports on the effect of integration of flipped classrooms and whether it improves learning are contradictory for different disciplines. Thus many educators are reluctant to explore the value of flipped classro...

Flipping the classroom is a current pedagogical innovation in many schools and universities. Although interest in flipped classroom (or Inverted Classroom) continues to grow, its implementation so far has been driven more by teachers’ intuitive beliefs, rather than empirically-based principles. Many studies merely replace in-class instructions with videos and use class time for group discussion...

the purpose of educational technology is to facilitate, develop, and strengthen teaching-learning processes. computer-assisted language education technology is developed as a result of introducing information and communication technology in humanities. this technology has a multidisciplinary nature and is based on investigations carried out in theoretical and practical principles of applied lin...

The research suggests that teachers need to keep abreast of new ideas about student learning and effective strategies for enhancing that learning, and that professional learning is an essential aspect of improving practice at the classroom level. Furthermore, the evidence suggests that traditional approaches to professional development, usually delivered away from the school and focusing on tea...

Research was conducted on associations between classroom psychosocial environment in mathematics classrooms and academic efficacy. A sample of 3,602 mathematics students from Australian, British and Canadian secondary schools responded to an instrument that assessed 10 dimensions of mathematics classroom environment (viz. Student Cohesiveness, Teacher Support, Investigation, Task Orientation, C...
