BACKGROUND Most classroom observation studies have documented significant deficiencies in the classroom attention of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) compared to their typically developing peers. The magnitude of these differences, however, varies considerably and may be influenced by contextual, sampling, diagnostic, and observational differences. METHODS Meta-an...

This paper introduces Topic-INdependent Gamification Learning Environment (TINGLE), a framework designed to increase student motivation and engagement in the classroom through the use of a game played outside the classroom. A 131-person study was implemented in a construction management course. Game statistics and survey responses were recorded to estimate the effect of the game and correlation...

The Bahama Banks represent an environment of carbonate sedimentation widespread in the past but extremely rare today. Its occurrence presents the geologist with the opportunity of learning firsthand about geologic processes once prevalent on the earth's surface, but he has been slow to take advantage of the opportunity and slower to use the Bahama story in the classroom. Some literature on the ...

This paper introduces a suite of Window Managers purposed for the technologically enhanced classroom. The overall objective is to instantiate a common look and feel across various classroom artifacts, thus providing a unified working environment for the students and teachers. To achieve optimal interaction and application display, the workspaces for each artifact are designed keeping in mind bo...

The study is conducted to figure out the relationship between procrastinating behavior, and the instructor’s teaching behavior perceived by the learners in University e-learning setting and classroom community sense, class environment in the e-learning situation. Objects of the study are 367 students attending e-learning classes in C University located in Daejeon. The test data from Teaching Im...

This paper describes the design and implementation of a technology-rich STEM classroom in a secondary school associated with a comprehensive U.S. Midwestern university. Built to address a waning interest in STEM and STEM careers, this classroom offers multiple technologies and an engaging, flexible physical space that together create an innovative learning environment. A participatory design ap...

Feminist pedagogy is a theory about the teaching/learning process that guides our choice of classroom practices by providing criteria to evaluate specific educational strategies and techniques in terms of the desired course goals or outcomes. These evaluative criteria include the extent to which a community of learners is empowered to act responsibly toward one another and the subject matter an...

As the theoretical foundations of bibliographic instruction are examined increasingly in the context of learning theory and teaching methods, comparisons with the classroom environment found in academic settings are inevitable. The specific role of humor in the college classroom and its effect upon both learning and the communicative climate has been of interest to educational researchers, prod...
