Today e-learning is blooming as a vital part of digital age education which facilitates a virtual environment for enhanced interaction & engagement between teachers and fellow learners and to engage them with resources for effective learning. Despite having significant potential, the Google classroom is still vastly underutilized especially in developing countries e.g. Bangladesh. This study is...

Drawing on Bandura's triadic reciprocal causation model, perceived classroom environment and three intrapersonal factors (mathematics self-efficacy, maths interest and academic self-concept) were considered as predictors of test performance in two correlated mathematics assessments: a public examination (GCSE) and an on-line test, both taken by UK pupils at age 16 (n = 6689). Intrapersonal fact...

Recent innovations in formative assessment have turned the spotlight on the implementation of assessment for learning in the classroom. Notwithstanding a considerable wealth of research on assessment for learning in mainstream education, few research studies in the field of language teaching thus far have touched upon assessment for learning. This quantitative study investigated Iranian English...

The Smart Classroom project explores the challenges and potentials of the Intelligent Environment as a new human-computer interaction paradigm. By constructing an intelligent classroom for tele-education, we try to provide teachers the same experiences as in an ordinary classroom when giving teleeducation lessons. The Smart Classroom could actively observe, listen and serve the teachers, and te...

The progress of multimedia and information technology has brought forth a lot of capabilities to realize advanced educational environment. Using a notebook computer with a portable LCD projector enables educators to introduce an interactive electronic chalkboard into a classroom. Along with technological advances, classroom technology has been studied to improve a conventional lecture style in ...

This research paper explores the relationship between “student-to-other” closeness within a large-scale introductory engineering class and student performance as measured by final grade. Aron and Aron have developed the theory of self-expansion through their work on “including other in the self” (IOS) and have shown that self-expansion can have many benefits including sharing of resources and g...

BACKGROUND There has been a vigorous debate for many years about the educational effects of class size differences, but even if differences have an impact on pupils' academic progress this still leaves unanswered important questions about what mediates the effect. AIMS This paper is informed by a classroom contextual perspective, and examines associations between class size and within class g...

It is widely recognized that we need to know more about effects of class size on classroom interactions and pupil behavior. This paper extends research by comparing effects on pupil classroom engagement and teacherepupil interaction, and examining if effects vary by pupil attainment level and between primary and secondary schools. Systematic observations were carried out on 686 pupils in 49 sch...

This article introduces a new framework for articulating how educational assessments can be related to teacher uses in the classroom. It articulates three levels of assessment: macro (use standardized tests), meso (externally developed items), and micro (on-the-fly classroom). The first level is usual context measurement, but one contributions this that it mainly focuses on latter two levels. C...
