There has been a paradigm shift in the teaching strategies fromdidactic or teacher-centered to more vibrant student centeredapproaches. For the last five decades, small group teaching(SGT) has been a hallmark of this reorientation of educationalstrategies especially in medical schools, which use problem-basedlearning as a core educational tool. The key strength of ...

As more and more colleges and universities offer courses designed in the e-learning format, quality of instruction and student performance are becoming, progressively more, issues that need to be addressed. This study is an attempt to add to the literature on student performance in traditional and e-learning environments as well as exploring student-centered and learner-centered as an instructi...

Our paper proposes a new pedagogical approach for learning chemistry practical experiments based on three modes of inquiry-based learning namely; structured, guided and open. Online Labs (OLabs) is a web-based learning environment for science practical experiments that include simulations, animations, tutorials and assessments. Inquiry-based learning is a pedagogy that supports student-centered...

task-based learning is a teaching method that focuses onmeaningful learning through completely student-centered homework assignment.the present study investigated the effects of task-based teaching throughdrawing the concept map as homework on the academic achievement and easier andmore effective learning of metabolic pathways of biochemistry course inpharmaceutical students. having examined th...

Student centered learning in Engineering thermodynamics has a large potential, but is also associated with some difficulties. As way to facilitate a student centered learning, a project based on the compressor cycle was developed for and investigated for a course in Engineering thermodynamics for first year students. The project was evaluated based on interviews during the project, and a survey...
