INTRODUCTION Although medical students are increasingly exposed to clinical experiences as part of their training, these often occur parallel with, rather than connected to, their classroom-based learning experiences. Additionally, students seem to struggle with spontaneously making the connection between these spheres of their training themselves. Therefore, this systematic review synthesized ...

Research suggests that promoting adaptive approaches to learning early in childhood may help close the gap between advantaged and disadvantaged children. Recent research has identified specific child-level and classroom-level variables that are significantly associated with preschoolers' approaches to learning. However, further research is needed to understand the interactive effects of these v...

Professor Scott Overmyer of Baker College, in a discussion list post, raised four points bearing on a question of interest to those involved in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL): Can Distance and Classroom Learning Be Increased? My answer: “YES” judging from the fact that pre/post testing in courses in Newtonian mechanics has demonstrated an approximately two-standard-deviation su...

Nowadays, eLearning has been adapted in all educational institutes, starting from kindergartens, primary schools, high schools, to the universities. Teachers are encouraged to use computer and Internet as a teaching medium in addition to the classroom teaching. The result is a blended learning which combines eLearning as a supplementary learning means to classroom learning. The issue becomes wh...

The flipped classroom, often referenced as “flipping the classroom”, is a teaching and learning model in which the students spend a short period of time learning the basic concepts outside the classroom prior to the introduction of the concept topic in the classroom setting, and then use class time for authentic experiences such as problem solving. This action research study described the imple...

This paper is not about the physical classroom, but about adult students approaching the difficult work that is learning. It is not about the classroom conditions schools provide, but about the actions teachers take that define the classroom learning environment. Where there was once only the traditional classroom with chalkboards, tables and chairs, there are now two new learning environments:...

abstract one of the main concerns in educational settings has been the degree of the learners’ involvement in learning and the extent to which they actively participate in classroom talks and interactions. the present study is an emic-based ethnographic study aimed at providing insights about patterns of talk and different degrees of interaction in efl university classes with a specific focus o...

There is little doubt that the advent of collaborative technologies in recent years has brought some significant changes in the way students learn, communicate, and interact with one another. In recent years, this emergence has sparked increased interest for research into the role and impact of instructional technologies on group learning. Despite the widespread use of different instructional t...

According to previous research, affective aspects are, when successfully applied, presumed to increase cognitive learning in the language classroom. The research present on the affective domain was deemed insufficient since few observations in language classrooms had been made. This study gives a view on how affective teaching and learning are applied in a Swedish EFL classroom. Teacher-student...
