Evaluating the Impact of an ELearning resource upon the attainment of Year 8 pupils during their Design and technology home learning project.
The document summarizes research from the Marzano Research Lab on using interactive whiteboards and clicker devices to enhance instruction and assessment. The research found that using interactive whiteboards was associated with an average 16 percentile point gain in student achievement. When used by an experienced teacher with extensive training who used the board 75% of the time, achievement gains increased to an impressive 29 percentiles. However, the technologies were only effective when supported by good instructional practices like individualizing instruction, collaborative work, engaging content, and using data to improve. Simply using the technologies without addressing quality or ongoing training provided no benefits and sometimes harmed achievement.
This document discusses using a One Minute paper technique for gathering student feedback in large classes. The One Minute paper asks students two questions each week to provide feedback on what they learned and what needs more explanation. This feedback is collected anonymously using a learning platform to highlight areas of difficulty, engagement, and concerns shared by other students. The document also presents results from a questionnaire on using this technique with 36 students over a semester and proposes implementing a traffic light system for lecture pacing based on student understanding levels.
This is a brief overview of how to effectively use a few of the most common tools within Learn@UW/Desire2Learn for instructional purposes. Presentation given to a graduate seminar on teaching biology at Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison.
Curriculum (re)development in electrical and computer engineering v2brano1933
This document discusses curriculum redevelopment in electrical and computer engineering programs. It proposes identifying and transforming at least one course on each level of study using research-based instructional strategies like active learning, case-based teaching, and problem-based learning. This approach would improve student learning outcomes and address faculty challenges in adopting new pedagogical approaches. A multi-stage process is outlined to thoroughly analyze learning goals, implement best practices, assess results, and integrate changes across the curriculum. Participating faculty are encouraged to both adopt changes and provide feedback as the reform is expanded program-wide.
The document summarizes the four phases of conducting a needs assessment: 1) Planning - defining the audience, data to be collected, and collection methods; 2) Collecting Data - determining sample size and collecting data via surveys; 3) Analyzing Data - identifying needs categories and prioritizing needs; 4) Compiling a Final Report - with the purpose, process, quantitative and qualitative results, and recommendations. It then provides details of each phase for a needs assessment conducted at San Jacinto College to transition classes online due to COVID-19, finding most staff, instructors, and students were willing and able to participate in the new online environment.
This document summarizes research comparing the effectiveness of different active learning techniques for information literacy instruction. The researchers studied clickers, problem-based learning, and a traditional lecture style. They administered pre- and post-class assessments to measure student learning. Results showed that clickers and problem-based learning produced slightly higher gains in student skills than traditional lectures. Problem-based learning was most effective for combining concepts using Boolean operators and quotation marks. The researchers aim to further develop hybrid class models and better integrate assessments to measure long-term learning impacts.
