The term 'decolonizing the curriculum' is of high currency in higher education UK and local students' unions at these institutions. This article seeks to give a very brief history context for why this fundamental academic institutions what role libraries scholarly communication sector can play movement. I look so important black, Asian minority ethnic (BAME) othered (otherly minoritized, e.g. disabled, LGBTQ, etc.) students steps some have already taken. One themes UKSG 2019 Conference was...
With advocates like Sal Khan and Bill Gates, flipped classrooms are attracting an increasing amount of media research attention. We had heard Khan's TED talk were aware the concept inverted pedagogies in general. Yet, it really hit home when we accidentally our classroom. Our objective was to better prepare students for class. set out effectively move some course content outside class decided tweak Just-in-Time-Teaching approach (JiTT). To surprise, this - which call flip-JiTT ended up...
Technology-rich student-centered classrooms such as SCALE-UP and TEAL are designed to actively engage students. We examine what happens when the design of classroom (conventional or teacher-centered versus spaces) is consistent inconsistent with teacher's epistemic beliefs about learning teaching (traditional pedagogies). compare two types pedagogical approaches settings through a quasiexperimental 2×2 factorial design. collected data from 214 students registered in eight sections an...
The FRIENDS for Life programme is a cognitive behavioural based designed to reduce childhood anxiety and promote emotional resilience. Teachers are in unique position monitor children who at risk intervene early with preventive social learning programmes. This study was replicate very positive international evaluations of the reduction extend evidence base by investigating effects on strengths qualities such as self-concept, coping school connectedness. Further, first time an Irish context...
Peer Instruction (PI) is a widely used student-centered pedagogy, but one that differently by different instructors. While all PI instructors survey their students with conceptual questions, some do not allow to discuss peers. We studied the effect of peer discussion polling three groups (N = 86) twice on same set nine questions. The differed in tasks assigned between first and second poll: group discussed, reflected silence, third was distracted so they could neither reflect nor discuss....
We investigated the impact of introducing college students to complex adaptive systems on their subsequent mental models evolution compared those taught in same manner but with no reference systems. The students' (derived from similarity ratings 12 evolutionary terms using pathfinder algorithm) were significantly similar teachers' and correlated performance an essay evolution. Introducing facilitated understanding mechanism inheritance, evolution, role chance
The effectiveness of Peer Instruction is often associated to the importance in‐class discussions between peers. Typically, a greater number students have correct answers after peer discussions. However, other cognitive and metacognitive processes such as reflection or time‐on‐task may also explain this increase because answering conceptual questions reflect more spend time thinking about their understanding. An identical sequence was given three groups students. All were polled twice on each...
We present the design and use of myDALITE, a web-based learning platform that provides students with asynchronous peer instruction can be used in- out-of-class. Supporting active pedagogy, myDALITE engages in 1) written explanation (rationales for their answers); 2) comparison these rationales to those peers; 3) reflection on quality rationales. Furthermore, assignments provide teachers opportunity see what are thinking, before and/or after classroom instruction.
Technology-rich student-centered classrooms such as SCALE-UP and TEAL are designed to actively engage students. We examine what happens when instructors adopt the classroom but not pedagogy that goes with it. measure effect of using socio-technological spaces on students' conceptual change compare learning gains made in groups different pedagogies (active vs. conventional instruction). also correlate instructors' self-reported instructional approach (teacher-centered, student-centered) their...
We show how Error-Detection Tasks (EDT) are an effective way for students to practice giving peer feedback. In EDT, presented with a solved physics problem, prepared by fictional in-class peer, containing one or more errors - algebraic, procedural, conceptual. Students must identify and explain correct the error(s), as though they were explaining it "peer" who wrote solution. EDTs have been developed web-based learning platform (myDALITE.org) that provides asynchronous instruction such can...
To engage college students with electromagnetic waves and quantum physics, connecting course content to their everyday lives promote “photonics awareness,” a 12-week group research project on photonics-based Nobel prize was developed. The uses an inquiry-based approach is designed as five-part activity, each specific scaffold helping guide regulate inquiry.
