The purpose of this study was to investigate instructor perspectives on the implementation flipped classrooms in large enrolment classrooms. Five instructors teaching different disciplines – ranging from mechanical engineering sociology were purposefully selected provide in-depth analysis process converting a traditional course format. findings indicated that approach broke social code courses by shrinking and empowering students. Benefits challenges format brings are discussed...

The flipped-classroom approach has gained increasing popularity and interest in engineering education. purpose of this study was to investigate (a) student perspectives on the a transportation-engineering course (b) how students used in-class time dedicated collaborative problem solving. To end, adopted mixed-methods approach. Quantitative data included an end-of-semester survey grades. Qualitative information from focus-group interviews with video recordings that demonstrated selected...

Abstract Active learning approach, an umbrella term for a multitude of instructional methods that require students to actively participate in the process, has gained increasing popularity engineering education. Based on complexity and time requirement, active can take many different forms from simply pausing lecture asking write summary what been covered them collaboratively work real-world problems projects. The effectiveness strategies compared traditional when implemented well,...

Transitioning from undergraduate education to the professional curriculum of veterinary medicine poses serious challenges for many students in their first year. Several academic and personal factors contribute face this critical period. This study investigated affecting performance semester Doctor Veterinary Medicine (DVM) program. The research focused on interplay variables including preparedness, science GPA, major, anxiety, perceived curricular difficulty, expectancy future success,...

Abstract Hybrid learning, interchangeably referred as blended is an educational approach that combines traditional face-­‐to-­‐face education with online learning. courses have gained popularity among faculty, students, and institutions, so it important to understand why faculty members choose convert their hybrid format. This study, conducted in a major Midwestern university, will present the results of qualitative case-­‐study documenting experiences four instructors, who could be...

Abstract The flipped classroom approach has gained increasing popularity in higher education, particularly STEM fields. In learning, part or all of direct instruction is delivered through online videos and other media, the class time used for engaging students collaborative, hands-on activities. order to utilize benefits this novel teaching approach, a junior-level, introduction transportation engineering course was converted into format. This study, conducted major Midwestern university,...

Clinical reasoning (CR) is an important clinical competency for effective veterinary practice. We hypothesized that implementing explicit 7-week CR curriculum taught in a large-enrollment elective cardiology course would improve students' awareness of principles, self-efficacy skills, and application principles case analyses. A secondary aim was to assess the impact peer review as means providing feedback large classroom setting. mixed method approach used with students ( N = 78) meeting...

Curriculum review is a required and essential part of the continuous improvement process to ensure that all elements curriculum are integrated help students achieve intended outcomes. It also an effective way avoiding disparity between knowledge skills gain throughout their education in practice. One commonly used analysis approach mapping, which requires extensive labor time commitment. This best practice paper describes development search tool utilizes novel computational techniques from...

Abstract As an innovative pedagogy, flipped classroom approach enables instructors to move direct instruction out of class and convert time a dynamic learning environment where students engage in teamwork, problem‐solving, other interactive activities. Previous research has concluded that, when implemented well, the potential not only increase gain but also improve students’ professional skills such as communication, life‐long learning, which are deemed be critical engineering education...

Computer vision has the potential to play a significant role in capacity building for classroom instructors via automated feedback. This paper describes implementation of an sensing and feedback system, TEACHActive. The results this can enable other campuses replicate similar system using open-source software consumer-grade hardware. Some challenges discussed include faculty recruitment, IRB procedures, camera-based footage privacy, hardware setup, IT support. design TEACHActive is being...

There are currently seventeen ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) accredited construction engineering programs in the United States 245 civil programs. Every 6 years these undergo a stringent review to assure that meet quality standards expected profession. As part of this review, must demonstrate upon graduation, students have achieved set eleven student outcomes, affectionately known as (a) through (k). These outcomes same, regardless which program they being applied,...

The inclusion of technology in education has opened the door for more innovative methods teaching. By integrating technology, instructors can leverage individualized nature self-guided learning while maintaining a classroom structure. A commonly used approach to this mix and pedagogy is hybrid learning, which includes student-driven component students interact with online materials outside then engage collaborative work or problem-solving activities during class time. purpose study examine...

The COVID-19 outbreak forced educators worldwide to transition remote teaching, which caught most of the instructors and students off-guard. Instructors had quickly adapt find effective substitute teaching methods during this unprecedented period, while maintain motivation engagement in learning process. As with all educational levels disciplines, assessment veterinary medicine were change adjustment period. biggest concern regarding experiences was potential loss caused by disruption. This...
