Transactional distance has been defined as barriers to students' engagement with learning in the online environment. This research updates Zhang's (2003) scale of transactional distance, which quantified extent barriers, light massive changes today's web-based The resulting revised (RSTD) is a parsimonious version 12 elements (compared 31 original) that measure between student and teacher, student, content. RSTD excellent factorial validity reliability, yields better fit statistics, easier...
Case-based learning is an interactive group approach that embodies the principles of Socratic inquiry. It a common pedagogy used in many disciplines including business, law, and health. With online being fastest growing segment higher education, case-based also finding its way into courses. This research was conducted on population 698 students enrolled The use Structural Equation Modelling provided understanding factors influence student satisfaction. Through Logistics Regression, extent to...
Based on the Theory of Transactional Distance and Needs Assessment, this article reports a procedure for quantitatively measuring how close actual delivery course was to ideal, as perceived by students. It extends Zhang's instrument prescribes computational steps calculate relative proximity at element construct level. Radar graphs are shown provide useful visualization proximity. Stepwise multiple regression is used determine impact changes in student satisfaction. This allows...
ABSTRACT This article applies Deming's Plan‐Do‐Study‐Act (PDSA) cycle of continual improvement to a course taught with both blended and online sections. It uses Relative Proximity Theory, an extension the Theory Transactional Distance, measure quality online/blended learning as function obstacles student's full engagement course. These can arise because transactions fellow students, instructor, content, or from instructional technology used in Using stepwise multiple regression, most...
ABSTRACT We show how the principles of flipped learning that have been successfully applied to analytics classes taught face‐to‐face (F2F) at undergraduate and graduate levels were emulated in corresponding online classes. Student satisfaction was compared student F2F Data collected between Spring 2016 Fall 2018 semesters involved two instructors with a sample 726 students. The results an independent samples t ‐test showed there no significant difference offerings. A binary logistics...
Interactive methods for multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) utilize preference information from makers to search improved solutions. What is the impact on quality of solutions generated, if this inaccurate? This question explored in context a Tchebycheff-based interactive MCDM procedure. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Relative proximity theory contributes to the concept of distance in education by defining how far a current learning environment is from an ideal environment. As Moore's (1993 Moore, M. G. (1993). Theory transactional distance. In D. Keegan (Ed.), Theoretical principles (1st ed., pp. 22–28). Routledge. [Google Scholar]) distance, it defines as psychosocial phenomenon but provides specificity seminal for at providing specific answer question "How close are we?" our continual journey provide...
ABSTRACT This paper provides data on the first application of a prototype AXIS solution framework. (algorithms combined with knowledge systems in an interactive sequence) is framework for interactively combining structured algorithms that seek best knowledge‐based expert heuristic solutions. tests using multiple objective integer programming algorithm heuristics taken from domain aggregate production planning. The results indicate can be successful generating high quality solutions, vastly...
