Instructional Choices, Student Participation, and the Construction of Knowledge in a Social Studies Learning EnvironmentJanuary 2018 (has links)
abstract: The purpose of this action research study was to explore the impact instructional choices had on student participation in the classroom learning environment, growth of knowledge in social studies, and self-efficacy in the learning process. The instructional choices implemented through a flipped learning instructional approach were designed to target motivation and participation in the learning process via individualized student-learning opportunities. This action research study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of collaborative student-centered learning environments to traditional instructional style learning environments. This study provided students with opportunities to analyze, think critically of, and apply studied content in a Participation in Government course to their personal lives through experiential out-of-class assignments and collaborative hands-on in-class activities. The theoretical foundations for this study include social cognitive theory, theory of self-efficacy, and social constructivism. Participants included 32 high school seniors from the High School of Fashion Industries in New York, NY. Participants completed a pre-/post-self-efficacy survey, pre/posttest measuring their knowledge of government, and several short interviews. Eight participants, four from the Treatment group and four from the Control group, completed a semi-structured interview at the conclusion of the study. Results showed participants experienced an increase in self-efficacy and participation in the learning process. Participants from the Treatment group outperformed the participants from the Control group with regards to knowledge of government. In the discussion, outcomes related to the theoretical frameworks and the problem of practice were discussed. Finally, limitations and a discussion regarding future iterations of the action research in a larger context were outlined. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Leadership and Innovation 2018

Digital undervisning i textilslöjden : -en undersökning av digitala hjälpmedel och nätbaserad kommunikationFjällborg, Anna January 2014 (has links)
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur lärare kan utveckla sin undervisning med hjälp av digitala hjälpmedel och ta del av andra lärares erfarenheter med att arbeta med sådana hjälpmedel i slöjd, hem- och konsumentkunskap. Frågorna var; hur bidrar digitala hjälpmedel till att förbättra undervisningen i slöjden; Vilka för- och nackdelar upplever lärare av att arbeta med digitala verktyg; Hur väljer estetiska ämneslärare att kommunicera via nätbaserade kommunikationstjänster och vilka positiva, negativa konsekvenser har det kommunikationsvalet fört med sig? Tre olika metoder har använts för att samla in data till studien, deltagande observationer på en grundskola, aktioner för att designa undervisningen med digitala verktyg och intervjuer med lärare inom estetämnen. Enligt lärarna visade det sig att mer digitala redskap i undervisningen ökar elevers motivation. Digitala verktyg som mobiltelefoner distraherar elever dock, det bör finnas tydliga regler för dess användning. Kommunikation via nätet kan skapa ett bättre samarbete lärare och elever emellan. Vissa nätbaserade tjänster kan föra med sig risker såsom intrång och att elevers nätaktiviteter spåras. Lärplattformar har högre skydd mot intrång, men användarvänligheten är lägre. Detta leder till att de inte används i den utsträckning som det är tänkt. Flipped classroom ger fler möjligheter för elever att ta del av undervisningen, men handledning av en lärare är ändå att föredra.

Student Perceptions of Flipped Learning in a High School Math ClassroomStrohmyer, Daniel 01 January 2016 (has links)
Flipped classrooms are implemented in more schools each year, particularly in courses requiring increased teacher guidance for mastery. While a foundation of research related to pedagogy and academic outcomes exists, research is limited surrounding student perceptions of the social and learning culture during flipped learning. The purpose of this study was to explore high school math students' lived experiences of flipped learning related to content and instruction, critical thinking, and collaboration and interactions. A phenomenological design was employed using a conceptual framework combining cognitive load theory, sociocultural learning theory, and schema theory. Students from two public high schools in the Midwest participated. Seven students participated in interviews, and nine students participated in two focus group discussions. Data analysis involved in vivo coding of transcribed interviews and focus groups. Key results included students' perceptions of increased engagement and interactions, as well as more in-depth learning in flipped environments. Increased critical thinking was related to both instructional strategies employed and students' ability to self-regulate learning. Concepts of peer collaboration shifted as students viewed learning environments and sources of expertise as more extensive in the flipped environment. This study contributes to positive social change by providing educators and researchers with a deeper understanding of the importance of ensuring students are competent in using social technology tools that encourage students to interact both socially and academically in order to help them become more self-directed learners.

An Evidence-Based Approach to Library Instruction: Flipping the Classroom to Enhance Student LearningMaddison, Tasha, Doi, Carolyn 25 March 2015 (has links)
The flipped teaching methodology is well documented within the education research literature, growing in popularity within university classrooms and making its way into library instruction. In light of current technological trends affecting higher education, libraries are challenged to explore new approaches to library instruction including strategies for inclusion of online classrooms, distributed learners, and interactive technologies. This presentation will include a summary of the research evidence on flipped teaching and its value for inclusion in library instruction. It will also look at the application of this evidence as applied to two case studies at the University of Saskatchewan Library and preliminary findings on outcomes from these cases.
This presentation is relevant to why librarians are conducting research by highlighting the benefits of using research evidence to inform the practice of library instruction, to create better instructional tools and to meet the learning needs of today’s students. This presentation also links to research being done by librarians, as it documents an in-progress research project on the efficacy of the flipped classroom for library instruction. / Slides presented at the C-EBLIP Fall Symposium in Saskatoon, SK, in October 2014

Shifting Landscape: Integrating Flipped Teaching Practices in Information Literacy InstructionMaddison, Tasha 16 April 2015 (has links)
ARCL STS IL Chat Presentation on March 20, 2015 at 3:00 PM EST. This chat session will begin with a short presentation about three separate applications of flipped teaching in the College of Engineering, University of Saskatchewan. The Engineering Librarian used this pedagogy to deliver information literacy instruction to Civil Engineering students in their 2nd and 4th year of study in design heavy courses. The chat that follows is expected to generate thoughtful discussion about how flipped teaching could be applied in your own practice. Possible considerations include class size, location of class (computer lab availability), ability to collaborate with a faculty member, time, what you will cover in the tutorial and what lecture content will be. / If you wish to listen to the audio recording of this chat session, please use the following link: http://ala.adobeconnect.com/p5wdr3dahza/.

Matematikundervisning i det virtuella klassrummet : Flipped Classroom i praktikenEmanuelsson, Tobias January 2014 (has links)
Syftet var att undersöka en grupp elevers upplevelser efter att ha undervisats enligt undervisningsmetoden Flipped Classroom. Flipped Classroom skiljer sig från vanlig traditionellundervisning då läraren inte längre föreläser framför eleverna, utan låter sina elever ta åt sig materialet utanför lektionstimmen. Lektionstimmen spenderas istället till gruppuppgifter och diskussioner angående materialet samt också en stor del till eget arbete. Undervisningsmetoden har tidigare visat sig ha tagits emot väl av studenter på universitetsnivå, då de känt en högre delaktigheti sitt lärande och kunnat reflektera över andras tankemönster. En gymnasiegrupp med 13 elever undervisades av mig enligt Flipped Classroom. Elevernasupplevelser av denna undervisningsform har undersökts med en kvalitativ metod därdatainsamlingen genomförts med semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Resultatet visar att en stor majoritet av eleverna var nöjda och positiva till undervisningen. Dekände en större delaktighet i sitt lärande, kände ett större stöd från läraren och ett ansvar som i stor grad sågs som positivt, då de fick större kontroll över sin utbildning. Eleverna uttryckte att de fann det mycket positivt att de fick en större del av lektionen till aktivt arbete och att de kunde skapa sigen större framförhållning till lektionen, istället för att de passivt intog materialet genom föreläsningar på tavlan.

Breaking Ground: Improving Undergraduate Engineering Projects through Flipped Teaching of Literature Search TechniquesMaddison, Tasha, Beneteau, Donna, Sokoloski, Brandy 15 December 2014 (has links)
This case study describes the use of flipped teaching for information literacy instruction in a new course, Drill, Blast, and Excavate GeoE 498, within the mining option for geological engineering (GeoE) students. These students will enter the mining industry with less discipline-specific knowledge than a student that graduated with a degree in mining engineering, yet on-the-job training provided by the employer will fill in most of the technical gaps. Engineers in the workplace can connect to information sources online and do not need to rely solely on co-workers, short courses, and conferences for upgrading their knowledge. With this in mind, we developed a flipped teaching assignment to teach students how to effectively and efficiently access electronic information on topics faced by geological engineers in the field. The course included a research project that allowed the students to practice these information retrieval and evaluation techniques so as to better prepare them for the working world. Student feedback revealed a high level of engagement in the discovery of these research strategies and the instructor noted that these techniques were applied successfully in the students written reports and oral presentations.

IMPACT OF FLIPPED CLASSROOM MODEL ON STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES FOR UNIVERSITY FITNESS/WELLNESS LEARNERSUnknown Date (has links)
The purpose of this quasi experimental, two group pretest posttest quantitative design study was to explore the influence of content delivery method for a lifetime fitness or wellness course on the impact of student learning outcomes. Also, student satisfaction of the course and instructor were examined. Specifically, two teaching methods of instruction were examined: the flipped classroom model (FCM) and the traditional lecture model (TLM). Cheng, Ritzhaupt, and Antonenko’s (2019) “Effects of the Flipped Classroom Instructional Strategy on Students’ Learning Outcomes: A Meta-Analysis,” which looked at 55 publications between 2000 and 2016, found statistically significant results in favor of the flipped classroom instructional strategy on student learning outcomes. Therefore, it was hypothesized that the flipped classroom model would improve undergraduate students’ learning outcomes of understanding of health content knowledge, physical activity level, physical fitness, and course satisfaction for a college-level lifetime fitness or wellness course as opposed to the traditional lecture class normally taught. Pretest and posttest data were collected. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2020. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
