  1. Academic outcomes of flipped classroom learning: a meta‐analysis

    Kuo-Su Chen, Lynn Valerie Monrouxe, Yi‐Hsuan Lu, et al. · 2018 · Medical Education · 348 citations

    CONTEXT: The flipped classroom (FC), reversing lecture and homework elements of a course, is popular in medical education. The FC uses technology-enhanced pre-class learning to transmit knowledge, incorporating in-class interaction to enhance higher cognitive learning. However, the FC model is expensive and research on its effectiveness remains inconclusive. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of the FC model over traditional lecture-based (LB) learning by meta-analysis. METHODS: We systematically searched MEDLINE, PubMed, ERIC, CINAHL, EMBASE, reference lists and Association for Medical Education in Europe (AMEE) conference books.

    Michelle K. Francis, Stephanie V. Wormington, Chris S. Hulleman · 2019 · Frontiers in Psychology · 96 citations

    Although online courses are becoming increasingly popular in higher education, evidence is inconclusive regarding whether online students are likely to be academically successful, and what might account for differences in academic outcomes. In this study, we documented online and face-to-face students’ outcomes in community college mathematics courses, and whether differential outcomes could be explained as a function of students’ motivation or student characteristics (i.e., gender, underrepresented ethnic/racial minority status, first-generation college status, and adult learner status). Over 2,400 developmental mathematics students reported on their math motivation and perceptions of instr

  7. The effectiveness of traditional instructional methods in an online learning environment

    Steven B. Smith · 2019 · Digital Scholarship - UNLV (University of Nevada Reno) · 11 citations

    For more than a century, the most predominant form of instruction in higher education has been classroom-based and instructor-led. Today, this traditional approach to learning is being challenged by new technologies such as multimedia, telecommunications, and the Internet. It has been suggested that the effectiveness of traditional pedagogical methods in alternative learning environments may be resolved through the creation of a new domain for educational interaction referred to as online education (Harasim, 1990); There has been much research focused on the advantages of teaching university courses online (Davis, Odell, Abbitt, Amos, 1999; Hiltz, 1994; Harasim, 1990).
