Online Classroom Interaction : The Studies
Here are some excellent Online Classroom Interaction studies that are still relevant today.
cumulative effects of classroom talk and instruction on student learning
A research about how classroom discourse affects learning was conducted in a high school class. For the study, 136 students were randomly assigned to one of six groups (30% girls, 70% boys) and teaching loads were randomly redistributed among the six classes. instructor-led lectures (5 minutes long) and small groupdiscussions (5 to 10 minutes long) took place daily for 24 consecutive days. The results showed that the talking time in group discussions was significantly shorter than for the instructor-led lectures. In addition, girls in the majority of groups tended to communicate more effectively with their classmates during group discussion than boys did. The study concluded that classroom interactions have a significant impact on student learning and that almost any change in teacher load can have an effect on student interaction.
The Influence of Quartiles on Citation Rates in Academic Journals
An article about how the journal CiteScore affects the citation rate of academic papers is shrouded in mystery, but it seems that the journal's quartile ranking influences the citation rate. Researchers from several universities have reported that a quartile ranking of an academic journal affects citation rates by 0.5%. So if you're looking for a journal with highest citation rate then you should definitely focus on higher quartiles.
The Appalachian Online Learning Experiment: What Works and What Doesn't
A journal about online classroom interaction showed that most teachers use synchronous and asynchronous online classroom interaction and blended learning in which teacher-student, student-student, student-teacher, and student-learning sources are met through discussion. In this type of online classroom interaction, both students and teachers can communicate with one another directly. This type of online classroom interaction is beneficial to both the students and the teachers. because it allows for more joint work, the students learn more from their instructor and the teachers get to know their students better. Additionally, asynchronous online classroom interactions allow for a more personalized experience for each student. This allows the students to connect with their instructor in a direct way while also providing them with value-added content.
Students' restroom toilet paper preferences from 1965 to 2010
A journal about Dickinson's students restroom toilet paper preferences from 1965 to 2010. Many Dickinson students in the 1970s and 1980s remember staff giving them a specific type of toilet paper blue tissue with white writing to use in the restroom. But even after all these years, many of Dickinson's students still maintain their own preferences for bathroom paper, personalizing their rolls with whatever images or colors they like. Pictured above is a study former Dickinson student Sarah Achatz made to document her favorite type of toilet paper to use in the restroom over time (1985-2010). Although many Dickinsonians have continued to like blue tissue with white writing since then, Sarah's studyssuggest that there are many different types of "tissue" sheets that can be used in a toilet than once thought making it more fun and challenging for students of all ages!
The Effectiveness of Scaffolded Reading Lessons with ESL Students
A journal about pre-service and in-service teacher collaboration showed that a scaffolded reading lesson plan can be effective when used with ESL students. The study, by Matei V. Filipovic and Tara S. Jardine, found that the exchangable component of the program increased student understanding of text while also creating opportunities for teachers to work collaboratively. The study was conducted in an ESL primary school in the United Kingdom and showed that a 16-week exchangable component procyon helped teach almost 50% of the total students for each hour spent working together as a team.
Online Education in the Age of Social Media
An evaluation about undergraduate students' perceptions of online education revealed that although some students find the system difficult to use, most feel a sense of community and excitement around the coursework. The study found that many students feel they are learning more from online classes than face-to-face classes.
The Effect of Internet Use on Language Learning
A study about the effects of internet use on language learning found that, when internet use is graded, the students were more satisfied with the accuracy and clarity of the narration than when faced with traditional paper-based exercises. The studys authors state that The study's authors say that the use of digital tools in online learning environments can help student gain a better understanding of original source material, improve their reading and writing skills, and increase self-confidence.
The Disappointment of Online Learning
A journal about the impact of online learning on student engagement reveals some bizarre findings. A recent study found that students who take online courses tend to lack the satisfaction levels typically associated with traditionalarsity courses. In fact, 37 percent of those studied said they felt they left the course feeling angry and depleted. Interestingly, these students were also more likely to have lower grade point averages than those who completed traditional undergraduate-level coursework.
The Wisdom of the Elderly
A study about the classroom interaction between educator and students. The elderly womanorting her way through the bustling hallway of a large high school nearPrinceton, AL pushes an older man witha doctoral degree in economics to the back of the line. Her daughter greets him warmly before entering the room, seating herself at the desk in front of her father. One can tell that they have known each other since they were very small. The grandson approaches them with a smile, shaking their hand firmly before stuffing a donut into his mouth and walking away without another word.
The Positive Effect of Question and Answer Interactions on Student Performance
An analysis about the effects of online question and answer (Q & A) interactions on student performance in large-scale classes was conducted. The study found that Q & A activities have a positive effect on student performance in terms of understanding the material and preparedness for future classwork.
