The Impact

Formative assessment is critical in providing students the opportunity to self-assess their content knowledge and providing data to inform instructional decisions. It also provides students with information about course expectations. If, as called for in numerous science instruction reform efforts, we expect students to be able to apply their chemistry knowledge to analyze data and construct coherent explanations, then not only must summative assessments include items that require this of students, but students must also be provided with frequent and ongoing opportunities to individually practice this difficult task and receive feedback. Although online homework systems can be quite effective at providing students with feedback regarding their mastery of basic skills, it is typically less useful in providing meaningful feedback on constructed student explanations. This study examined the impact of providing students with frequent out-of-class formative assessment activities initiated by text messages. Student responses were then used to facilitate in-class instruction. Increased student participation in these formative assessment tasks correlated positively with success on exams even after accounting for student prior knowledge. There was also evidence that students increased their ability to construct complete explanation over the course of the semester. All results were consistent across two different institutions and three instructors.

The Impact

Educators in all disciplines are searching for effective educational technologies that help students learn. One technology that has evolved is the online homework management system. The online homework management system permits professors to use the Internet to assign homework problems that students can complete online. Since this system is automatic, students can receive feedback instantly. The researchers designed this study to determine if the use of an online homework management system as an educational complement was an effective way to improve student performance and course satisfaction in an introductory accounting course when compared to traditional accounting pedagogy. The results of this study show the use of an online homework management system is an effective way to improve student performance and course satisfaction in an introductory accounting course when compared to traditional pen-and-paper homework.

The Impact

Compliance of personal protective equipment (PPE) uses without the impact of the consequences is a reflection of a good workforce. This compliance is thought to be influenced by various factors, such as knowledge, attitudes, years of service, comfort, suitability of PPE and type of work and availability. The phenomenon of non-compliance cannot be ignored, and is evident from several previous studies. This study aims to measure the level of compliance, reasons and factors that influence it. Involving 80 participants who participated in builder skills training. Collecting data using K3 logbook, surveillance camera recordings and field observations, the data were processed by cross sectional analysis to see causality and choreation. The results showed that the level of compliance using PPE correctly was 82.92% on average. The average level of compliance with individual behavior is 66.25%. Non-compliance with the use of PPE safety helmet 29.00%, cotton glove 19.38%, safety vest 16.25% and safety boot 3.44%, with reasons of forgetting 33.85%, PPE is considered to be disturbing 26.67%, feeling uncomfortable 26.15% and the attitude of feeling that they will not be harmed by 13.33%, which is influenced by the factors of unsafe work habits without PPE, years of service, the harmony of PPE types and work, and there is no relationship between knowledge and compliance with the use of PPE. Repetitive non-compliance did by 30,00% participants.

The Impact

AbstractThis study investigates the impact of an online workbook on the attitudes of 245 second language (L2) Spanish learners toward this pedagogical tool over two consecutive semesters. The treatment consisted of four hours of classroom instruction and one set of online homework per week, during two consecutive semesters. Students' attitudes toward the electronic workbook were measured by means of a survey administered after eight months of exposure to the workbook. The qualitative data of the survey was compared to quantitative data from two different language assessment tests. The results of these tests indicated a significant increase in grammar scores. These results are consonant with the positive findings of student perceptions about the online workbook obtained in this and previous studies, emphasizing its benefits in terms of accessibility to the material, user-friendliness, and instant error feedback. More importantly, most students praised the usefulness of the online workbook for language learning, particularly in the areas of grammar and vocabulary acquisition. Despite participants' mostly positive attitudes, the survey also revealed some negative aspects of the use of the online workbook, such as the amount of time needed to complete the online exercises. This paper addresses these issues, and provides suggestions to overcome this type of problem.
