Students Attitudes

The current study was an attempt to investigate EFL students’ attitudes regarding team-teaching approach. In addition, it explored to what extent the team-teaching approach was effective in terms of enhancing Electrical Engineering Students' English proficiency in an English for Specific Academic Purpose (ESAP) program. To this end, 60 university students studying Electrical Engineering at the faculty of Engineering in Yazd University enrolled in the ESP course participated in this study. Prior to the instruction, the students were randomly divided into two groups as control and experimental. The experimental group was instructed based on the team-teaching approach while the control group was taught based on the traditional approach. The data was gathered through a pretest, posttest, and a questionnaire. The analysis of data via independent sample t-test and descriptive analysis revealed that most of the students had a positive attitude toward utilizing team-teaching approach. Furthermore, the findings indicated that Electrical Engineering students who were taught through team teaching approach performed better than those taught by a single instructor.

Efficient Learning

Learning how to program is becoming essential in many disciplines. However, programming cannot be easily learned, especially by non-engineering students. It is challenging to conduct engineering education for non-engineering majored students. Therefore, it is important to teach non-engineering students to learn with efficient learning strategies. To discover an efficient learning strategy, we had 64 students practice programming with a simple learning management system and tracked all of their practice behaviors on multiple choice questions. The learning management system assigned one multiple choice question per day, but let students themselves decide their own practice frequencies. Students could also make unsynchronized communications by commenting on the questions. By analyzing their behavior patterns and other performance indicators, this paper compared the effect of two different practice strategies for multiple choice questions: distributed practice and massed practice. Our analysis found that students who adopted distributed practice significantly outperformed those who adopted massed practice on final exams (p=0.031). We further explored the possible reasons that led to this significant difference. Students who adopted distributed practice strategy tended to make higher percentage of first submission correctness, be more cautious while correcting errors, and be more constructive in posting question-related comments.

ABSTRACT In this paper we investigate the effectiveness of an online learning resource for introductory financial accounting students using a suite of online multiple choice questions (MCQ) for summative and formative purposes. We found that the availability and use of an online resource resulted in improved examination performance for those students who actively used the online learning resource. Further, we found a positive relationship between formative MCQ and unit content related to challenging financial accounting concepts. However, better examination performance was also linked to other factors, such as prior academic performance, tutorial participation, and demographics, including gender and attending university as an international student.
