Adolescent societies-whether arising from weak, short-term classroom friendships or from close, long-term friendships-exhibit various levels of network clustering, segregation, and hierarchy. Some are rank-ordered caste systems and others are flat, cliquish worlds. Explaining the source of such structural variation remains a challenge, however, because global network features are generally trea...

A shift from the face-to-face lectures performed conventionally in schools to the remote ones using the computers and networks has occurred in recent years. We can grasp the meaning of this as the aspects of not only the spatial merit that the system can be used in distributed location but also the asynchronous one that learners don’t have to participate in a classroom at the same time. This ar...

BACKGROUND In recent years, the flipped classroom method of teaching has received much attention in health sciences education. However, the application of flipped classrooms in ophthalmology education has not been well investigated. OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to investigate the effectiveness and acceptability of the flipped classroom approach to teaching ophthalmology at the clerksh...

The Teaching Machine is a software system for animation of computer programs. It allows the instructor in the classroom or the student on their own to single step through computer programs written in C++ or Java while observing the effect of each step on the state of a virtual machine. The state of the machine is represented in a number of ways including a presentation of the current state of e...

This article examines attempts at game-based courses over the course of several semesters from the spring of 2014 to the spring of 2015 to discover how the fissure between gameful course plans and/or syllabi and the day to day operations of the classroom might be overcome. It examines the creation of teaching goals for gameful courses and how pedagogical methods must be constructed to meet curr...

The purpose of this study was to determine if modeling school and classroom effects was necessary in estimating passage reading growth across elementary grades. Longitudinal data from 8367 students in 2989 classrooms in 202 Reading First schools were used in this study and were obtained from the Progress Monitoring and Reporting Network maintained by the Florida Center for Reading Research. Ora...
