Building on earlier work the present study examines the empirical association between contrasting forms of "memorising", as suggested in the phenomenographic literature (but operationalised here in a form amenable to statistical modelling), and also between such forms of "memorising" and other established explanatory sources of variation in student learning. The aim of this work is directed tow...

Editor’s Note: The most challenging of the reports found in this self-study probably is the report on Student Learning. The University has found itself engaged in several series of ongoing dialogues about the language of assessment that has been introduced into the processes of evaluating both purposes and performances of institutions of higher education throughout the country. There is little ...

Many medical universitiesaround the world have donestunning changes in the recent years.Some of these changes have been performed with the support of international organizations.They changed the traditionaltrainingprograms based on teacher- centered learning and disciplined approach to the educational course based on community needs responsivity and Student-centered learning. This process is ai...

In a study of South Sudanese adult student participation in Australian learning environments, it was found that student expectations in the areas of classroom behaviours, teacher monitoring of learning and student competition in a formal learning context were consistent across contexts, despite entry level of education. However, teacher expectations varied according to the learning environment,...

there has been a recent development and explosion of interest among academicians across a wide range of disciplines in the use of virtual class room. utilization of the virtual class room as a laboratory experimentation for teaching and learning has increased significantly in recent years as development tools for web based applications have become easier to use and computers have become more ca...

background and purpose: various approaches to learning are suggested & practiced. the traditional medical education were more teacher centered oriented . in this method the students’ involvement in the process of learning is not remarkable, but the new approach to medical education supports the students involvement. this study evaluated the various method of lecturing considering students invol...

<p style="text-align: justify;">Despite being a popular research subject internationally, self-regulated learning is relatively under-investigated in the Indonesian context. This article examined student motivation and its use as an indicator to predict strategies school applied quantitative design, with Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) used collect data. questionnai...

The benefits of introducing active learning in college science courses are well established, yet more needs to be understood about student buy-in to active learning and how that process of buy-in might relate to student outcomes. We test the exposure-persuasion-identification-commitment (EPIC) process model of buy-in, here applied to student (n = 245) engagement in an undergraduate science cour...
