Successful Pedagogy with Web Assignments Checker
Pundak, David; Maharshak, Arie; Rozner, Shmaryahu
Journal of Educational Technology Systems, v33 n1 p67-80 2004-2005
What is the effect on studies when integrating Web Assignment Checker (WAC) into science teaching? This article examines the change in students' attitudes to this question from the beginning of the course to its end, as compared with the attitudes of the teaching staff. The examiner's questionnaires, incorporating six aspects relating to students' attitudes with six aspects that the students' attitudes relate to, were given in five courses at the start of the semester and at its end. An analysis of the findings identified several members of the teaching staff who had succeeded in reducing the disparity between their attitudes and those of their students by the end of the course. An analysis of the means of operating WAC by these members of the teaching staff point reveals a successful pedagogy that may be implemented in other courses.
