Integrating Technology in Today's Undergraduate Classrooms: A Look at Students' Perspectives
Meehan, Kimberly C.; Salmun, Haydee
Journal of College Science Teaching, v46 n1 Sep 2016
The authors present the findings of a small-scale study of student opinions drawn from an anonymous and voluntary survey in an undergraduate science classroom. The survey questions focused on the use of basic tools in a college classroom. The tools included in the survey were PowerPoint, overhead projectors/chalkboards, personal response units, and online courses. The students enjoyed both the use of traditional and more technologically advanced tools for lecture-style learning when the methods are implemented in manners that are perceived as pedagogically appropriate and effective.
