Redesigning a Research Methods Course with Personalized, Interactive OER: A Case Study of Student Perceptions and Performance
Wynants, Shelli; Dennis, Jessica
Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, v22 n1 p138-153 Mar 2022
This case study examines student learning outcomes derived from the redesign of an undergraduate child development research methods course, replacing a commercial textbook with Open Educational Resources (OER), which were remixed into interactive lessons. Using survey and exam performance data, two areas were evaluated: 1) students' experiences with the OER lessons; and (2) students' exam results from two OER sections compared to two previous commercial textbook sections taught by the same instructor. No significant differences in exam performance between the two groups were observed; however, student perceptions of the OER lessons indicated strong satisfaction. Implications of these findings, such as OER benefits for teaching and learning, are discussed.
