Students' Communication and Positive Outcomes in College Classrooms
AlKandari, Nabila
Education, v133 n1 p19-30 Fall 2012
The purpose of this study was to determine students' communication in the college classroom through faculty-led methods of enhancing classroom participation. The students in this study perceived that faculty members work to engage them in various classroom activities and enhance their participation through discussions, debates, dialogue, group work, and presentations; students understood these methods as ways of increasing their learning and communication. Many students were also interested in those instructors that mainly focused on students' participation, which resulted in gaining desirable outcomes in terms of developing skills such as communication, intellectual curiosity, and critical thinking.
