This paper presents an interpretative phenomenological analysis study of students' experiences with ungrading in the form of reflection-based self-evaluation in a college course. In the landscape of student evaluation, ungrading strategies respond to the limitations of traditional grading systems, particularly with respect to cultivating in-demand…

Online instruction has helped colleges and universities to adjust to budget constraints, limited resources, and student preferences. One way for instructors to adapt to these new expectations is to gain efficiency in larger classes by using team-based assignments and peer grading. Although online peer grading has been used for some time, concerns…

Christiane Reilly; Thomas C. Reeves – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2024
This design-based research (DBR) study had both local and general goals. Its local goal was to increase active learning in the online courses offered at a large research university in the midwestern United States. Its larger goal was to define active learning design principles for online courses in general, so that they might be used to improve…

Rebecca A. Bull Schaefer; Lily K. Copeland – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2024
This paper responds to calls from teacher-student feedback research looking for options on how to improve student performance. In Study 1, we first observe the relationship between student conscientiousness, midterm-performance, feedback-seeking behaviors, and final semester grades. Second, in Study 2, we test whether using an active learning…

Forrest Hisey; Tingting Zhu; Yuhong He – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2024
Lack of student engagement in online learning is reported as the major challenge contributing to poor academic performance and completion rates. When transforming an in-person undergraduate remote sensing course to online, this study implemented interactive storytelling lecture trailers (ISLTs) as a tool to effect changes in the realms of…

Alicia A Dahl; Jessamyn Bowling; Lisa M Krinner; Candace S Brown; George Shaw Jr.; Janaka B Lewis; Trudy Moore-Harrison; Sandra M Clinton; Scott R Gartlan – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2024
The Paper Chase model is a synchronous collaborative approach to manuscript development. Through a structured and team-based design, authors participate in a "marathon" of writing, editing, revising, and submitting their publications within a specified period. This active-learning approach is considered a high-impact practice by engaging…

Chamberlin, Kelsey; Yasué, Maï; Chiang, I-Chant A. – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2023
Although research has explored how in-class pedagogical practices and narrative feedback affect student engagement and motivation, questions remain on the impact of grading systems (i.e. multi-interval grades vs pass/fail and narrative evaluation) on academic motivation. Here, we compared the motivation of students who received multi-interval…

McIver, Shane; Murphy, Berni – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2023
Multiple benefits have been attributed to self-assessment and its ability to help develop evaluative judgement among learners. However, student and staff perceptions and what to expect throughout the self-assessment process deserves further scrutiny, particularly at the postgraduate level. To understand how students engage with self-assessment as…

Levy, Dan; Svoronos, Theodore; Klinger, Mae – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2023
Two-stage examinations consist of a first stage in which students work individually as they typically do in examinations (stage 1), followed by a second stage in which they work in groups to complete another examination (stage 2), which typically consists of a subset of the questions from the first examination. Data from two-stage midterm and…

Schillings, Marlies; Roebertsen, Herma; Savelberg, Hans; Dolmans, Diana – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2023
Written feedback plays a key role in the acquisition of academic writing skills. Ideally, this feedback should include feed up, feed back and feed forward. However, written feedback alone is not enough to improve writing skills; students often struggle to interpret the feedback received and enhance their writing skills accordingly. Several studies…
