This quasi-experimental study compared various outcomes of team-based-learning (TBL) (n = 67) and more traditional lecture-based instruction (n = 66) in a community college introductory psychology course and found no differences in knowledge of course content, attendance, or course retention. However, student self-reports indicated that, compared…

Three online courses at the authors' institution have successfully used an extensive guest lecturer format (N = 22-30) for almost 10 years. The course design facilitates networking within the relatively small but diverse and global field of aquatic animal health. In this study of students' learning experiences, students perceived the courses as…

The purpose of this study was to inform the dissemination of a project-based statistics curriculum by identifying institutional and instructor characteristics that predict its implementation. Data were drawn from pre- and post-workshop surveys completed by 67 instructors attending a one-and-a-half-day professional development workshop on…

This qualitative analysis examines responses from individuals who completed a robust graduate instructor training program--a guided mentoring forum that meets bi-weekly, beginning the semester prior to the graduate students' first teaching assignment, and continuing through the totality of their teaching experience in graduate school. Current and…

The authors describe an instructional model of interdisciplinarity that aims to simultaneously develop undergraduate students' disciplinary knowledge and foster integrative skills. Two faculty members taught separate undergraduate courses in history and microbiology during which students came together at multiple points throughout the semester.…

Although the role of class participation in learning has been studied, there is less scholarship of teaching and learning research investigating the role of "incentives" in increasing engagement. The author describes his experience using multiple incentives to increase class-wide participation in an undergraduate legal course over…

This study examines a student-created "pop-up museum" about the opioid epidemic that was part of a project-based service-learning (PBSL) experience in a college course. A survey of student perceptions of the learning experience, a course evaluation, and a survey of museum visitors' perceptions of their experiences with the museum…

Although an abundance of research has discussed the importance of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), there is little research on how UDL may be used in syllabus construction. The authors developed and validated the UDL Syllabus Scale (UDLSS), which evaluates higher education instructors' ability to design a syllabus using UDL principles. Over…

There is little information about outcomes that persist beyond graduation for college students who take interdisciplinary innovation courses. This project describes qualitative results of a study of college graduates who were members of two such courses in different disciplines at two universities in the United States. Teamwork, innovation, and…

This mixed-methods interdisciplinary study explores the relationship between theatre skills and graduate teaching assistants' development as university instructors. The authors employ a critical lens to look at classroom interactions as acts of performance. Data, which they collected through surveys and interviews with graduate teaching assistants…

This mixed-methods study examined experiences of faculty (n = 197) teaching emergency hybrid courses at a public research university in the mid-south U.S. during the fall and spring semesters of the 2020-2021 academic year. Quantitative results indicated that faculty were experienced teaching emergency hybrid courses, but somewhat dissatisfied…

The authors' research develops new understanding of undergraduate student engagement as a product of the flipped classroom learning model. Using a mixed-methods approach, 408 undergraduate students were surveyed and 18 interviewed across marketing, mathematics, nursing, and education majors. The motivating goals of this research were to identify…

Various pedagogical tools have been used by educators as they seek to build classroom communities that support learning. This mixed-methods case study examined the experiences of students who utilized a class Facebook group as a pedagogical tool in a face-to-face university undergraduate course. Students' perceptions were gathered via an online…

The authors discuss a course case study that focuses on diversity and inclusion in campus Greek life at a predominantly White institution. The course uses the lenses of race, racism, and heteronormativity to focus students' attention on the complex histories of Greek organizations and the experiences of female college students with marginalized…

This case study explores leadership emergence within a faculty-based community of practice engaged in a scholarly interprofessional education initiative between nursing, medical, and clinical simulation educators within a transnational higher education context in the Middle East. Findings in this qualitative study revealed rich insights into the…
