The Impact Of Prior Exposure To Physics On Students' Transition To Flipped Classrooms With Active Learning, Johnny Gonzalez
The Impact Of Prior Exposure To Physics On Students' Transition To Flipped Classrooms With Active Learning, Johnny Gonzalez
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
The pedagogical approach of the flipped classroom with an active learning model shows great benefit for all students in many disciplines. This study explored the possibility that certain subsets of students may have varying benefits from this model. In this study, we used survey questions to categorize students and analysis of the Forced Concept Inventory (FCI) scores, including normalized gain (NG), to measure learning improvement. In particular, we used a questionnaire with two questions that were used to partition each sub-group. The first group consisted of students that have varying levels of physics knowledge and the second group consisted of …

Ecology, published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc., on behalf of the Ecological Society of America. Comparing the structure of presence/absence (i.e., binary) matrices with those of randomized counterparts is a common practice in ecology. However, differences in the randomization procedures (null models) can affect the results of the comparisons, leading matrix structural patterns to appear either “random” or not. Subjectivity in the choice of one particular null model over another makes it often advisable to compare the results obtained using several different approaches. Yet, available algorithms to randomize binary matrices differ substantially in respect to the constraints they impose on the …
