The Use And Functions Of Students’ Personal Stories In Online Discussion Forums, Nicole Albada, Sydney Jawitz, Payton Adams, Pauline Yang Mar 2025

The Use And Functions Of Students’ Personal Stories In Online Discussion Forums, Nicole Albada, Sydney Jawitz, Payton Adams, Pauline Yang

International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education

Personal stories serve learning and socioemotional functions in teaching. Instructors share personal stories with students to promote engagement, foster learning, and create a sense of community. Students may also share personal stories with each other for similar reasons. Thus, the current study explored how often, and why, students (N = 79) shared personal stories as well as responded to other students’ stories in online discussion forums (ODFs) that were part of a remotely taught adult development and aging class. The students ODF posts (f = 1,354) were content-coded for: (i) whether they contained a personal story, (ii) were a direct …


Student Group Work In Widely Interdisciplinary Teams, Emanuel Istrate, Shawn Soobramanie Mar 2025

Student Group Work In Widely Interdisciplinary Teams, Emanuel Istrate, Shawn Soobramanie

International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education

Group work is often used in university courses. This article examines group work in a widely interdisciplinary holography course that combines both art and science, for students from the arts, humanities, social sciences, and sciences. In these interdisciplinary teams, how much specialization of labor (dividing work according to students’ pre-existing abilities or personal interests) is acceptable? We present student survey responses regarding their attitudes toward interdisciplinary group work, and their practices in dividing the work, to determine how much specialization of labor is taking place within the interdisciplinary teams. The surveys indicate a mix of approaches among groups concerning the …


Building Cohesive Classroom Communities, Alexandra Joosse, Adam Barger Mar 2025

Building Cohesive Classroom Communities, Alexandra Joosse, Adam Barger

International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education

Research shows that a cohesive classroom community, or the relationships built between students within a classroom setting, leads to a long list of positive student outcomes in higher education. This research seeks to better understand how to build cohesion in a classroom community, a goal that has become even more urgent given the student isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. It uses the tool of social network analysis, a tool particularly well suited for studying networks of relationships, to examine how two common collaborative learning techniques—small group discussions and team-based projects—affect the structure and strength of the classroom community networks …

Using Stimulated Recall And Reflection On Action With Music Studio Teachers In Higher Education, Kelly A. Parkes, Ryan Daniel

International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education

This article focuses on the issue of reflection for music studio teachers in higher education. Although stimulated recall and reflection on action are well-developed research fields in classroom education settings, the application of these methods to studio teaching is rare, a form of pedagogy which is heavily influenced by the master–apprentice tradition, with many teachers engaging in this practice without any formal training. The article presents the findings associated with three different studio pedagogues reflecting on video recordings of their lessons via cooperative analysis. Each of the three pedagogues took part in a live session with the researchers where their …
