Abstract

Student engagement is the core of the teaching and learning practice in higher education. This exploratory action research project was designed to enhance teaching and learning using a blended learning approach to increase student engagement prior, during, and after lecture and seminar sessions of a module run for first-year undergraduate students. Within an academic semester, three action research cycles were carried out to collect data and redesign the classroom practice. Different data collection techniques were used along with Microsoft OneNote Class Notebook. This article presents three case studies of individual students to demonstrate how the digital workspace helped to develop the practice of participatory teaching and learning during a first-year undergraduate module. This study indicates that listening to students' voices through a blended learning approach helped to increase student engagement, thus increasing student participation in shaping and redesigning teaching and learning to engage them within the classroom and beyond.
使用混合学习方法提高学生参与度:一年级本科生案例研究
学生参与是高等教育教学实践的核心。这个探索性的行动研究项目旨在通过混合式学习方法来提高教学和学习,在一年级本科生的讲座和研讨会之前、期间和之后提高学生的参与度。在一个学期内,进行了三个行动研究周期来收集数据并重新设计课堂实践。不同的数据收集技术与Microsoft OneNote Class Notebook一起使用。本文介绍了三个个别学生的案例研究,以展示数字工作空间如何帮助在一年级本科模块中开发参与式教学实践。这项研究表明,通过混合学习方法倾听学生的声音有助于提高学生的参与度,从而提高学生在塑造和重新设计教学和学习方面的参与度,从而使他们在课堂内外都能参与进来。

期刊介绍: The primary mission of the International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning (IJMBL) is to provide insight and understanding into the role of innovative learning theory and practice in an increasingly mobile and pervasive technological environment. As technology enables a more seamless experience of device-supported learning worlds that may integrate mobile, embedded, augmented, and immersive technologies, researchers, professionals, and academicians may expect to see increasing interest and activity in blended approaches to learning. IJMBL brings together experts at the forefront of this field, in both technology and pedagogical practice, and assists them in the development and dissemination of new approaches to both mobile and blended learning.
