There have been calls for second generation research that examines how much class time should be allocated to student learning activities and how much to lecture to maximize student learning in college courses—a question of the appropriate mix of instructor lecture and student activity. The purpose of the present study was to systematically compare the effects on learning outcomes of two mixtures of learning activities and lecture during a college course on research methods: <em>mostly lecture</em> (consisting of ∼67 % to 75 % lecture and ∼25 % to 33 % learning activities), and <em>mostly activity</em> (consisting of ∼67 % to 75 % learning activities and ∼25 % to 33 % lecture). In a between-subjects design, students in a research-methods in psychology course experienced in-class lessons that were mostly lecture or mostly activity across two different lessons. Participants in the <em>mostly activity</em> condition scored significantly higher on an assessment of learning than those in the <em>mostly lecture</em> condition for a lesson on single-case research designs (<em>d</em> = 0.38) which was less complex but performance between the two instructional conditions was similar for the lesson on direct observational methods which was more complex. Theoretical implications involve potential refinements to generative learning theory. Practical implications involve recommendations for when to provide high amounts of student learning activities during a class period.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10635,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Educational Psychology","volume":"79 ","pages":"Article 102316"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142421777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to understand how self-efficacy (belief in one’s abilities) and academic burden (the external challenges students face in their studies) relate to academic performance over time and whether modeling both between and within subject variance components provides a more comprehensive perspective that is better aligned with theory. Self-efficacy and academic burden were collected at five time points, one month apart from undergraduate students (<em>N</em> = 443) enrolled in an online biology class. The data were fit to four models: 1) a standard cross lagged panel model (CLPM), 2) a random intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM), 3) an RI-CLPM in which grade was regressed on the random-intercepts, and 4) an RI-CLPM in which grade was regressed on the random-intercepts and the within-person fluctuations. The RI-CLPM was a better fit to the data over the CLPM, indicating that separating effects that are attributed to individual differences from within-person effects appears to better capture the reciprocal relationships between self-efficacy and academic burden. Further, when only the general tendencies of self-efficacy and academic burden were specified to predict final grade, there was a significant positive relationship between self-efficacy and grades. However, when within-person variations over time were added as predictors in addition to the between-person differences, this general relationship lost significance. These findings suggest that gaining self-efficacy momentum in a class is perhaps more predictive of academic achievement than having a general tendency towards confidence in one’s abilities relative to peers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10635,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Educational Psychology","volume":"79 ","pages":"Article 102315"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142421779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further, the university teachers’ expectations for their individual students played a role in the quality of the peer relationships which subsequently contributed to students’ later academic achievements.

Although providing students with an explicit definition of narrative frames did not improve performance, asking students to attend to notable terms during reading improved overt narrative frame analysis scores.
