The teaching faculty for this course sought to address their own concerns about the quality of student learning in an impersonal large lecture biology class for majors, the difficulties in getting to know each student by name, and difficulties in soliciting answers and reactions from the students during the lecture. Questions addressed by this study were, Do active-learning activities in a small and personal lecture setting enhance student learning more than active-learning activities in large impersonal lectures? and Are students more satisfied with an educational experience in a small and personal lecture setting? Based on faculty perceptions of how they best relate to their students, the prediction was that the students in the experimental group with small lecture classes and increased direct contact with the teaching faculty would learn physiological principles better than the students in the control group in the large impersonal lecture portion of the course. One of the laboratory sections of this large enrollment biology course was randomly selected to be taught with separate small lectures by the teaching faculty. In addition, the teaching faculty participated in the laboratory with these students during their experiments correlated with the lecture material. The students in both groups were compared by pre- and posttests of physiological principles, final course grades, and class satisfaction surveys.

AbstractInformation and communication technology (ICT) programs like Microsoft PowerPoint and Apple Keynote have become the norm for large university lecture classes, but their record in terms of student engagement and active learning is mixed at best. Here, the author presents the merits of a “populist” lecture style that takes full advantage of the variety of features available from the latest generation of ICT programs. Based on visual variety, audio and visual sound bites, and the incorporation of humor and pop-cultural references, this populist approach not only facilitates greater student attention and engagement with the class materials, but also offers unmatched opportunities for extending student learning beyond the confines of the large lecture hall.

One effort that can be done in addressing the low ability of mathematical understanding and communication, namely with constructivism learning models that emphasize students to construct their own knowledge. This research is an experimental study in Class IV of Cijati Elementary School and First District of Majalengka with a pretest and posttest research design given to the experimental group and the control group. The instruments used were tests of mathematical comprehension and communication skills, student attitude scales, teacher response questionnaires, and the observation format of student learning activities. The main objective of this study is to examine the mathematical comprehension and communication skills of elementary students who learn with constructivism learning and those who learn as usual. Data analysis was carried out quantitatively and qualitatively. Based on the results of the final test analysis, it was found that students' mathematical understanding and communication skills learning with the constructivism learning model were better than students who studied with ordinary learning. Student learning outcomes in the experimental group were at a level close enough to good and the learning outcomes control group was still at a lesser level. While qualitative analysis found that student learning activities in constructivism learning models are good. Students and teachers show a positive attitude towards this learning.
