      Flipped Classroom approaches to teaching are becoming increasingly popular in higher education, but there is a lack of empirical research. We present here a study performed during an engineering course for 20 students at a Norwegian university, on student appropriation towards Flipped Classroom through interviews, questionnaire, video/quiz usage statistics and classroom filming. We approach this ...
    • Perspectives and reflections on teaching linear algebra 

      Rensaa, Ragnhild Johanne; Hogstad, Ninni Marie; Monaghan, John David (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-03)
      This paper presents ‘expert opinions’ on what should be taught in a first-year linear algebra course at university; the aim is to gain a generic picture and general guiding principles for such a course. Drawing on a Delphi method, 14 university professors—called ‘experts’ in this study—addressed the following questions: What should be on a first-year linear algebra undergraduate course for engineering ...
    • Themes within lecturers' views on the teaching of linear algebra 

      Rensaa, Ragnhild Johanne; Hogstad, Ninni Marie; Monaghan, John David (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-25)
      This paper reports on themes that arose in an investigation of university lecturers’ views on the teaching of linear algebra. This focus on themes was the initial part of a study concentrating on four areas: What is important to teach in a first course in linear algebra? Are there teaching methods which are particularly suited for such a course? Are there tools that should/should not be used; and ...
