Student Response Systems: A Multidisciplinary Analysis Using Visual Analytics

Abstract

In recent years, several innovations have emerged in the field of education, including Blended-Learning, Massive Open Online Courses, Flipped Classroom and Gamification. In particular, several investigations have highlighted the effectiveness of student response systems, or clickers, in different subjects and disciplines. Although some literature reviews have been published on this subject, none of them offer a review of a large volume of publications from a multidisciplinary approach. Similarly, in the literature there are no studies that have analyzed scientific collaborations on this subject. To respond to these concerns, we proposed the use of a bot to retrieve information from a large number of papers (1696 documents co-authored by a total of 4091 researchers) included in the Scopus database. The disciplines covered include natural sciences, engineering and technology, medical and health sciences, agricultural and veterinary sciences, social sciences and humanities, and the arts. The review of the literature reveals that student response systems are generally well-perceived by teachers and students in all the disciplines. Another interesting result achieved from visual data obtained using network visualization software and word clouds is that student response systems are mainly used in some disciplines, such as physics, chemistry, medicine, and nursing. It is clearly observed that the relationship between researchers from the same country is stronger than between researchers from different countries. Finally, some reflections are included on the role of student response systems in online teaching, especially regarding the changes experienced after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Penerapan Model Pembelajaran Inkuiri Terbimbing Untuk Melatihkan Literasi Sains Peserta Didik Pada Materi Kesetimbangan Kimia

“…Peneliti menggunakan lembar respon peserta didik untuk mendeskripsikan dan mengukur timbal balik didik pada saat menggunakan model pembelajaran inkuiri yang tentunya lembar ini diisi oleh 24 peserta didik dari grup eksperiman (Herrada et al, 2020).Metode pengambilan data adalah metode angket. Lembar angket respon peserta didik berisi pernyataan yang dapat diisi peserta didik menggunakan jawaban ya dan tidak (Listrik et al, 2015).…”

Il questioning mediato digitalmente come alleato del feedback

“…La vasta letteratura presente nel campo dei "sistemi di risposta" fornisce alcune considerazioni apparentemente contrastanti. Se, da un lato, la maggior parte delle indagini concludono che l'uso dei student response system è una risorsa pedagogica ben accolta da docenti e studenti, dall'altro, si rileva che non sempre l'uso di questi sistemi è in grado di produrre un miglioramento significativo nel rendimento accademico degli studenti (Herrada et al, 2020).…”

Respuesta de estudiantes universitarios a la instrucción en la enseñanza a distancia

“…En la literatura pueden encontrarse investigaciones que han demostrado que la metodología tradicional de enseñanza, basada en conferencias lectivas en las que el estudiante tiene una participación pasiva al recibir la transmisión del conocimiento del profesor, no sólo no motiva a los estudiantes ni beneficia la comunicación entre estos últimos y sus docentes, sino que no es viable para la educación virtual (Herrada, Baños y Alcayde, 2020). En los últimos años se han propuesto varias metodologías de instrucción para promover el aprendizaje centradas en el estudiante, incluido el aprendizaje colaborativo (Gillies, 2016), el aprendizaje basado en problemas o proyectos (Boud y Feletti, 1997;Tseng et al, 2013), el aula invertida (Casasola et al, 2017), entre otros, siendo estas metodologías las más apropiadas para las circunstancias que se viven actualmente.…”
