The C3 Framework: Evaluating Classroom Response System Interactions in University Classrooms

Using student response systems in the accounting classroom: Strengths, strategies and limitations

“…Hoekstra (2008), and Blood and Neel (2008) also report increases in self-reported engagement for undergraduate students enrolled in general chemistry, and masters and undergraduate students enrolled in a variety of programs respectively. Fies and Marshall (2008) report a similar finding in their review of the literature. Reasons for the increased feelings of participation and engagement vary, but include providing a change of pace from the lecture, and providing an opportunity to talk to peers (Hoekstra 2008); greater cognitive involvement, the opportunity for physical activity, and the opportunity for self-assessment (Rice & Bunz 2006); and greater interest in the topic under discussion (Fies & Marshall 2008).…”

“…However, Fies and Marshall (2008) also note that most studies also report a small minority of students, usually 7% or less, who did not enjoy the technology. An investigation of this issue by Trees and Jackson (2007) in the context of large undergraduate classes in physics, communications, and astronomy find that the students who are most positive about SRSs are those who self-report as valuing feedback, those who do not value a traditional lecture style, and those who prefer to be engaged in a large class.…”

The Effect of Study Group Activity Guide in Expository Reading and Writing Course at the College of Architecture in Qassim University

“…This technology allows the instructor to pose a question to the class and easily collect the responses. Advocates of this technological solution report that, when used in a learner-centered framework, the increased interaction through strategically posed questions can, among other things, assess prior knowledge; elicit a misperception; stimulate discussion; and exercise a cognitive skill [8,11]Many of the strategies described in this issue are complemented by audience response systems.…”

A Study on Learning Effects of Integrating Information Technology into Electronics Curriculum Teaching

“…Assessment in this case acts like a bridge across a whole teaching activity [5]. Many studies have worked on introducing the interactive response system (IRS) into teaching in the classroom, especially in those science related courses or large classes [6]. IRS is a learning environment of information technology application.…”
