“…In addition, we have found that participation in the online course does have a positive effect on students' grades in mathematics. These findings are similar to those in Rae and Samuels (2011) who report that at risk students who engaged with their supplementary online course out-performed similar students who did not. However, caution must be exercised when considering findings such as these.…”

“…With the exception of Rae and Samuels (2011), the studies presented here deal with compulsory supports, whether they are online courses or traditional tutorials and lectures. It is clear that student engagement is a complex issue; however, we believe that appropriate intervention has a vital role to play in increasing the level and quality of that engagement.…”

In the National University of Ireland Maynooth, in-coming first-year mathematics students are given a diagnostic test. The purpose of this test is to measure their basic knowledge and manipulation skills in mathematics. Those who fail this test are deemed at risk of failing their mathematics modules and are enrolled in a supplementary online mathematics proficiency course. In this article, we give a brief overview of the development of this course. We focus on the issue of student engagement with the course and the steps we have taken to address their levels of engagement; in particular, we have monitored student activity in the online course and contacted students whose engagement levels were low. We also present an analysis of the impact of this course on students'overall grades.

“…Various studies have been carried out on the design of efficient online learning environments (Beetham & Sharpe, 2013;Garrison, 2011;Garrison & Akyol, 2015;Hou, 2015;Küçüközer, 2013;Rae & Samuels, 2011;Tang & Lam, 2014). For teaching to be efficient it is necessary to integrate the cognitive, affective and physiological characteristics of learners with educational needs and to adapt the teaching according to these characteristics (Uysal & Yalın, 2012).…”

Educational researchers are concerned with the investigation and improvement of teaching methods, and data obtained this study evidences their efficacy. The Personalized System of Instruction (PSI) and Lesson Study (LS) are two evidence-based effective teaching methods applied in varied disciplines in several countries with different theoretical backgrounds, procedures and evaluation strategies. In general, PSI research focuses on student development, lesson planning relies on an instructor, instructions are written, evaluation based on experimental manipulation, and shortcomings involve issues like student procrastination, excessive preparation and supervisor training time. LS research focuses on teacher and student development, instructions are varied, the assessment is based on a performance of the student, and teacher perception and shortcomings include excessive meeting time. This article suggests that both PSI and LS can benefit from the investigating implementation of each other's features. Keywords: Teaching and Learning, Personalized System of Instruction, Lesson Study, Comparative Analysis. RESUMO:Os pesquisadores educacionais estão preocupados com a investigação e aperfeiçoamento dos métodos de ensino e os dados obtidos evidenciam a sua eficácia. O Personalized System of Instruction (PSI) e Lesson Study (LS) são dois métodos de ensino efetivos baseados em evidências aplicados em disciplinas variadas em países com diferentes contextos teóricos, procedimentos e estratégias de avaliação. Em geral, a pesquisa do PSI concentra-se no desenvolvimento do aluno, o planejamento de lições depende de um instrutor, as instruções são escritas, a avaliação baseia-se em manipulação experimental e as deficiências envolvem problemas como a procrastinação dos alunos, a preparação excessiva e o tempo de treinamento do supervisor. A pesquisa do LS concentra-se no desenvolvimento do professor e do aluno, as instruções são variadas, a avaliação é baseada no desempenho do aluno e na percepção do professor e as deficiências incluem o excessivo tempo de reunião. Este artigo sugere que tanto PSI quanto LS, podem se beneficiar com a implementação investigativa dos recursos uns dos outros. Palavras-chave: Ensino e aprendizagem, Sistema Personalizado de Instrução, Estudo de Lição, Análise Comparativa.
