Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

What is an Experiment?

17.1K
An experiment is a planned activity carried out under controlled conditions. The purpose of an experiment is to investigate the relationship between two variables. When one variable causes change in another, we call the first variable the explanatory or independent variable. The affected variable is called the response or dependent variable. In a randomized experiment, the researcher manipulates values of the explanatory variable and measures the resulting changes in the response variable. The...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Technology
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Mobile devices offer potential for content delivery in large university classes.
  • Integrating technology into education can impact student academic outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of mobile-based student response systems in improving university students' academic performance.
  • To analyze the relationship between technology-assisted learning activities and student motivation and self-regulated learning strategies.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 294 undergraduates in a psychology course.
  • Utilized mobile technology for in-class quizzes and collected data on motivational beliefs and self-regulated learning strategies via online questionnaires.
  • Employed linear models to analyze the impact of quiz and out-of-class activities on final exam performance.

Main Results:

  • Mobile-based quizzes and out-of-class activities positively influenced final exam performance.
  • Student motivation and self-regulated learning strategies showed moderate correlation with out-of-class activities, but not with quiz activities.

Conclusions:

  • Mobile technology integration in both in-class quizzes and out-of-class activities can effectively promote academic achievement in university students.
  • Findings suggest technology's utility in enhancing learning beyond traditional methods.
