Archival Research01:40

Archival Research

16.9K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Potential Energy00:52

Potential Energy

41.8K
The energy stored by a structure and location of matter in space is called potential energy. For instance, raising a kettlebell changes its spatial location and increases its potential energy. Similarly, a stretched rubber band contains potential energy which, under certain conditions, can be converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy.
Chemical bonds that form attractive forces between atoms also contain potential energy, called chemical energy. When a chemical reaction...

Potential Energy

A conservative force, such as a gravitational or elastic force, gives the body the capacity to do work. This capacity, measured as the potential energy, depends on the body's location or “position” relative to a fixed reference position or datum. The gravitational potential energy is considered zero at the reference point. Suppose a body is located at some vertical distance above a fixed horizontal reference or datum. In that case, the weight of the body has positive gravitational potential...

Ethics in Research

25.1K
Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Null and Alternative Hypotheses01:16

Null and Alternative Hypotheses

11.4K
The actual hypothesis testing begins by considering two hypotheses. They are termed  the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis. These hypotheses contain opposing viewpoints.
The null hypothesis, denoted by H0 is a statement of no difference between the variables—they are not related. This can often be considered the status quo. As  a result if you cannot accept the null, it requires some action.
The alternative hypothesis, denoted by H1 or Ha, is a claim about the...

Humanistic Psychology01:24

Humanistic Psychology

2.2K
Humanistic psychology emerged in the mid-20th century as a response to the deterministic and pessimistic nature of behaviorism and psychoanalysis. While behaviorism focused on observable behaviors influenced by the environment and psychoanalysis delved into unconscious motivations, both theories suggested that human actions lacked free will. In contrast, humanistic psychology offers a perspective that emphasizes the innate potential for goodness and growth within every individual.
This approach...

Summary

Open Educational Resources (OER) can initially reduce costs for college students and close achievement gaps. However, long-term benefits require faculty to explore OER affordances for broader student success.

Area of Science:

  • Educational Technology
  • Higher Education Research
  • Open Educational Resources (OER)

Background:

  • Critique of existing research on Open Educational Resources (OER) efficacy and perceptions, highlighting a lack of theoretical grounding.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the shift to digital learning, increasing the relevance of OER research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To theoretically analyze the research on Open Educational Resources (OER) and their impact on college textbook choices.
  • To identify current trends in OER research, emphasizing stronger theoretical frameworks.
  • To project the short-term and long-term impacts of OER adoption on student finances and academic achievement.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical analysis of existing literature on Open Educational Resources (OER).
  • Review of recent research to identify emerging theoretical directions in OER studies.
  • Discussion of the potential affordances of the 5Rs (Retain, Reuse, Revise, Remix, Redistribute) in OER.

Main Results:

  • Many previously reviewed studies on OER were undertheorized, limiting their practical impact.
  • Short-term OER adoption is linked to cost savings for college students and a reduction in the achievement gap.
  • Long-term OER benefits are not guaranteed and depend on faculty's deeper engagement with OER principles.

Conclusions:

  • OER offers immediate financial and equity benefits for college students, particularly during periods of rapid digital transition.
  • Sustained and enhanced student success through OER requires a more robust theoretical understanding and application of OER's core principles by faculty.
  • Future OER research should prioritize stronger theoretical frameworks to maximize the transformative potential of educational resources.
