A taxonomy to define courses that mix face-to-face and online learning
Publication date: November 2016 Source:Educational Research Review, Volume 19 Author(s): Lauren E. Margulieux, W. Michael McCracken, Richard Catrambone The efficacy of courses that mix face-to-face and online instruction, such as blended, hybrid, flipped, and inverted courses, is contested in the literature. Some studies find that they improved learning outcomes and some do not. We argue that these unreliable results are due to inconsistent definitions of these courses. To address this problem, we propose the Mixed Instructional eXperience (MIX) taxonomy to define hybrid, blended, flipped, and inverted based on t...

Taking a future perspective by learning from the past – A systematic review of assessment instruments that aim to measure primary and secondary school students’ ICT literacy
This study systematically reviews literature on assessment instruments of primary and secondary school students’ ICT literacy. It has three objectives: (1) Describe the development and characteristics of the assessments; (2) Present a synthesis of the facets of ICT literacy measured; and (3) Investigate to what extent information about the reliability and validity is provided. A total of 38 tests reported in 66 studies were included. The results indicate that most of the tests target lower secondary students, comprise multiple-choice item designs, and are evaluated by quantitative methodology. The majority of the tests m...

At the boundary of school: Continuity and discontinuity in learning across contexts
Publication date: Available online 18 May 2016 Source:Educational Research Review Author(s): Larike H. Bronkhorst, Sanne F. Akkerman In response to various societal changes, schools are increasingly developing an outward orientation, seeking to connect to students’ out-of-school participations. Simultaneously, educational research is starting to adopt a multisystemic approach to learning. Focusing on continuity and discontinuity in students’ learning across school and out-of-school contexts, we synthesize 186 empirical studies. After conceptualizing school and out-of-school in relation to each other, we find th...
