Title: Investigating the learning process of students using dialogic instructional videos
The need for high-quality remote learning experiences has been illustrated by the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, there is a need to explore instructional videos that go beyond expert exposition as the main pedagogical approach. An emerging body of research has begun to investigate instructional videos that feature dialogue. However, this body of research has focused primarily on whether such videos are effective. In contrast, the purpose of our study is to investigate the dialogic learning processes involved as students viewing dialogic videos develop mathematical meaning. We employed a Bakhtinian perspective to analyse the learning of a pair of Grade 9 students who engaged with dialogic instructional videos. The results focus on ventriloquation as a learning process.  more » « less

    Dialogic instructional videos feature authentic conversations of students as they engage in complex mathematical problems. Because these videos show students engaging in rich mathematical interactions students might use them as models for how they should engage in such interactions. In this study, we investigated how watching a dialogic video that showed two students creating pictures to illustrate mathematical relationships shaped what two pairs of students thought was necessary to include in their own pictures. We found that while the video the students watched did indeed shape what they thought was necessary to include in their pictures, the degree to which they felt they needed to mirror the pictures in the video varied considerably.

    Well-designed instructional videos are powerful tools for helping students learn and prompting students to use generative strategies while learning from videos further bolsters their effectiveness. However, little is known about how individual differences in motivational factors, such as achievement goals, relate to how students learn within multimedia environments that include instructional videos and generative strategies. Therefore, in this study, we explored how achievement goals predicted undergraduate students’ behaviors when learning with instructional videos that required students to answer practice questions between videos, as well as how those activities predicted subsequent unit exam performance one week later. Additionally, we tested the best measurement models for modeling achievement goals between traditional confirmatory factor analysis and bifactor confirmatory factor analysis. The bifactor model fit our data best and was used for all subsequent analyses. Results indicated that stronger mastery goal endorsement predicted performance on the practice questions in the multimedia learning environment, which in turn positively predicted unit exam performance. In addition, students’ time spent watching videos positively predicted practice question performance. Taken together, this research emphasizes the availing role of adaptive motivations, like mastery goals, in learning from instructional videos that prompt the use of generative learning strategies.

    The way teachers design activities and interact with students during instruction directly impacts students' opportunities to learn (OTL). Previous research has shown the merits of formative assessment (FA) in supporting students' active sense-making, leading to improved student success outcomes. We examined 22 STEM teachers' classroom videos, performing FA in class, taken from two different years of teaching in high-need districts. We then coded the videos according to two basic teaching moves - eliciting information about students' thinking or advanced learning. These moves can also be categorized as more authoritative (univocal) class discourse or more dialogic (multivocal). Our results show that thirteen out of the twenty-two teachers in this study diversified their teaching moves over time as they gained experience while persisting in high-need districts. The results also suggest five different teachers' clusters, representing different changes over time in these teachers' teaching moves. Teachers' reflections on challenges they faced while teaching and changes in their assessment practices over time suggest that changes in their teaching purposes resulted in shifting their teaching moves. These shifts supported their students' different challenges, building meaningful relationships with their students, and allowing them more OTL.

    Growing interest in “flipped” classrooms has made video lessons an increasingly prominent component of post-secondary mathematics curricula. This format, where students watch videos outside of class, can be leveraged to create a more active learning environment during class. Thus, for very challenging but essential classes in STEM, like calculus, the use of video lessons can have a positive impact on student success. However, relatively little is known about how students watch and learn from calculus instructional videos. This research generates knowledge about how students engage with, make sense of, and learn from calculus instructional videos.

    In this study we investigate how students watch and learn from a set of calculus instructional videos focused on reasoning about quantities needed to graph the function modeling the instantaneous speed of a car. Using pre- and post-video problems, a survey about the students’ sense-making and data about the students’ interactions with the video, we found that many students did not appear to make significant gains in their learning and that students appeared to not recognize their own moments of confusion or lack of understanding. These results highlight potential issues related to learning from instructional videos.
