abstract |
In teaching introductory statistics to first year students, the Maastricht University
uses a blended learning environment that allows them to attune available learning
tools to personal preferences and needs, in order to address large diversity in students.
That diversity is a direct consequence of a heterogeneous inflow of primarily international
students, transferring from different secondary school systems with large differences
in prior knowledge, and transferring from very different cultural backgrounds. In
this empirical contribution, the authors focus on the role an adaptive online tutorial
as component of the blend can play in bridging the consequences of a broad range of
differences such as prior mastery of the subject, cultural background, and learning
approaches. They do so by investigating the relationships between the intensity of
the use of the e-tutorial and students’ characteristics related to nationality, cultural
background, learning styles, goal-setting behavior, achievement motivations, self-concept
constructs, and subject attitudes. |
