Suggestions to the Instructors for Modifying the Learning Materials Based on the Students’ Attention and Feedback

Abstract

In traditional teacher-directed learning pedagogy (direct instruction), an instructor devotes a significant amount of time in delivering the instruction or lesson. As a result, class hours have not been used effectively for critical problem solving, collaborative activities, etc. Flipped learning is an innovative learning pedagogy in which students are allowed to take lesson from pre-recorded lecture videos outside class hours and be active and accountable for their development. Organization of pre-recorded lecture videos play an important role for effective learning. So, attentiveness of the students also depends on the arrangements and organization of the contents of lecture video. Research in this direction of educational technology is unexplored.In this paper, we propose a method to verify whether the organization of lecture videos is effective for the learner to learn the concept. In this proposed method, we suggest the instructors modify the learning materials (lecture video) based on the attention and feedback of the student. Dataset collected at National Institute of Technology Rourkela for the purpose of research in flipped learning is used. Results show the effectiveness of our proposed method.
