Based on subject matter and learning goals
|
Use rotatable 3D plots.
|
- Students and experts perceive the 3D LOs as a valuable addition to the textbook.
|
Students and Experts
|
Integrate the conceptual and empirical aspect of confounding.
|
- Teachers confirm that the 3D LOs support the learning goals for confounding.
|
Experts
|
|
- Experts in epidemiology confirm that the 3D LOs apply accepted scientific views on confounding.
|
Experts
|
|
- Experts in epidemiology confirm that it is useful to use the 3D LOs in addition to epidemiological textbooks and lectures.
|
Experts
|
|
- 80% of the students are able to answer exam questions (which integrate the conceptual and empirical approach) correctly.
|
Evaluation of exams
|
Based on learning and instruction theories
|
Actively engage the students [26].
|
- Students feel that the elements in the 3D LOs that require them to become active learners help them to understand confounding.
|
Students
|
Visualize important concepts. [10,11].
|
- Students perceive the plots in the 3D LOs as a valuable addition to the textbook.
|
Students
|
|
- Students feel that actively manipulating the 3D plots helps them to understand confounding.
|
Students
|
Motivate the students (based on ARCS model [27]): the LOs should:
|
- Students feel that the elements that require them to become active learners motivate them to study.
|
Students
|
- capture the Attention of the student,
|
- Students judge the material with at least a 4 (on a five-point scale).
|
Students
|
- be received as Relevant
|
- Students feel they learned from the 3D LOs.
|
Students
|
- induce Confidence and Satisfaction by students.
|
- The student is able to solve the exercises.
