Description¶

The article's discussion identifies implementation aspects that shaped perceptions: procuring "a classroom set of clickers avoided students' concerns regarding clicker cost," answers had no direct impact on course grades, and clickers were used only in six lessons rather than daily. The authors suggest more frequent use might have produced more negative perceptions and propose exploring a saturation point with clicker use.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• A classroom set of clickers or another means of avoiding student cost concerns

Constraints¶

• If clickers had been used more frequently, students may have developed more negative perceptions, believing they should earn points for participation

Target Learners¶

• undergraduate students in mathematics content courses

Target Learning Goals¶

• positive perceptions of technology-enhanced instruction
• meaningful engagement with mathematics content

Affordances¶

• Mpi Answer Discuss Answer Clicker Model
