Student Attitudes Toward Two Different Online Homework

Leena Yusra Nabulsi, Oluwatobi Odeleye

Abstract


In recent years, educators have attempted to use various methods of engagement with technology to improve student attitudes toward scientific fields. One method is shifting to online homework (OHW) systems. Attitudes toward two types of OHW are analyzed through administering surveys to students at the end of a first semester General Chemistry course. Results indicate a complicated relationship between attitudes and OHW. The traditional-responsive system is praised by students to be easy to manage, and the adaptive-responsive for its in-depth questions. Traditional-responsive system was criticized for oversimplifying and adaptive-responsive fore complexity. Furthermore, responses show there is a more complex interaction than just with the OHW system itself. Instructors should take care when selecting OHW systems for use in their classroom.
