abstract

  • © American Society for Engineering Education, 2021During 2020, COVID-19 dramatically changed the way in which students receive and analyze information from their teachers, classes have moved from face-to-face sessions into synchronous virtual meetings and asynchronous homework, increasing stress levels in students. This Evidence-based Practice paper explores Guided Learning Sequences as a content delivery strategy which allows the student to receive information, think about its meaning, put it into practice, and receive instantaneous feedback in order to reinforce their learning process. Empirical evidence from 108 students in a Business Mathematics course shows a statistically significant decrease of students' stress level when exposed to the proposed methodology. As well, a pre-test post-test analysis of a sample of 45 of those students shows evidence of positive impact in student's performance.
