Abstract
Summary. This paper describes an attempt to identify different levels of processing of information among groups of Swedish university students who were asked to read substantial passages of prose. Students were asked questions about the meaning of the passages and also about how they set about reading the passages. This approach allows processes and strategies of learning to be examined, as well as the outcomes in terms of what is understood and remembered. The starting point of this research was that learning has to be described in terms of its content. From this point differences in what is learned, rather than differences in how much is learned, are described. It was found that in each study a number of categories (levels of outcome) containing basically different conceptions of the content of the learning task could be identified. The corresponding differences in level of processing are described in terms of whether the learner is engaged in surface-level or deep-level processing.

Use of Lecture Capture in Undergraduate Biological Science Education.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the use of lecture capture in students in a large 3rd year undergraduate biological science course at the University of Guelph and found that viewing behaviour, academic performance, and attendance were analyzed in relation to student learning approach (as assessed by the R-SPQ-2F), gender, and year of post-secondary education.

Classroom as Reality: Demonstrating Campaign Effects Through Live Simulation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the utilization of a campaign simulation conducted within the classroom of an applied politics program, where students enter with previous experience on how to best run campaigns and the ultimate effects on learning for undergraduate students that serve as voters in their mock elections.

On qualitative differences in learning: iv—effects of intrinsic motivation and extrinsic test anxiety on process and outcome

TL;DR: Lack of interest in the text, efforts to adapt to expected test demands, and high test anxiety were all found to increase the tendency towards surface-processing and ineffective, reproductive attempts at recall, but an adaptive approach allied to strong interest and low anxiety produced a high proportion of deep-level approaches with good factual recall.
