摘要:The present study aim to describe students’ attitudes and perceptions toward plenary lectures, and more specifically, the use of multimodal presentations (e.g., PowerPoint) and traditional lectures (e.g., chalk and talk). Two attitude scales were built upon four items measuring students’ perception of the (1) lecture structure, (2) learning outcome, (3) motivation to attend lectures and (4) interaction between students and lecturer when one of the two lecturing mediums were used. Students (N = 174, 94.8% completion rate) from either the University of Bergen or NLA University College were asked to take part in an exploratory survey using a personal response system (“clickers”). The study suggest that many students wish for more use of complex multimodal presentations (including animations and/or videos). Yet, positive attitudes toward such mediums are conditional on students’ preferred lecture format and students’ perception of their lecturers’ digital and didactic competence.
