In this episode of The APS Publications podcast, coauthors Shea E. Carr, Thad E. Wilson, and Jennifer L. Osterhage highlight their education research titled "Assigned group work is associated with increased student motivation and perceptions of belonging in an asynchronous online physiology laboratory course." This study explores the effect of assigned group work in an asynchronous online physiology laboratory course on student motivation and belonging. Students’ perceptions of belonging and competence-related beliefs were higher, and effort and psychological costs were lower, when assigned to groups compared to students not assigned to groups. Students assigned to groups noted peer interactions as the most inclusive aspect of the course, whereas instructor interactions were noted as inclusive by those not assigned group work.
