Case Study Research, Critical Hermeneutics, and Metacognition: Create Active Blended Learning to Enhance Maximum Retention through Original Videos

Abstract

During Fall Semester 2020, I perform case study research on a single subject (myself) to prove the hypothesis that I create a model which helps me to present metacognitive training to maximize retention for students who participate in the class weekly, who post discussions, and who are writing papers. Do video lectures enhance learning and maximize retention in online classes? What are the effects on my teaching and my performance as a Professor when I create a model? How do video lectures help me to present metacognitive training to maximize retention? During the during Fall Semester 2020, I perform case study research on a single subject to prove the hypothesis that I create a model which helps me to present metacognitive training to maximize retention for all the students who participate in the class weekly, who post discussions, and who are writing papers. I participate seven days during every study week of the eight-week online class. I showed enthusiasm for teaching, since I extended the weekly content by using my own videos based on my own writing to frame a story line that offered planning and outline, writing developmental paragraphs, writing a literary critique, and comparing two short stories.
