Abstract The use of online student response systems (OSRSs) is increasing within tertiary education providers, however, research investigating their potential to enhance student engagement is limited. The aim of the current study was to examine the impact of an OSRS using an experimental crossover design. Quantitative data measuring student engagement was compared from pre- to post-intervention. A qualitative analysis was used to further investigate student perceptions of the OSRS. The results from this study suggest that OSRSs may be appropriate tools to increase student engagement in undergraduate statistics classes. Despite no significant change in engagement scores observed when students were exposed to the OSRS than when they were not, students appreciated the novelty of the OSRS and perceived it to have had a positive impact on their learning experience. Suggestions for how to exploit the advantages of OSRSs and directions for further research are discussed.

通过使用在线学生响应系统促进课堂参与：混合方法分析

摘要在大专院校中，在线学生反应系统（OSRS）的使用正在增加，但是，研究其潜在的增强学生参与度的研究有限。当前研究的目的是使用实验性交叉设计来检验OSRS的影响。在干预前到干预后，对衡量学生参与度的定量数据进行了比较。定性分析用于进一步调查学生对OSRS的看法。这项研究的结果表明，OSRS可能是增加学生参与本科统计课的参与的合适工具。尽管与未接触OSRS的学生相比，在接触分数方面没有观察到显着变化，学生对OSRS的新颖性表示赞赏，并认为它对他们的学习体验产生了积极的影响。讨论了如何利用OSRS的优势的建议以及进一步研究的方向。
