Co-teaching has historically been used in K–12 education to provide students with disabilities access general curriculum; therefore, much of the co-teaching literature focused on population. Research collegiate more limited and largely advantages disadvantages co-teaching, omitting important factors that affect relationships between partners. This qualitative study involved seven interviews co-teachers graduate undergraduate classes order better understand interactions college-level dyads....

Abstract Metacognition, defined as the knowledge and regulation of one's own cognitive processes, is critically important to student learning particularly instrumental in problem-solving. Despite importance metacognition, much research has occurred controlled settings such that less known about how help students develop metacognitive skills classroom settings. Further, there are significant bodies on role metacognition writing solving math problems, but little work been done within...

Accordingly, it is essential introduce realistic robots all students, not only those majoring robotic-centric programs so that are well prepared for modern workplace. When students...

Metacognition plays a key role in the development of an effective, reflective engineering student who is learning to solve ill-structured problems. While we have developed intervention engage students their metacognitive within existing courses, it equally important consider instructors' perspectives. This work-in-progress presents results our analysis 14 instructor semi-structured interview responses regarding implementation issues, value for intervention, and potential implications...

Abstract In undergraduate engineering education, students are often overexposed to problem-solving methods that unrepresentative of how problems solved in practice. For decision-making particular, commonly taught compare alternative solutions using information is known and provided. However, many real-world require a broader range strategies, including seeking, extrapolation decision’s consequences, compromise between parties with competing objectives. Accordingly, this paper describes...

This paper describes a novel institutional change model, embodied in the Engineering Education Transformations Institute at University of Georgia, that was intentionally designed to build community and expertise around scholarly teaching learning engineering education. The model is informed by several theoretical constructs, including complex systems theory, propagation paradigm, strengths perspective, ecological design principles. goals this are twofold. First, we introduce these constructs...

Recently, games have grown in popularity as tools to support student learning and motivation. Accordingly, represent one possible contributor motivation, an outcome of engineering education particularly important persistence. However, research into game-based - a broad term referring the use has been rather narrow date, focusing on proving or disproving effectiveness tools. As evidence supporting games' continues mount, it is that field broaden its inquiry provide practice-based insights...

Abstract In the past decade, games have developed an increasingly strong theoretical and empirical basis for effectiveness as pedagogical tools, interest in use of has increased engineering education. To date, most game-based learning (GBL) research treats GBL a single, unifiable pedagogy, implying that fostered by one activity should be comparable to others. This implication led many studies aggregate findings across make broad statements about pedagogy's effectiveness. our experience,...
