Abstract Background Feedback is one of the most powerful and essential tools for learning assessment, particularly when it provides information necessary to close an existing gap between actual reference levels performance. The literature on feedback has primarily focused addressing strategies providing effective rather than aspects students' readiness engage with feedback. Purpose/Hypothesis This study investigated whether reflection, as a routine pedagogical intervention grounded in...

This study investigates the relationship between two related computational thinking practices: data practices and problem-solving in acquiring during a first-year undergraduate engineering course. While theory is still developing, empirical studies can help further understand how students demonstrate this knowledge their progression attaining practices. Therefore, with study, following questions are addressed. RQ1: What differences students' at beginning of an introductory programming...

In this Research-to-Practice Full Paper, two different reflection prompts in the form of unstructured and structured reflections were implemented an engineering course to guide students towards improved self-regulated learning behaviors, specifically accessing feedback on their assignments. The setting for study employed standards-based grading (SBG) which provides rich students' proficiency with objectives. Low student access feedback, delivered through a management system (LMS), was seen...

Abstract More than 50% of the time spent in building solutions is debugging software. Despite importance software development, how students debug, and strategies reasoning use for are still not clear. This work progress will present preliminary results on students' preferred compare them with their learning gains during a programming course. We focus answering following questions: a) "Is there difference between preference course achievements?"; b) change preferences across novice...

Abstract This research paper presents the development and validation of an instrument intended to measure engagement students with a standards-based grading (SBG) system. A 26-item was developed theoretical structure meant examine three aspects student SBG system: their use stated learning objectives (LOs) (9 items), timely access feedback (7 guide subsequent (10 items). The administered in large first-year engineering course at Midwestern university that used well-developed Following...

Abstract Ph.D. graduate students in engineering are being hired industry at higher rates compared to institutions of education. Yet, workforce preparedness, typically occurring within these education, not equipped help transition into the workforce. Therefore, better prepare our students, we must start by understanding current state professional preparation programs both and academia. This exploratory study's purpose was scope existing peer-reviewed published articles describing focus target...

Abstract First-year engineering courses are relatively large with several sections; thus, it can be rather difficult for an individual instructor to recognize when a particular student begins lose engagement. Learning management systems (LMS) (e.g., Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace) valuable tools provide consistent curriculum across sections of course and generate data regarding students' engagement materials. However, human-centered approach transform the needs utilized extract insights...

Abstract This full research paper discusses the experiences of five Latiné/x faculty in engineering and what motivated them towards developing equity-minded educational practices for their undergraduate students. The participants provided written reflections on how life professional have informed said practices. From a social constructionism paradigm using narrative inquiry methodology, combination vivo descriptive coding (first cycle) followed by emergent focused (second were used first...

Abstract Grading is one of the most relevant hurdles for instructors, diverting instructor's focus on development engaging learning activities, class preparation, and attending to students' questions. Institutions instructors are continuously looking alternatives reduce educators' time required grading, frequently, resulting in hiring teaching assistants whose inexperience frequent rotation can lead inconsistent subjective evaluations. Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT‐4 may alleviate...

This research WIP contributes to understanding the relationship between learning engagement in Learning Management System (LMS) and outcomes an online course. In large engineering courses, it is challenging for instructors identify who engaging with course materials at a level necessary be successful terms of outcomes. The purpose this study two-fold: (1) develop metrics quantifying learner (2) explore student success. Our question is: How does relate outcomes? We modeled on using following...

Abstract This research paper presents a literature review of Computational Thinking (CT) frameworks and assessment practices. CT is 21st century way solving problem. It refers specifically to the methods that are effective when trying solve problem with machine or other computational tools. In past few years, researchers educationists' significant movement started look for formal definition composition in K-12 higher education. From this effort, over 20 different definitions have emerged....

Sketchtivity is a stylus-based intelligent tutoring system that can help instructors automatically provide feedback to their students, saving them the time and effort of providing personalized themselves. The uses generic evaluation perspective, direction, accuracy give students on quality sketches. If want personalize metrics, would require multiple sets samples. Therefore, may use instructional team members such as teaching graduate assistants required Compared assistants, they produce...
