Using predictive modeling methods, it is possible to identify at-risk students early and inform both the instructors students. While some universities have started use standards-based grading, which has educational advantages over common score-based at–risk prediction models not been adapted reap benefits of grading in courses that utilize this grading. In paper, we compare methods a course used Only in-semester performance data were available methods. When identifying students, important...

B ackground Research in engineering education tends to focus on students' factual knowledge about engineering, their interests and attitudes, conceptions of the engineer relation curriculum development. Thus, it is essential expand our understanding phenomenon as foundation for informing STEM standards curriculum.

Abstract This paper describes a preliminary validation study of the Instructional Material Motivational Survey (IMMS) derived from Attention, Relevance, Confidence and Satisfaction motivational design model. Previous studies related to IMMS, however, suggest its practical application for evaluation in various instructional settings without support empirical data. Moreover, there is lack discussion regarding validity instrument. Therefore, this empirically examined IMMS as A computer‐based...

Integrating more engineering contexts, introducing advanced topics, addressing multiple ABET criteria, and serving under-represented student populations in foundation courses are some of the opportunities realized by use a new framework for developing real-world client-driven problems. These problems called model-eliciting activities (MEAs), they based on models modeling perspective developed mathematics education. Through NSF-HRD gender equity project that has funded development, use, study...

This study examines the effects of integrated science, technology, and engineering ( STE ) education on second‐, third‐, fourth‐grade students' content knowledge aspirations concerning after validation measures. During 2009–2010 school year, 59 elementary teachers, who attended a week‐long teacher professional development TPD program, implemented lessons in schools large, south‐central U.S. district. At beginning end Student Knowledge Tests SKTs Engineering Identity Development Scale EIDS...

B ackground K‐12 teachers typically lack formal instruction on engineering. To address this issue, the Institute for P‐12 Engineering Research and Learning (INSPIRE) developed engineering academies elementary teachers. During 2006 2007, 40 participating in each completed an photo journal.

Abstract Self-directed learning requires students engage deeply in all three metacognitive dimensions: Planning, Monitoring, and Evaluating. While instructors may currently integrate different activities courses that provide the opportunity for students' engagement, they might not draw into thinking deeply. For new engineering educators, it be challenging to select could sufficient student engagement metacognition. The purpose of study was investigate pairing self-evaluation self-reflection...

Are you interested in creating open-ended, client-driven, realistic engineering tasks for undergraduate students that will introduce them to the world of early their academic careers? With support National Science Foundation, model-eliciting activities (MEAs) were created and implemented with first-year at Purdue University. These are open-ended modeling problems advanced content yet suitable students. In this paper, we give a personal account research development nano roughness MEA. We...

B ackground Providing formative feedback on student responses to complex, open‐ended problems is challenging as solutions vary in content and quality. Instructors need interpret work give with high potential guide students close the gap between actual reference level performance. To understand instructor its impact, a framework for analyzing necessary.

The ultimate objective of teacher professional development (TPD) is to deliver a positive impact on students’ engagement and performance in class through practice via improving their content pedagogical knowledge changing attitudes toward the subject being taught. However, compared other areas, such as mathematics science, relatively few engineering TPD programs have been developed, there has lack research effective for K-12 education. As part five-year longitudinal project, this study...

The educational applications of extended reality (XR) modalities, including virtual (VR), augmented (AR), and mixed (MR), have increased significantly over the last ten years. Many educators within Architecture, Engineering, Construction (AEC) related degree programs see student benefits that could be derived from bringing these modalities into classrooms, which include but are not limited to: a better understanding each subdisciplines coordination necessary between them, visualizing oneself...

Abstract Instructional change in higher education has been historically slow. However, the COVID-19 pandemic propelled unprecedented when instructors were forced to transition remote course delivery middle of an academic semester. This forced-change is atypical and provided a rare opportunity study instructor through lens adaptability. A hybrid convergent sequential mixed-methods was used track related teaching along dimensions cognition, behavior, emotions during Spring 2020 semester using...

Abstract Change in Elementary Student Conceptions of Engineering Following an Intervention as Seen from the Draw-an-Engineer Test Track: Research PaperStudents' conceptions engineering, and particularly elementary students, have been studiedusing Draw-an-Engineering (DAET). This instrument asks students to draw engineerdoing engineering work then write about what engineer is doing, typically a sentenceor two. Researchers found that associate with fixing, building, andworking on things;...

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...

The Draw an Engineer Test (DAET) is a common measure of students' perceptions engineers. coding systems currently used for K-12 research are general rubrics or checklists to capture the images presented in drawing, which leave out some richness perceptions, only captured with accompanying student interview. purpose this study build reliable system, first establishes inventory pictorial elements irrespective their potential relationship engineering and second captures aspects inductively...

Abstract Assessment of student achievement using a grading system is major task required engineering educators. Most higher education institutions use traditional, summative score-­based that relies on educators to assign an end ­of semester letter grade representative in the course. The default grades by tabulating scores from multiple assignments, summing assignment scores, and determining final course based predetermined scale. Such approach inherently fails meet conditions sound...
