Abstract

The present study is an extension of implementation of the course structure which was initially designed, developed and implemented at Texas A&M University for engineering courses. This study extends its implementation to other STEM courses to assess its applicability and effectiveness in science related courses. The course structure is employed at the Chemistry department at University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV). The present study is an autoethnography of the implementation of the course structure and its effectiveness assessment. This study highlights the implementation of the course structure considering student motivation and learning since student motivation is an important research area for modern instructional design. Lab course motivation is incorporated by asking the students to make TikTok videos of labs and submitting them on Blackboard.
