Paper ID #43449Improving student outcomes in math through online faculty professional developmentDr. Chris S. Hulleman, University of Virginia Chris S. Hulleman is a professor of education and public policy at the University of Virginia. He is also the founder and director of the Motivate Lab, which collaborates with educational practitioners to help ameliorate systemic racism and inequality. His team develops and tests changes in educational practice that support the motivation of students from historically marginalized backgrounds in education. He received his BA from Central College (Iowa) in 1993 and his PhD in
ofstudent GAI use in coursework have been identified, including but not limited to ethical andaccess concerns, the understanding that GAIs are another disruptive technology, and recognizedbenefits for students who use GAIs—though those benefits were weighted against potentiallydetrimental effects. Each represents a potential recommendation and topic to address as thisresearch continues.References[1] S.

project.BMC As a TemplateIn order to develop a framework that gives a detailed description of the project developmentprocess for an engineering or technology course, the Business Model Canvas was used as a basestructure. The Business Model Canvas (or BMC) is a tool used by industries worldwide to createan initial business model [6]. It is a blank framework that is comprised of nine individual “blocks.”The nine blocks include: ● Customer Segments - The customer(s) the company is trying to reach. ● Value Proposition - The product for that customer(s). ● Customer Channels - Ways in which they will connect with the customer(s). ● Customer Relationships - Focuses on the processes of getting, keeping, and growing the customer base
theappropriateness of the feedback and manage the emotions (or affect) that comes withreceiving negative or constructive feedback. Carless and Boud argue that achieving thesethree feedback literacy competencies maximise the chances that a student will actually learnfrom feedback and take action.While there have been attempts to build on this model in the feedback literacy space, such asChong’s Ecological Perspective [7] and Wongvorachan et al.’s digital feedback literacymodel [8], these models have not become as ubiquitous as the original feedback literacymodel. An investigation of these models find that they tend to take the original feedbackliteracy model in its entirety and add additional dimensions and information too it (see Figure2). These dimensions

it just leaves people feeling really upset. And so then if you do commit, block off some time, however long you think it'll take you, maybe an hour, maybe two. And then, whatever you have done in that time, just send it, right? Like, I feel like people are so worried about like, "Oh, I'm either going to do it great or not going to do it at all."Overall, these results cover various supportive measures and align well with instrumental andpsychosocial mentoring functions [21].

The primaryresearch questions were: How did the instructor’s perspectives and behaviors change as theyimplemented oral exams in their courses? How did the instructors act on a growth-orientedmindset?MethodsWe invited six teaching professors from the departments of Mechanical and AerospaceEngineering and Electrical Engineering to participate in the study.

utilize the app with students and providing more concrete suggestions may have increased the number of faculty who took advantage of the offering.• Another unique element of this initiative was the partnership with the local organization who offered the mental health first aid training. This is the first time that the TLC partnered with a local organization. Another lesson learned from this experience was to look locally, beyond the university, to find resources relevant to faculty. We were extremely impressed with the quality of the training and the presenters and would not hesitate to work with them again for other relevant programming. Bibliography[1] S. Cutler and A. Coso

Literature across fields confirms several ways in which criticalconsciousness is defined and operationalized.

However, there is a lack of research and information addressingwhat specific strategies lead to success in EBIP adoption for specific teaching contexts, includingboth in-class activities and out-of-class preparation and motivation.To address these challenges, our research investigated proactive measures engineering faculty andteaching training centers can employ which are aimed at enhancing the successful adoption ofEBIPs. To achieve this goal, data were collected which fit under any of the following criteria: (i)hindrances experienced by engineering faculty in adopting EBIPs, (ii) support that was given ormeasures the faculty took that helped implement EBIPs, and (iii) what type(s) of EBIP the facultymember utilized.
