applied probability itself, butalso for the nature of problems. They should understand structuring problems and posing problems.They should be informed that there is a spectrum of problems, ranging from well-structuredproblems with definite answers and clear boundaries, such as are found in traditional textbooks (andnowhere else), and open-ended, ill-structured problems, such as are found in the engineeringworkplace. The essential and unique point is that learners s must pose, clarify, and define problems,not simply solve them.And, at the same time, learners should practice metacognitive skills such as reflecting on how theyare building these schemes. Metacognitive activities are manifold and not easy to classify. Howeverthere is widespread

the MAI was used as a measuring tool in aresearch that examined the effects of teaching metacognitive strategies to 60 students in aphotography class. The results of the MAI exhibited an increase in the total mean score, from 65to 68 out of 100. The MAI was answered before and after assignments with instructions andpractice in reflection, planning and evaluation15.MAI has also been used at the faculty of Odontology in Malmö University in Sweden, for aproject focusing on students’ proficiency to learn in a problem-based curriculum. Students tookpart in different workshops; they watched a tutorial that was followed by discussions and workedin small groups designing cases.

Others have been designed for administrators andother key (male) leaders in the college in an effort to educate them about gender and climateissues in a non-threatening environment. Topic selection is influenced by popular sessionsfrom the monthly luncheons, faculty requests, issues of interest that surface from evaluation ofother programs, as well as serendipitous opportunities.As suggested by the formative project assessment to date, this approach appears to haveencouraged changes in attitudes and behavior related to climate issues in both women andmen STEM faculty.

An important evaluation function, therefore, is to assess the adequacy of program process: the program activities that actually take place and the services that are actually delivered in routine program operation (p. 170). In this work, the BMCA program fidelity is addressed by using onsite observations and aclear program description of program execution and delivery. In addition, empowermentevaluation approach is used throughout the evaluation process. Empowerment evaluation wascoined by David Fetterman in the early 1990s

device alone. Manufacturers usually provide libraries, header files, etc. that make interfacing to the specific hardware easier. However, it is becoming more common that these well- known languages are being modified or refined to contain commands or structures that are better suited with the hardware. Often times these modifications include commands whose name reflect the desired hardware-based outcome. For example, the command “analogRead(2)” reads the analog voltage at pin 2 on a certain embedded system. This is a built-in function which is pre-installed with the IDE for this device. Systems with built-in commands that intuitively describe the intended result generally allow the user to focus less on software challenges

informal networks provide the interview participants with access to help on homework,experiences of older students that inform decision making, guidance on the relative importanceof various courses and topics, and a host of related support issues.Discussion and ConclusionsThe findings from these interviews suggest that while overt experiences of gender stereotypes orsexism may be decreasing, some biases persist. Participants in this study demonstrated some ofthe same reluctance to talk about these gender biases seen in the work of earlier scholars such asTonso1 and Dryburgh4. At the same time, the women who participated in these interviews allenacted multiple strategies for negotiating those biases, some of which reflect shifts from

The statement “overall I rate this course asexcellent” received an average 4.6 on the same scale. Student comments reflect theirsense that the course was well designed “The experiments we did in class were a greatway to see the theory we discussed come true”; “It was a great way to connect what wewere learning to the everyday life of cooking.”.

the benefits of theseprograms. Various obstacles can prevent students from being able to participate in the informalprogram; reasons not to participate can range from logistical, time, or financial burdens. Theseparticular reasons do reflect a lack of interest in the activity; students may have the desire to join,but for one reason or another, they are unable to stay after school and participate. By integratingthe informal activity with the formal classroom environment, these otherwise unreached studentscan benefit from the program. Not only are these students able to participate in the activity, butbecause the time restraint is not as demanding, the students may be able to compete in theculminating event of the informal program since that
