Up to the presented activity, while DI has been thesole teaching methodology, students' feedback reflected the unit to be more of a mathematicaltechnical challenge, rather than an additional circuit theory insight. The intervention, whichtargeted a specific learning module of the whole course, had students work in groups to solveopen-ended circuit analysis problems utilizing differential equations

Theadjusted instrument was then administered in a pre/post manner to students in Spring 2024 andFall 2024.Preliminary results across all these terms indicated that students entered the class with anintermediate understanding of the subject matter, as reflected in their initial scores. As expected,misconceptions were common for concepts that are counterintuitive or deviate from students’experiences in the physical world. Subsequent analysis of the 2024 data revealed statisticallysignificant improvements in post-assessment scores, suggesting that students developed a morerobust understanding of the concepts throughout the course.The insights gained from administering

Metacognition is defined asinternal cognitive monitoring by Flavell [5] or simply thinking about internal thoughts. This self-reflective cognition can be greater achieved in a project setting where students are givenguidance and direction, but not necessarily the exact steps to completion. The metacognitiveapproach also applies to equipment, testing procedures, and technology used by the students inthe laboratory project.The purpose of this project is to aid

This isespecially true when students encounter an instructor who has a different system of markingpapers than teachers in their previous experience. For example, some instructors underlinesentences as positive feedback while others use underlining to indicate a problem. For students,the lack of clarity results in feedback being of limited use. Similarly, students need a clearunderstanding of how exactly to revise problematic writing. Many instructors use “facilitativefeedback,” which attempts to guide students toward revision using questions or reflections [14].Such feedback is written with the goal of maintaining student ownership over the work, butstudents who are unsure of their
