They canthen use this feedback to make adjustments to their teaching. Some researchers, while agreeingwith this definition, argue that much of the existing formative assessment research focuses onwhat

Furthermore, quantitative results revealed that this is an aspect to beimproved within the research site. Most respondents were aware of the existence of ethical codesbut they did not know how to apply them. Faculty should collaborate with school authorities inorder to explore how to integrate the teaching of ethical codes in the core curriculum courses17.This also applies to the reinforcement of codes of conduct. Although respondents were able torecognize potential ethical issues in engineering education, there was a high percentage ofstudents’ misconducts observed such as free

This path oftenrequires students to develop an interest in STEM by middle school, choose particular math andscience courses in middle- and high-school, and gain experience and exposure in STEMactivities through their high school tenure.

My exchange with Brooke destabilizes my originalassumptions that my failure to serve as I had intended was purely my fault, by providing anexample of another student who, like myself, entered engineering to make an impact, but is alsodissatisfied with her contributions. Brooke helps me see that the application of engineering toaddress social problems could have been integrated into my education, so that I didn’t have

We seek tobridge this gap in the literature by capturing engineering faculty perceptions about includingdiversity in the classroom and identifying what barriers prevent them adopting these conceptsinto their personal and collective teaching practices and pedagogy.Brief Literature ReviewIncorporating diversity into the classroom is a type of institutional change or reform.

They changed their curriculum gradually to have moreemphasis on ethics, feedback, and collaborative learning.

Moreover, Couse and Chen (2010) called for “more fully integrate technologyinto the curriculum to encourage the active engagement and thinking of young children” (p.76).Hence, in order to integrate apps into educational material and curriculum, it is important toselect the apps that promote children’s learning.
