To that end, the instructor began the semester with a reflective exercisethat asked students to read Robert Leamson’s (2002) essay “Learning (Your First Job),”comment online about their impressions of the article, and be prepared to discuss in class. Thereflective comments from students regarding this essay were revealing: “These are all things thatwere not explicitly obvious to me as a student and I would have very much liked to have readthis as a freshman.” This piece is especially important as we believe it made an importantdifference in students’ capacity to persevere in this class.The difference in DFW outcomes between the two engineering courses for this

quiz as seen by students. At the beginning of each class, the instructor poses each ofthe Conceptual Questions from the pre-work assessment to the class, takes a “vote” on it, andthen leads a discussion on the different answers and approaches. These discussions encouragestudents to reflect on the reasoning behind their misconceptions and how it relates to thereasoning behind the actual solutions. Namely, the students and the instructor discuss why some(incorrect) answers appeared attractive and seemed right, and ultimately what is (or should be)the reasoning behind choosing the one correct answer. However, these interactive discussions are rather brief, taking just a very small portion of the class, to enable the other components ofinstruction

Her attention to the whole roomand the larger task of inquiry overall could be wider than if she were narrowed in on helpingindividual groups.Leslie held a constructivist stance in inquiry instruction. I believe that Leslie desired studentswork with data from empirical observation and withheld giving away the steps because Lesliethinks learning happens when students construct understandings from experiences,communication, and reflection, indicating a constructivist learning stance. A constructivist stanceis made up of many smaller reasoning resources including perhaps, “knowledge is constructednot given” and others. Leslie

as they apply to K-12 education. In 2013, the Next Generation Science Standards reflected the growing interest in K-12 engineering by integrating it with the science curriculum. In contrast to the prior standards, the NGSS explicitly included engineering as a foundational component of the curriculum, with engineering concepts included in the requirements for each grade level. In fact, the final NGSS document body included over three hundred uses of the word engineering. Taking advantage of recent research into science learning, the standards also propose a new view of teaching science. Whereas the earlier standards heavily emphasized science content knowledge, the new standards took a more holistic view of science. Science education
