specifically, responses from Question 2 of the firstand second activities were qualitatively evaluated using the rubric presented in Table 4. Thisparticular question, which was repeated in both activities, prompts the students with “Whatinformation do you think you need to know to answer the driving question? List all of the factorsand/or variables that are needed and identify which ones are the most important. For eachfactor/variable listed, offer a rationale for why it is needed. For example, through whatmechanism/s does it affect strength enhancement?” The rubric was designed to gain an overviewof the general state of student understanding of nanomaterials at the nanoscale and theirrelevance in the context of cement mortar.

These Student Instructors are students that previouslycompleted the course and returned to take on the responsibility for the design and delivery oflearning experiences in the classroom. Faculty, therefore, assume a coaching role with the SIsand no longer act as the source of knowledge, educational material, and content delivery for thecourse.This research paper delves into the impact that this learning experience has on studentmotivation.
