Education, 2018 Increasing Student Construction Interest by Engaging Elementary Students in an Inquiry-Based 3D Modelling After School Program Dr. XXXXX, XXXXU, XXXXXXX Dr. XXXXX, XXXXU, XXXXXXXAbstractThis study was part of a two-year funded grant investigating how to increase student interest andconsequent enrollment in construction education. The specifics of this aspect of the studyinvolved a grass-roots movement where construction education was introduced to elementarystudents (grades 4 – 6). The research model involved giving the students a construction interestinventory and career placement inventory pre-and post-participation in an after-school 3Dmodeling construction

The intricacy of buildings and their operation has been a field that needs more development in relation to future prospective careers for graduating col- lege students. This paper is geared for Facility Management professionals and students interested within this field of Construction Management. This paper explores the Facility Management career opportunities within the State of Oklahoma. Juvenal

’ struggles with courses such as ‘Surveying’ that need advanced quantitative skills.Overwhelmingly, construction students had positive attitudes towards science and mathematics,and agreed that these skills are needed for career success.This study demonstrates the need for curriculum improvements that will strengthen the SL skillsof construction students. Furthermore, contributions add value to knowledge base necessary toadvance construction education research on scientific literacy skill development. Insightsprovided may be used to guide construction curriculum improvement, with increased emphasison quantitative skills for solving real-world problems. Strategies such as tutoring, mathematicslaboratories, and math placement tests could increase

. The data showed that itpromoted increased metacognition and career formation, coursework engagement, classparticipation and a sense of belonging. Recommendations on further research are tohighlight specific cognitive aspects of peer teaching.Kim et al. (2014) were interested in understanding the impact of peer teaching on studentlearning in a theory based and laboratory Electric Circuits course. Their case study isdesigned to allow teams of two student Peer Assistants (PAs) to prepare and presentcourse materials for the week they are assigned. Each week a different team presents andby the end of the course each student has become a PA. The authors start the report withintroducing the concept of peer teaching, defining it and describing

. If individuals mustexpend a great amount of time and effort to accomplish a goal, then they are more likely tochoose an activity that they feel capable of performing successfully and that will lead to a moreattainable valued outcome rather than wasting their time in a self-perceived futile endeavor [37].The expectancy value theory of motivation holds that people engage in activities to accomplishgoals because of the perceived value associated with their likely outcomes. For example, if theinstructional topic is perceived by the student as relevant and valuable in attaining a sought aftergoal, the student will be motivated to perform [13, 31]. It’s common in career and technicalprograms that too many students fail to see the relevancy in
