this question has produced significant research under thetitle of “active learning” [1], [18]–[22]. In discussing “active learning,” we are often addressingpedagogical approaches that have been developed to support increased engagement in thelearning process [3]. These pedagogies are developed and influenced from the shared, growingunderstanding of how people learn, as described in theories of learning and learning science [23].Active learning pedagogies, such as cooperative learning or project-based learning, tend to drawupon social constructivism and situated theories of learning, as well as cognition [3]. In lookingacross these theories, learning is not just an act of information processing, but an act of sense-making individually and with

Pitfall #3 – Breaking course-level learning outcomes down into unit-level learning outcomes and further into daily learning outcomes can lead you away from actually assessing the higher-order thinking skills written into the course-level LO’s! Similarly, assigning only problems tied directly to the most recent “lesson” or writing quizzes that closely resemble the most recent homework likely won’t assess higher-level LO’s

While critics of the agencycomplain that regulations are unwieldy, overly complicated, and extend beyond the EPA’sjurisdiction [75], there is little doubt that some actions, such as the Clean Air Act, havedramatically improved the environment, even though they may have an economic impact onbusiness and delay projects due to required environmental assessments.Students may have certain negative biases about EPA regulations, and the current politicalatmosphere reinforces those.

This ability would enable the student tocommunicate ideas in subsequent design classes with peers on teams as well as contribute insome work settings. Learning to follow engineering graphic conventions was the base leveloutcome. Many of these conventions can be enacted algorithmically, much as a CAD systemcan automatically generate orthographic projections given geometric information about a part.So, at a deeper level the goal was to learn to generate mental imagery of a part and understandinformation from that level. Correspondingly, the underlying assumption was that

Only14.8% of transfer students report involvement in a faculty research project, whereas 35.1% ofnon-transfer students report engaging in research. This difference is possibly due to their shorttenure at the university and the challenges of beginning as a research assistant.Transferring to a research institution also changed the instructor

To facilitate student involvement in a lecture format, students must be prepared tocontribute to the discussion of new material.One common model for experiential learning is the Kolb Experiential Learning Cycle [1,2], whichhas four steps: 1. Introduction of new experience, 2. Reflection on this experience, 3. Abstractionof this experience, and 4. Application of this experience. An essential component of this cycle isallowing students the time to reflect on new experiences.
