Then, rather thanusing pre-established structures for their course, they can determine the teaching elements thatwould be the most appropriate to reach those objectives. By continuing to move “backwards”, thetopics to be emphasized can be selected, and lastly, the content of each class can be set. Here, using backwards design, we adopt a hybrid approach, and present a multi-leveled activecourse. We created a new course structure that incorporates, in an engineering course, the activeelements that are traditionally used in business school curricula. By doing so, the “Fundamentalsof Nanobiotechnology and Nanobioscience” course aims to get students more involved andengaged in

establish an AP Engineeringcourse for American high school students have come many questions about the legitimacy ofsuch a plan. Questions about what to teach, how to grade student work and how to train teachersare some of the most prevalent. One universal question posed is: Can high school teachers, mostof whom are not engineers, effectively teach a college level introduction to engineering course? In this paper, we will examine longitudinal data documenting the success of the UA dual creditcourse, ENGR 102 HS. We will specifically tease out teacher effectiveness in relation to years inservice, and teacher/student gender match. Finally, we will examine teacher education comparingthose meeting the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) guidelines and

The goal is to encourage direct, specific responses to the assignment, makingthe student’s thinking as clear as possible. Development of more expansive text in the style of ajournal article comes later (primarily in Course 2). Typical assignments include the following: 1.Develop a list of preliminary readings and keywords; 2. Write and present a 1-page descriptionof the specific topic of the planned literature review; 3.

Intrinsic value based reasons for engaging in a task include: curiosity, mastery, orfor the challenge of it. Self-regulation and strategy use comprise the learning strategies measure.Self-regulation refers to a combination of cognitive regulation; the use of planning andcomprehension monitoring, and effort regulation which consists of measuring a student’s abilityand willingness to persist at tasks. Strategic use indicates one’s ability to strategically implementpractices such as rehearsal, elaboration, and organization learning strategies [24, 29].The 20 students in the 2017 AcES cohort took the MSLQ survey at

Initially,Boswell’s team had planned highly structured, daily reflection activities. Over time, they learnedstudents had negative reactions to the trips’ structured reflections.

In this method, thecourse instructor typically collaborates with a learning scientist to document and analyze theimpact of carefully planned instruction. Each cycle provides an opportunity to evaluate how theinstruction did or did not support learning as intended. This study, therefore, builds on findingsfrom the previous two iterations.Participants & settingThe participants included 56 students in 10 teams enrolled in a sophomore-level materials andenergy balances course, a core course in the chemical engineering program at a Hispanic-servingresearch
