Therefore, the author began anintended extensive analysis of consecutive semesters. All students enrolled in the Fall 2019introductory game development course (n=56 for students with matched data sets, 59 retainedparticipant students total) were engaged in cooperatively-designed lectures and lab activities,with the first half of the semester’s lighter collaborative activity and independent assigned workto be compared to the second half’s full-time group project work. Between these designedhalves, two null hypotheses were assessed: 1) lab attendance in the first half of the semester isequivalent to the second

This is due to thereason that our brain is an image processor and most of our sensory cortex is used for vision.Words are abstract and sometimes challenging to explain an object based on its size, location,shape or relation to other objects [1]. However, three-dimensional thinking uses our ability toillustrate an idea, location or object. It allows us to rapidly and easily visualize an experience andrecall all the fine details involved. It is proven that various types of visual tools can be effectivein learning [2], [3].
For young students, visual information helps them to comprehend and recall information withease and efficiency. Using AR application for education can also help students learn the

The first challenge is the relatively lower academic performance of USstudents in comparison to the other 35 countries of the Organization of Economic Cooperationand Development (OECD) as evidenced by the data of the Program for International StudentAssessment (PISA). According to the 2018 assessment PISA [1] which measured themathematics, science and reading skills of 15-year old students from almost 80 countries, theaverage score of US students in science was lower than six of the 36 countries OECD. Theperformance of US students in math literacy is even more concerning. The average score of USstudents in math was lower than the average math score of students from all the OECD

Developing and instructing engineering students to be experienced in theabove-mentioned qualities and also thrive within the biomedical field is a daunting task requiringa creative solution. One successful solution is business integrated teaching and learningtechniques where engineering students team with medical professionals to experienceshortcomings faced by doctors, nurses, and healthcare providers [2]. However, this modelrequires engineering students to have access to hospitals or clinics with willing practitioners toact as mentors, and not all Higher Education Institutions (HEI) offering degrees in biomedicalengineering have this type of

To explore this, students were askedto respond to two open-ended survey questions: (1) How do you view your role in society as anengineer or computer scientist? (2) List the ethical issues that you think are relevant to engineersand/or computer scientists. It was of interest to determine if student responses would vary fromthe beginning to the end of a term or across 15 settings where instructors had integrated contentand learning goals pertaining to ESI (ranging from first-year introductory courses to coursesfully focused on ethics at different

This paper presents two studies: 1) using the CATSinstrument to validate multiple-choice format exams for classroom assessment, and 2) using theCATS instrument as a measure of metacognitive growth over time. The first study focused onvalidation of instructor generated multiple choice exams because they are easier to administer,grade, and return for timely feedback, especially for large enrollment classes. The limitation ofmultiple choice exams, however, is that it is very difficult to construct questions to measurehigher order content knowledge beyond recalling facts. A correlational study was

Specific to undergraduate education in modern times, thisengagement is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, it is perhaps characterized by more open-ended learning experiences that promote discovery and the formation of learning associationsacross a spectrum of content areas [3].Board games are extremely popular amongst younger generations with annual sales topping $9billion [4]. It has been theorized in the literature that board games are an ideal medium forteaching course content as it helps to form a common language between instructors and students[5]. Similar
