The secondstage focuses on projective spatial ability and is often acquired by children by the time they areadolescences for objects they are familiar with. For this stage, a child should be able to visualizethree-dimensional objects and perceive what they will look like from different viewpoints. Thespatial curriculum in this study aims to fully develop students at this second stage and start layingthe foundational work for the third and final stage of development – combined measurement andprojective skills. An example of the skills acquired in the final stage is the ability to determinewhat size container to use for leftover food or estimating the distance traveled

In addition, his research group has produced a number of other open-source tools used in classrooms at many other institutions. Currently, he is researching innovative for giving feedback to students as they work on assignments to provide a more welcoming experience for students, recognizing the effort they put in and the accomplish- ments they make as they work on solutions, rather than simply looking at whether the student has finished what is required.

The numerical scores given to these assignments and exams coulddistract, and sometimes discourage, students from actual learning. From the instructor’sperspective, written exams may not give an accurate evaluation of their students’ understanding asmany different factors may interfere with a student’s ability to answer written exam questions.One alternative assessment instrument is oral assessment.

Forexample, although A5 had the most progressive statements on society integrated throughout theirpaper, when it got down to the actual project it was still heavily focused on the technical. Afterthe students’ first semester, they submitted a proposal document which included “the designteam’s preliminary engineering analysis and design work, [and] a detailed work statement,proposed budget, and project completion schedule” (A5, p.3).

These projects require students to essentially create their own engineering problem from a real-world example, and to perform a parameter study of the important aspects of their chosen system. While this improvement cannot be definitively linked directly to the use of MHP, it is plausible that having students work more independently on their homework may improve their ability to formulate a new problem.At OSU… - Overall, students seemed to appreciate a homework policy where they had to support their answers with written work, as compared to a policy that only required entry of the correct answer into the online system.

Our results suggest that, despite the many contextualdifferences (e.g., age, point in professional career, race, ethnicity, etc.), role models and mentorsshare many of the same kinds of narratives around their values and aspirations. However, theapparent differences are often identity-relevant, and the role models’ narratives generated deepemotional responses in the researchers as viewers.
