Out of the ten participants, five students commented on spending more timeoutside of the classroom, mainly dedicated to studying and completion of assignments. Therewere three students who felt that their time balances out between inside and outside of class.One of the students highlighted how the class meeting time is relatively limited, which leaves themajority of the day to the students to spend however they like: “there's definitely a lot more

Ninety-two responses for eachsubscale were coded and used to calculate the mean. Because the statements alternate betweenthe positive and negative, care is taken when calculating the mean [20] for each subscale. Thelatest research suggests that negatively worded items should not be used because they measuredifferent constructs [22]. To address this issue, items from even numbered statements werereverse scored before calculating the mean score. The first subscale reflects responses related tothe participants’ perception of the usability of the method. For this subscale, the mean score wascalculated from

Since Fall 2017, the percentage of pre-construction majorshas been steady in the 60-65% range of the total construction student population. Thispercentage is still much higher than what was anticipated based upon academic requirements.BackgroundThe two needs identified in the self-study (retention and academic support) lead to the theoreticalunderpinning of this proposed study, Tinto’s theory of student engagement and retention [1975,1993].

Later, after repolling, the instructor can view thechange in the students’ responses and reflect upon the effectiveness (or lack thereof) ofadditional comments or explanations. It is indeed humbling for an instructor to experiencenegligible or even “incorrect” changes among students’ responses after “the perfect explanation”has been given.

According to Healey andJenkins [24], learning styles reflect a diversity of environmental considerations including thoseattributable to gender and cultural differences. Willingham, et al. [25] and others [26]–[28],however, contend that there are inherent problems with the learning styles theories and that theylack scientific rigor.Kolb’s model suggests that experiential learning can be characterized as a four-phase cyclicmodel.

Gendered effects of performance in CS areinfluenced by the social environment, whereas programming experience in high school or undergraduateeducation beyond introductory CS is reflective of the opportunity that students have in their pre-collegeenvironment. We also take students’ grades in the linear algebra course to be reflective of theirenvironment, rather than their ability, because the programming assignment we study involved forming anAx = b matrix from a set of equations. Based on students’ difficulty with this concept in class, wehypothesized that having prior knowledge of linear algebra would be helpful on this programmingassignment.

The knowledge gap also often results in the repetition of topics and prolongedlab sessions, as well as more serious issues such as the mishandling of equipment.STEM instruction typically is based on verbal, deductive, reflective, and sequential learningmethods. However, studies show that students in science and engineering programs tend to dowell with visual, inductive, active, and global learning methods. With this information in mind,we developed custom pre-lab videos to address the knowledge gap. The pre-lab videosdemonstrate basic usage and implementation of laboratory equipment, software tools
