The role of analyzing systems is to promote agency [39], that is to act upon the results of theanalysis and in so doing improve the situation. A fundamental element of leadership is action.Senge underscores this theme with the choice of the title in one of his book sections, “How OurActions Create Our Reality… And How We Can Change It” [3, loc. 145].Course Overview Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, USA offers an online Master of Arts degree inOrganizational Leadership (ORGL).

Epistemic games are simulations that allow students to act as practitioners in a simulatedreal-world environment while gathering data on students’ development as practitioners within agiven epistemic frame (Chesler et al., 2013). In engineering epistemic games, students role play asinterns for a virtual company and are tasked with a real-world design problem to engage them inthe engineering design process. Within the engineering epistemic game Nephrotex (Chesler et al.,2013), students are tasked with designing a dialysis membrane for therapeutic blood ultrafiltration.The design process involves the participation of multiple students (i.e., design teammates) and adesign mentor as students

Moreover,educators ought to be intimately familiar with and have a deep understanding of commonmisconceptions of content knowledge held by students and should proactively address them [10].This paper is concerned with identifying and analyzing teaching practices that can supportsuccessful integration of robotics-based lessons and activities in middle school science and mathclassrooms.

In total, therewere 13 questions, many of which include sub-questions or probes. For the present study, weexamined participants’ responses to two questions: 1. Did the discussion that we asked you to facilitate seem reasonable and typical for what you might do as an elementary teacher? If so, how? If not, why not? 2.

Her stances embed her moreclosely into the situation than the other speakers. In contrast, James and Simon are more distant.James and Simon both emphasize environmental impact as a moral stance without mentioningthe economic plight of the informal workers, and that value plays a role in how they rhetoricallystructure the relationships among stakeholders.

Beyond generalwork pressures, this category of barrier is often associated with how well engineering careersfacilitate a work-life balance that is supportive of family responsibilities.

Arguments for a student centered-approach include the idea that the pipeline of possibleunderrepresented faculty members must increase in order for there to be successful recruitment.However, women tend to disproportionately drop out of the pipeline, so that fewer apply for jobsat institutions than are present in postdoctoral positions or graduate schools.
