Problems related to learning may actually relate to thelevel of cognitive process that is absolutely essential to master the material at the required level.Walter Barbe, a nationally known authority in the fields of reading and learning disabilities, whohas shown that perceptual modality styles do indeed provide an indication of an individual’sdominant learning mode.

Bloom et. al. describe the major taxonomical categoriesas: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation.In this paradigm, students who have mastered the first stage of learning (knowledge) are able torecall material presented directly in class lectures or readings. A student who has understoodthe material can use it to solve new but familiarly stated problems (comprehension). A studenthas achieved a deeper understanding of the material when he or she is able to independentlysolve a problem posed in an unfamiliar way (application). A student would next integrate

Before beginning the program, students had taken the university’s mathplacement exam, and their individualized program was set up to best help the students master thematerial which they most needed in order to place into a higher course. The students’ progresswas continually monitored, and students were encouraged to work more on the material in theevenings if necessary. Some additional work was provided to the students for evening andweekends. The students retook the math placement exam on the second-to-last day of the bridgeprogram. As a result, students had 17 days of formal work on math improvement during theprogram. The

After mastering thebasic aspects of the job, though, it’s important to ensure that professional development continuesto happen.

Applying the one-dimensional energy equation from eachreservoir to the common junction and enforcing mass conservation at the junction can minimizethe computational burden associated with this solution (e.g. Mays8).Consider the flow distribution of water between the three reservoirs illustrated in Figure 1.

Once they have mastered the fundamentals, campers build robots to complete specific challenges. They learn about basic programming, problem solving, and teamwork. The camp is mostly hands-on with campers building LEGO® robots and then expanding their robots to include sensors that respond to different environments.
