Consequently, 3920 records were excluded.We then started the second screening process by downloading the remaining 137 entries.However, we encountered an issue where one document, which was published in 2022, couldnot be retrieved due to institutional subscription issues. Therefore, we moved on to the finalscreening stage with 136 eligible documents included for full-text screening, where we paidattention to review the characteristics of the studies by focusing on the context of studiesemploying embodied cognition and visuospatial skills.

Outcomes and Assessment of Pilot StudyWe implemented a pilot study of the project-based learning activity as a term project during thefall semester of the 2021-2022 academic year. Two groups, consisting of four students, eachworked on the project independently. The students formed their own groups. The duration of theproject was approximately seven weeks. Our objective is to evaluate the extent to which studentsengaged in the three aspects of an entrepreneurial mindset – curiosity, connections, and creatingvalue. To evaluate the level of engagement, we employ a direct measurement using part of theproject rubric and a

Storylines have been described as‘coherent from students’ perspectives,’ (Edelson et al., 2020), so that rather than unfolding unitsin ways that make sense to disciplinary experts, they follow cascades of questions that studentsmight ask as they seek to understand the puzzling phenomenon.

Anotable change occurred in 2020 when a new instructor was hired to teach this course who begandistributed practice (discussed below). Several complex, open-ended, or modeling problemswere moved from large homework sets to lab activities between 2020 and 2022. Only oneadditional problem was added between 2022 and 2023 when interleaving was included in thecourse design.Table 1.

The results are that 95% ofstudents “agree” or “strongly agree” that PLC labs and projects helped them to apply coursematerial to improve thinking and problem solving, and 89% of students “agree” or “strongly agree”that
