to make adjustments as needed. Specifically, students who effectively employ metacognitivestrategies, such as reflection and self-assessment, are more likely to master the problem solvingskills that are essential to programming success [3].Writing to learn (WTL) activities promote metacognition in any discipline. Based on the ideathat writing is a visual representation of thinking [4], WTL activities are usually short, low-stakes writing assignments that are designed to promote reflection, analysis, synthesis, anddeeper understanding of course material. When integrated into a problem-solving assignment,such as a programming lab, WTL prompts allow students to think about the choices they aremaking and the reasons for those choices. When

coursework.ImplementationTheoretical Framework:The current version of the project was implemented as a cornerstone project (a term commonlyused to refer to a culminating first-year engineering design experience) in 2014 within the secondsemester Programming 2 course of Ohio Northern University’s first-year programmingsequence. To ground the project in a pedagogical framework, this section will outline thetheoretical underpinnings of the project design.As mentioned in the Introduction, the Kolb Cycle of Experiential Learning, illustrated inFigure 1, was used to help organize the series of cornerstone activities into a cyclic pattern ofexperiences and reflections. The cycle was augmented by Greenaway’s Active Reviewing Cycle,a model which provides a different way to examine

Standards [6]. In particular, the standards for 4th and 5th grade studentswhich apply directly to this work are shown below.4-PS3-2. Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.4-PS3-3. Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.4-PS4-1. Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength and that waves can cause objects to move.4-PS4-2. Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen.4-PS4-3. Generate and compare multiple solutions that use

how the SEP-CyLE cyber-learning environmentwould impact the performance of students when team formation is based around groups that areassigned to work on projects outside of SEP-CyLE. Also, we are working with courseinstructors to develop a larger set of LOs that would help overcome some of the knowledgedeficiencies of students and would enable increased usage of SEP-CyLE in introductoryprogramming courses.10.
