The course instructors had been using a pre-assessment at the start of the course fora few years, so we have several years’ worth of baseline data. The final exam used similar itemsto previous semesters for comparison on key ideas. Students were randomly assigned to sectionsto avoid bias in any of the groups. Students were required to also enroll in chemistry laboratoryclasses. The laboratory sections were not yet revised during this study period.

I think I have developed a lot of the materials that we use and brought in a lot of ideas. So I’m more of a behind the scenes person than an out there in front person.”Similarly, Michael Pavelich commented: “I hope [my contribution] is to have documented the importance of these learning taxonomies and to take them seriously and understand them fully, and then models of how to implement that kind of thinking in the classroom, and then finally ways of measurement that make sense or that really speak to

In particular, ECE 101 showsstudents how engineers negotiate tradeoffs as they design devices to meet social needs. Intendedfor students outside the College of Engineering, ECE 101 meets the campus’s general educationrequirements in physical sciences and in quantitative reasoning.In each semester, the enrollment in ECE 101 ranges from forty to sixty students, mostlyfreshmen and sophomores. Each week, students in ECE 101 attend two 50-minute lectures taughtby the instructor and one two-hour laboratory session led by a graduate teaching assistant. In

Chen (2002)highlights both teaching and learning in the following statement: “[cyberlearning is] conceptualized asteaching and learning interactions mediated entirely through the application of state-of-the-art informationand communications technologies, such as the internet and world wide web” (as cited in 10, p. 6).Additionally, Montfort (2010) took a slightly different approach

On the otherhand, Chemistry and Physics can have problems that are more difficult to grade consistentlyacross sections, and laboratory courses leave a significant portion of the grade to the discretion oflaboratory instructors who may neither teach the corresponding lecture nor grade consistentlyacross sections.

unintended consequence of built-in obsolescence. Theineffectiveness of many designs has been resident in a static view of learning and teaching styles,personnel-dependence, an inability to manage changes in program size, and/or a lack ofportability and adoption by the larger educational community. To avoid these specific pitfalls inour design for educational enhancement, we are: (1) employing a dynamic view of learning andteaching styles where the characteristics of student and faculty are periodically measured toestablish an assessment process calibration, (2) using knowledge management systems to processvoluminous data collection and analysis in an efficient and flexible manner, (3) using a modulardesign of an established assessment paradigm that

laboratory activitiesis, as Trumper states in a review15, “that they are learner-centred. They induce students tobecome active participants in a scientific process in which they explore the physical world,analyze the data [and] draw conclusions”. However Lindwall16 has analyzed several learningenvironments and argues that many other environments fulfill conditions 1-6 described above,without achieving good results in conceptual tests. Results of my earlier studies show that thestudents achieve better results (using concept tests such as FCI17 and FMCE18 to measure success)if lab-instructions are created that apply teaching strategies in line with variation theory than ifthe teacher adopts a non-conceptual approach8, 9.This led to the following

The changeinitiative leadership has set out to accomplish several goals within and across the seven STEMunits. The first goal of the change initiative is to promote evidence-based instructional practicesin large-enrollment STEM undergraduate courses. The specific practices promoted by the changeinitiative leadership are interactive engagement with frequent formative feedback in lecturesettings, and Cooperative Learning in laboratory settings.1,10 Second, the change initiativeleadership promotes these practices through the development of Communities of Practice
