In particular,academic positive emotions should be related to a lower manifestation of the stress.Research hypotheses We suspected that students’ beliefs about the value of a course for their future asengineers have an impact on students’ academic emotions. We also proposed that thesebeliefs and emotions would be jointly reflected in the bio-manifestations of students’ salivaryprofiles, represented by saliva cortisol. 39 We hypothesized that student’s class-related positive emotions would negativelycorrelated with students’ cortisol levels; we also hypothesized that

The average of design actions was 1104 and 1723 from the middleschool and high school, respectively. Given that the time for the design challenge and learningcontext were kept as similar as possible it is not clear why the average operations are notablydifferent between schools. This may reflect different levels of engagement between the high schooland middle schools’ students or that the high school students felt more comfortable with thesoftware and therefore made more design actions.

Hybrid learning offers flexibility in constructing learning spaces but also requires carefuldesign to facilitate student learning outcomes.Experiential LearningExperiential learning theory provides an integrative perspective of learning as a process that isgrounded in experience [10]. As such, students’ learning and development benefit from highlycontextualized, hands-on, real-world learning experiences, such as those found through out-of-class student involvement [11].

Our participants, who were not all engineers, worked closely with engineering faculty —the content experts— and learning scientists — experts in pedagogy— over the course of a semester. Weekly group meetings were held to review the recitation activities, reflect on our team’s teaching practices, discuss students’ reactions, and consider strategies to enhance the effectiveness of our course deliverables. At these meetings, we cultivated a learning community in which we encouraged the recitation leaders to facilitate the learning process, instead of trying to be the main

All of these have implications for the pedagogy that might be chosen to convey andprepare the setting for design learning.Despite their contributions to the design research, shortcomings of these approaches exist inexplaining, (or taking into account) the relationships between the design practice, design context,and design team performance. For example, the normative approach isolates design tasks fromtheir wider context 8,9. It neglects most of the specific factors and constraints designers need tocope with, such as economic constraints, time pressure and teamwork10.

Most studies of cognitive styles weredescriptive, did not attempt to elucidate the underlying nature of the construct or relate styles toinformation processing theories, and were designed according to the assumption that styles arelimited to only very basic information processing operations. The main message of the researchis that styles represent relatively stable individual differences in preferred ways of organizingand processing information that cut across the personality and cognitive characteristics of anindividual.Despite declining interest in styles among cognitive scientists by the end of the 1970s, thenumber of publications on styles in applied fields increased rapidly, reflecting

Finally, involvement theory depicts time as avaluable resource to students, suggesting that activities wherein students must expend theresource of time reflect, to some degree, students’ priorities, interests, and long- and short-termgoals. Educators, Astin posited, are “competing with other forces in the student’s life for a shareof that finite time and energy,” which are directly related to “the extent to which students canachieve particular developmental goals” (e.g
