from reading, for instance,and this is backward from what Dale’s Cone suggests. I’m not “ear-minded” as the learningpsychologists say, and I understand that about a third of the U. S. population is like me (and Ican’t quote an exact source for this number either – I got it from learning psychologist FredKeller7 in a conversation with him). I don’t receive vocal information as efficiently as I do whenI read about something – I can always read text over again, but it isn’t usually possible to“replay” a lecture or a conversation. So my learning skills don’t match the lower levels of Dale’sCone. But after 43 years of teaching engineering subjects I am quite comfortable with the ideasthat, for most engineering students, Visual Receiving is superior
two data sets and with a focus on factorsthat have resulted in changes in teaching approach in the years separating the studies. Thefinal section contains our conclusions and outlines areas for future exploration.BackgroundThe approaches to teaching inventory (ATI) has been developed and refined over the lastdecade.1 It has its origins in phenomenographic studies of teachers’ attitudes to teachingand learning in the mid 1990’s. Prosser and Trigwell advance the view that there is afundamental qualitative difference between a student-centric and teacher-centric view of thelearning process [4, page 408]. They argue that a student centered approach to facilitatinglearning focuses on the nature of the learning itself, placing the main emphasis on

This theoretical paper draws from our own experiencesin working with culturally diverse youth, as well as methodological literature on qualitativeinquiry writ large, to expand Walther et al.’s framework by making it account more robustly forlinguistic and culturalism pluralism, and specifically for linguistic and cultural differencesamong researchers and participants in engineering education.In this paper, we use Walther, Sochacka, and Kellam’s framework as a starting point foridentifying strategies for ensuring quality in qualitative research

for example [40]–[43]). This line of research couldbenefit from the use of Faulkner’s and Kendi’s frameworks to investigate specific instances ofindividual and structural racism. To illustrate, we look to Murphy et al.’s assessment of GeorgiaTech’s summer bridge program, the Challenge Program, and its role in the higher likelihood ofgraduation for underrepresented minority students involved [42]. Georgia Tech is aPredominantly White Institution (PWI). Murphy et al. found that there was a significantrelationship between participation in the Challenge Program and increased retention/graduationrate [42]. Quantitatively, they recognized the need for summer bridge programs and theprogram’s importance in retention. What their study was not designed
methodology for thedevelopment of this qualitative research. As defined by Yin (2017), through case studies acontemporary phenomenon (the case) is investigated in depth and within its real-world context.The process of conducting a case study starts with the selection of the case(s). For this study,four cases from different industrial segments were selected. The rationale behind the selection ofthe four industries for this study was the identification of industrial segments with significanthiring rates of practicing engineers, and the most attractive employers from the perspective ofstudents pursuing engineering in the United States. Reliable sources of data were utilized for theidentification of these industrial segments: the Bureau of Labor

modified version of Plett et al.’s five items. In addition, we propose amodel of key factors affecting engineering graduate students’ identities as shown in Figure 1.Constructs capturing the key factors affecting engineering identity and research identity areadapted from the undergraduate science and engineering identity model (Carlone & Johnson,2007; Godwin, 2016; Hazari et al., 2010; Prybutok et al., 2016 ). Based on the identity model, weexpect that graduate students’ engineering identities will be affected by three factors: engineeringcompetence/performance, engineering interest, and recognition as an engineer by others. On theother hand, previous work on research identity does not provide a framework for measuringresearch identity

second modification to the alterative assessment scheme is the integration of more evaluationsessions throughout the semester (e.g., category three), which will allow students to know theiracademic standing in the course early in the course. For this particular accommodation, the authorsare planning to include a thorough evaluation session regarding the comprehension of lecturematerial and assignments for each student. As such, the integration of these two modifications willbe implemented and evaluated in subsequent semesters.REFERENCES[1] Balaji, N., Murthy, P., Kumar, D., Chaudhury, S.

research directionsare proposed.Keywords: curriculum, design, design thinking, discoursesIntroductionCurriculum is defined as a plan which is intended to provide the learning experiences to individualsin an educational setting [1]. It is the most important part of an education system irrespective of thetype of education. Although it is critical, curriculum is often criticized for not providing all therequired learning experiences as it is intended to. Curriculum development is a process used todevelop and implement the curriculum plan and evaluating it against the set standards [2].Curriculum planning deals with making choices at different stages in the development process, andplanning choices are strongly influenced by the value system(s) of the
opportunity to hear the students’ voice and perceptions on peerfeedback experiences in the course; in that way it is an indicator of how well these assessmentopportunities are being integrated in the course. Brutus et al.30 stated that “one of the mainlimitations of [their] study is that it does not specify what, in the PES [peer evaluation system]experience, underlies the detected effects. Questions remain as to which component(s) ofstudents’ educational experience actually contributed to their increase in confidence withobservation” (p. 28). While previous studies have been able to demonstrate significant effectsthrough repeated uses of peer feedback during team projects, this study aims to explore theunderlying mechanisms that lead to those
potentially sensitive nature of the interview subject, as most participants were stillactively involved with the D3EM program. This ensured participants' privacy, while allowingthem to freely express their viewpoints. The interviews lasted between 10 to 40 minutes inlength. A similar protocol has been repeated annually since 2017; focused questions about careerpreparation were added in 2019. Interview protocol questions are listed below. 1. Currently, what are your career plans for after completing your PhD? 2. How do you think your D3EM training is preparing you for that career path? 3. When you were not on D3EM funding, were you completing a research assistantship or other funding? Did that experience(s) provide
mentioned areas that allowed opportunities to be inclusive. Inside theclassroom, there were opportunities to create an inclusive environment by how the educatorsinteracted with students and how they conducted themselves when students were present andteaching was in action. Finally, educators also talked about what things they thought about orconsidered (mindsets), similar to Integrity of practice, in that educators had a reason for theirpractices [4] when doing any preparation or working with students.
