The freshman data on the CA (critical thinkingassignment) and the IFR (independent faculty rating) of the CA is being used to create thebaseline for comparison as each of thecohorts’ progress through their academic careers at J.B.Speed School of Engineering. The second year data have been collected for two cohorts, butcohort 2 has not been analyzed yet. The IFR for cohort 2’s second year will be completed in2011.Table 4 shows the freshman data for each cohort. Since the pre/post CTA was

thematic analysis approach, followingBraun & Clark’s six-phase method [20]. We first read the interview transcripts for familiarity,recording memos with summaries and initial reactions and analysis. We then re-read thetranscripts, generating initial codes and beginning to identify themes with respect to our researchquestion. We then reviewed the transcripts again to further develop the themes. We drew onNowell et al.’s [21] approach to conducting and reporting trustworthy thematic analysis. Tworesearch team members each reviewed each transcript to begin engaging with the data. We thencoded five interview transcripts together to develop a coding scheme and begin to identifythemes. We used both inductive codes and deductive codes. We developed

These threefactors are used as a basis to ideate on different kinds of learning possible, but they are not thefinal factor structure we aimed to have for the instrument. Below, we explain each factor, situatethe factor briefly in relevant literature, and provide examples of student utterances that mightalign with the factor.Professional knowledge: Reflection activities clearly have the potential to help students advancetheir knowledge of the topics they are studying in order to become engineers. Our way offraming “professional knowledge” as a type of knowledge arising from engagement in reflectionactivities is in alignment with Stevens et al.’s

Moderator acceptance bias may have also been present, whereby interviewees provideanswers to please the moderator. Respondents might interpret what they believe the moderatorwants to hear and answer accordingly.

demands of professional engineering practice.Major reviews of education in the 1990’s in the USA2 and in Australia 3, resulted in significantchanges in both countries. The respective reports resulted in ABET’s Program Outcomes(EC2000)4 and the Australian Graduate Attributes5 (AMEA), which both advocated a shift of theinstructional paradigm from the previously input-, content- and process-oriented system to anoutcomes-based approach.The concept of outcomes-based education revolves around a list of desired educationaloutcomes. In the application of this concept to instructional design, the outcomes are brokendown into learning objectives6, 7, subsequently learning activities are selected and delivered inorder to achieve the learning outcomes.

provided an overview of how the TExT is used. Subsequent papers in this series willprovide more detailed consideration of individual components of the TExT, and their use. OnceTExT development is completed, it will be used to test the hypothesis that if the textbook of the20th century is replaced by TExTs in the 21st century, then a greater proportion of engineeringcourses will be taught using methods that are more effective than the traditional lecture.1.

Bloom42 in the early 50s and it hassince been translated into 22 languages and is one of the most widely applied and mostoften cited references in education43. The original taxonomy represented a multi-tieredmodel of classifying thinking according to six cognitive levels of complexity:Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation. Thetaxonomy was later revised by Lorin W. Anderson and David R. Krathwohl40 and the sixlevels of learning in the revised Bloom’s taxonomy (together with representative verbsused to write learning outcomes at each level of learning) are:‚ Remember (recognize, recall…)‚ Understand
States is becoming more diverse 6, globalization hasmade it disadvantageous to continue to foster inequality of educational opportunity along ethniclines. A hazardous cycle has been created, reinforcing the idea that African American studentsare better suited for manual than for academic pursuits. The National Academy of Engineering(NAE), an honorific organization of engineers that advises the government on issues concerningengineering, states that “if the U. S. is to maintain economic leadership and be able to sustain itsshare of high-technology jobs, it must prepare for a new wave of change”7. This new wave ofchange refers to the education of more minority students in engineering as the minoritypopulation increases in order to ensure global
