ProtocolThis conceptual model serves as the basis for a standardized classroom observation protocol thatwill be used to characterize instances of formative assessment. A diagram of the observationprotocol is shown in Figure 2. When a researcher using this protocol observes an instance offormative assessment, they first identify the type of formative assessment from among fouroptions: 1) instructor asks student(s) questions, 2), student asks instructor questions, 3) instructortalks with individual student or group, or 4) instructor implements writing-based formativeassessment. Then, the researcher chooses a response for each code (i.e. each colored box inFigure 2) describing the student and instructor behaviors in that type of formative assessment
sense, measurements, variables and relations, geometric shapes and spatialvisualization, and chance.” The education of future engineers must prepare them to approachsituations with quantitative literacy, at least with the tools in Dossey‟s list, and ideally withhigher level tools including the ability to frame problems in terms of appropriate mathematicalmodels and finding solutions to those models. Modeling can be used in the design process inmany ways: to avoid expensive and time-consuming tests of physical prototypes, to guide therange of physical models that should be tested, to rule out seemingly reasonable designs that aredestined to fail, to avoid overdesign of components, to explore the likely range of performance ofa device, and to

Using structural modeling, Fortier et al. (1995) demonstratethe positive influence of perceived competence and self-determination on autonomousmotivations and academic performance [7]. Greene et al. (2004) illustrate linkages betweenautonomy support and self-efficacy, mastery goals, strategy use, and achievement [33]. Walkeret al.’s path model shows that self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation can predict meaningfulcognitive engagement, while extrinsic motivations predict shallow cognitive engagement [8].Although empirical research that directly links different

Thispaper focuses on one research question from our pilot study: How do university student mentor definitions of “mentoring” compare to those of faculty / staff program coordinators?Theoretical FrameworkTo categorize participants’ definitions of mentoring, the research team utilizes Pfund et al.’s [14]attributes of effective mentoring relationships, which are “supported by the literature andsuggested by theoretical models of academic persistence” [p. S238]. This framework was chosenbecause of the ample existing metrics and examples of measurable learning objectives provided,which can be mapped to experiences participants share in their
identities are encouraged and how strongly they are expressed. Separating bygender, the results show the significant difference between men, women, and nonbinaryengineering students and how they consider their gender identity. The average Model for MultipleDimensions of Identity based on school type can help understand students' priorities when decidingto attend a small school.References[1] A. D. Patrick and M.

List S is graphic if and only if the finitelist S = (d2 − 1, d3 − 1, · · · , dd1 +1 − 1, dd1 +2 , · · · dn ) has nonnegative integers and isgraphic. The algorithm then follows a recursive method where the theorem is used withS = S until S = {0}. Generating Random Graphs Once we determined the classroom networks in question were graphical, we wantedto generate a random graph from the degree sequence that was likely to representthe network structure of the data.
