into any meaningful parts.In contrast, the words trees, eating seem to be made up of two parts: the word tree, eat plusan additional element, -s (the ‘plural’) or –ing (the ‘past o present participe’). In the sameway our intuition tells us that the chemical word Fe can not be broken down into anymeaningful parts. In contrast, the word Fe(s) seems to be made up of two parts: the word Feplus an additional element (s), wich indicates the solid state of aggregation.Inflectional versus derivative morphemes‘Tree’, ‘eat’ and ‘Fe’ are called free morphemes; while ‘–s’, ‘-ing’ and ‘(s)’ are calledbound morphemes. Two or more morphemes in combination give a complex morpheme (acomplex word).Bound morphemes can be inflectional morphemes as in the above

Professor in the School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University. He received his Ph.D. in 1973 from the University of Oklahoma. Dr. Lawson' s research centers on the nature and development of scientific reasoning patterns such as hypothetico-deductive, probabilistic, proportional, combinatorial, analogical and correlational reasoning. Major interests involve determination of factors that influence the development of these reasoning patterns during childhood and adolescence and determination of their relationship to each other and to scientific concept acquisition.

coalitions in the early 1990’s, the NationalScience Foundation, ARPA, and other government agencies as well as private foundations havemade substantial investments to improve engineering curricula, teaching and learning practices,and the ‘pipeline’ from K-12 into engineering. In 2001, Bjorklund and Colbeck1 reported theresults of their interviews with 27 leaders of engineering colleges and professional organizationsin which they discussed change that had taken place over ten years since the founding of the firstcoalitions. The participants were asked what they believed were the two most significantchanges over that decade. Greater exposure to design and emphasis on effective teaching werementioned by ten of the 27 participants, followed closely by

signification processes are often exclusively aimed at the sense ofvision. Thus the movement to representational signs is often synonymous with the removal ordenying of non-vision sensory experiences. Our signs and symbols usually produce visualstimuli, not acoustic, tactile, taste, or smell stimuli. In the spirit of the Good Will Hunting quote,imagine studying a diagram of a guitar and proceeding to claim detailed knowledge of a “guitar”without ever having played or listened to one. Imagine studying a recipe for a particular dishand then claiming to have an appreciation for the culinary aspects without ever experiencing theactual eating experience.

gatheringinformation typically considered “experience”. Such experience is typically associated with thehigher level cognitive tasks, synthesis and evaluation, as defined by Bloom and Krathwohl(1984). When used with many practitioners, the technique can yield a database of diverseexperiences that can be incorporated into course instruction and assignments. Some examples ofdata for which the critical incident technique is well suited to obtain include the following:• The criteria designers use to evaluate competing design options.• The most important factors that designers consider in making a decision about which material(s) to use.In contrast, eliciting knowledge about low- to mid-level cognitive tasks such as comprehension,application, or analysis (Bloom

Semester 1 is the first semester of enrollment and can be either the Fall or Spring term as defined above. Non- enrolled semesters do not add to the number of semesters tracked in this study. • Cumulative GPA: Grade point average for all courses taken at the University as obtained directly from the SUCCEED LDB. When a cumulative GPA for a student is missing, the Census GPA at the beginning of the following semester for that student is used.

Then the paper was looked at as a whole: The primary parallel was determined by the most frequently occurring parallel. b. Secondary Parallel(s): The secondary parallels were then identified and their relationships to the other parallels were determined.These curricular design components were then considered as a whole, using the PCM. In design,each curricular component seeks to motivate, instruct, or assess students in the content areas. Byusing the PCM “lens,” the relationships of curricular components to the parallels
