The course instructors had been using a pre-assessment at the start of the course fora few years, so we have several years’ worth of baseline data. The final exam used similar itemsto previous semesters for comparison on key ideas. Students were randomly assigned to sectionsto avoid bias in any of the groups. Students were required to also enroll in chemistry laboratoryclasses. The laboratory sections were not yet revised during this study period. Student scores arebeing examined in all sections and across the laboratory sections.The symbolic lens was a significant area of concern for the reform of this course

I think I have developed a lot of the materials that we use and brought in a lot of ideas. So I’m more of a behind the scenes person than an out there in front person.”Similarly, Michael Pavelich commented: “I hope [my contribution] is to have documented the importance of these learning taxonomies and to take them seriously and understand them fully, and then models of how to implement that kind of thinking in the classroom, and then finally ways of measurement that make sense or that really speak to

departments?ContextThis study is a preliminary analysis of the teaching and learning expectations and practiceswithin three engineering units involved in an institution-based change initiative. The changeinitiative leadership has set out to accomplish several goals within and across the seven STEMunits. The first goal of the change initiative is to promote evidence-based instructional practicesin large-enrollment STEM undergraduate courses. The specific practices promoted by the changeinitiative leadership are interactive engagement with frequent formative feedback in lecturesettings, and Cooperative Learning in laboratory settings.1,10 Second, the change initiativeleadership promotes these practices through the development of Communities of Practice

Analysis and Optimization: An Exploratory Study (Evidence-based Practice)Background and MotivationThere is a long-standing interest and focus in educational research on electricity-related concepts, due totwo essential reasons: (a) electricity is one of the central areas of science, technology, and engineeringcurricula at all levels of education, and (b) its concepts are particularly difficult to teach and learn becausethey are abstract and complex 1. Therefore, both educators and students face several challengesthroughout the learning process 2. Students often develop their own conceptions of electricity, which maybe in conflict with the formal science perspectives 3. When these students’ interpretations of
