-Regulated Learning While Learning Electric Circuit Concepts with Enhanced Guided Notes AbstractMeasuring self-regulated learning (SRL) skills of engineering college students while usingenhanced guided notes (EGN) promotes a better understanding of how students deal with note-taking activities. This study focused on students’ task interpretation, cognitive strategies, andSRL processes including planning, monitoring, and regulating strategies while using EGN in anelectric circuits course. The main objectives of this study were to (1) understand how students’SRL skills changed after using EGN; and (2) evaluate how students’ conceptual understandingon electric circuits improved after using

Finally, to supplement the SRLI where we thought we had insufficient questions for ourcontext, several questions were added from the Learning Strategies section of the MotivatedStrategies of Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) 19. The MSLQ was designed specifically for use incollege classroom settings. Page 23.392.6 The final Learning Strategies section for the Phase 1 Survey contains 31 questionscovering 11 constructs. The constructs for the learning strategies portion of the Phase 1 Surveywere developed using the original categorizations (scales) suggested during the development andvalidation of the SRLI 33 including Planning, Keeping Records

Katarina’s roommate, aPhD science student, was the person who encouraged her to participate in an undergraduateresearch experience. She decided to apply because she thought it would be a great opportunity tofigure out what it would be like to have a career in bioengineering. She also hoped that theprogram would help her make more definitive academic and career plans. Katarina had completed one year of community college before the start of theundergraduate research program. She planned on earning her associates degree and thentransferring to a 4-year university.

economic difficulties have led state governments to pressfor a lowered rate of increase in funding for state-supported universities. Private donors whohave often generously supported colleges and universities are also feeling financial strain as theycontemplate their plans for charitable donations9. On the other side, Dunbar et al.10 and Logue11found students are under increasing pressure to complete their degrees, find gainful employmentin a very tough economic climate, and begin repaying student loans that are approaching acrushing level of burden. Both sides have a vested interest in increasing the efficiency andeffectiveness of undergraduate engineering education.Bell12 discussed the similarities that universities have to a manufacturing

The authors' research equipment supplemented the instructional equipment toprovide an isolated local area network, enterprise infrastructure, and additional workstations. InJune 2012, the administration made a decision to re-purpose the instructional space into a thirty-seat generic classroom with back-to-back course booking. No other instructional space wasavailable, and all equipment used for Linux instruction was moved to storage.Reduced instructional funding hit another blow in late July 2012. Original plans for the re-purposed classroom called for thirty workstations with the option of dual booting operatingsystems. Unfortunately, funding constraints

The hope is that understanding which experiences made the most impactmay improve the planning of student outreach activities. 974 students in the first-year of theirengineering program were asked to describe the experiences and interactions that had the mostinfluence on them when contemplating an engineering career. Results indicate that knowledgeabout what engineering is and outreach experience, and therefore the reasons that students gointo engineering, vary greatly. Future directions

This broad dimension encompasses specific traits such as being talkative, energetic, and assertive.  Agreeableness. This dimension includes traits like sympathetic, kind, and affectionate.  Conscientiousness. People high in this trait tend to be organized, thorough, and planning oriented.  Neuroticism (sometimes reversed and called Emotional
