ofplanning performed during the previous steps will impact the implementation. The first six stepsare where most of your time should be spent. This will ensure that the implemented activity hasthe greatest impact.h. Assessing the outcomeAfter the activity has been tested, think critically about what pieces were successful and whichpieces failed. Did students all struggle with one segment of the project? Could better materialshave been provided? Did you have way too much or way too little of any supplies? How did it fitwithin the time frame? How did the wrap-up discussion go? Did the students meet yourexpectations? Ask other staff and even the participants for their perspectives and feedback on theactivity. Facilitators can design a formal assessment
ownership of their own learning. The discovery approach used by the author tries to buildon these principles to establish an innovative instructional design by marrying content withpresentation style in theory as well as in practice. Utilizing real-world problems as a stimulus forstudent learning is not at all new and has been in practice for a very long time. Educators haveunderstood that scholars have defined problem-based learning as minds-on, hands-on, focused,experiential learning. Instructors have also been encouraged to act as cognitive coaches who cannurture an environment that can support open inquiry. The author was inspired by the uniqueideas presented by these scholars and researchers. He has tried to build on such intelligent ideasto

% ineffective (“How Companies Utilize,” 24 2001). A surveyconducted by Morgan39 (2000) discovered that about 40% of the responding organizations hadno performance measurement system; another 9% had a PM system but that it wasunsatisfactory; and roughly 60% had implemented some type of measurement system. Onlyabout 60% of the respondents were satisfied with their PMS while almost 40% were unsatisfied(Morgan39, 2000).ScopeThe research design utilized for this study (Loendorf33, 2008) was an exploratory mixed model Page 15.494.5design. The study was primarily qualitative with some quantitative aspects resulting in a mixtureof both models. The quantitative
