evaluative nature of the process also meant that both observers providedindependent feedback to the faculty member under observation. Longitudinal data across foursemesters and five different courses provided context for assessment of teaching methods,efficacy, and relevance in content.Adoption of Barrick’s peer observation five-step process and adaptation of his process todepartment performance standards led to implementation of a seven-step peer observationprocess for the department. See Appendix 1 for an overview of the process (Figure 5), includingforms used by the peer (Figure 6) and supervisor (Figure 7). These two additional steps toBarrick’s methodology (post-observation dialogue and observation write-up) serve to “close aloop” which is a

Web toenhance students' learning has been recognized, and to this end a pilot web-based system hasbeen developed as an online interactive resource for the teaching and learning of anundergraduate module on Communications within the Department of Electrical Engineering andElectronics. Rüschoff and Ritter[28] discussed the current state of the art with regard to the use ofnew technologies in the classrooms. Lu and Bol[20] found that peer review has becomecommonplace in composition courses and is increasingly employed in the context oftelecommunication technology. The results of their research from both semesters showed thatstudents participating in anonymous e-peer review performed better on the writing performance taskand provided more

In addition, learning is enhanced throughthe preparation of a professional presentation. Critical thinking is encouraged through theassessment of peer presentations. The authors believe that students need to be strong not just atsolving well defined technical problems, but should be able to identify problems worth solving,be able to generate a wide array of possible alternatives to a given design problem, andunderstand the commercialization considerations associated with a given design alternative.The prototype Biomimicry Innovation Tool (BIT) described herein is an attempt to integratethese other aspects

Finally, a performance activity will be used to directly observe ifand how LEP students approach systems integration problems differently from their peers.IntroductionEngineering majors at East Central State University are similar to those at other schoolsthroughout the nation – students choose to major in one area and they follow a curriculum that islargely specified but has a few electives of various types sprinkled throughout. The primarycommonalities to all majors are a set of math, physics, chemistry, writing, and technology andsociety courses. With this structure, it is not surprising to learn that students in different majorsdevelop different sets of rigorous technical skills and that these skills do not

Use the tools – In languages the best way to learn is to continue to use it. Several tools are taught in systems engineering classes. The best way to learn and retain them is to use them. Again, the instructor is there pointing the way, and the student has to gather up the courage to go places theretofore unknown. They learn how to think about the engineering tools not from memorized rules, but through their use.ArtsThere are many activities that are used with art appreciation/visual art classes to engage studentsin active and

The degree of student engagement and quality of assignments were markedlyhigher in the section where students were able to tie what they were learning in class to what washappening in the world outside. In other respects, the class requirements were identical—otherassignments, exams etc.—and students fared equally well on those

Peer teachers can reinforce their own learning by instructingothers and students feel more comfortable when interacting with a peer [14, 15].

These quizzes were given toincrease students’ attendance, preparation, participation, study habits and to improve examscores.
