In fact, these are topics wellknown and widely discussed in the educational literature.13,15 It is the plan in future POGILimplementations to move the course towards a mastery driven rather than performance drivenassessment strategy. Specifically, the goal will be to reduce reliance on a few high stakes examby instead providing multiple paths, activities, and opportunities for students build self-efficacyand demonstrate mastery of the stated learning objectives. This approach is particularly attractivein a large format classroom, where managing make

The science classes that high school students,college freshman and sophomores take typically present collections of theories and laws usingtechniques that do not foster creativity, experimentation and curiosity. As a result, studentsincreasingly fail to pursue careers in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).For the past 10 years the number of high school seniors who plan on entering an engineeringcareer has dropped more than 35%.1 Additionally, attrition rates of engineering disciplines havebeen as high as 50%,2 and minority students have been shown to receive less than 8

First, focusing on one component of lab report at a time allows the students to bettergrasp the material. Moreover, receiving these instructions as they continuously write lab reportshelps them apply the received instructions more effectively.3.2.

A plan was put in motion to incorporate more laboratories to allowstudents more “hands-on” experiences. Additionally, it was decided to create a laboratoryhandbook, with pre-labs, for students to complete before performing laboratory testing. The goalwas to have the new labs and handbook ready for the Fall 2017 semester.Before the implementation of the VR enhanced laboratory experiments, students in AppliedStrength of Materials were taught how to perform the laboratory experiments via the“traditional” method.

Theopen-ended questions in these assessments were intended to reveal student misconceptions at aformative stage in the learning process. Fifty-minute class periods were then planned to bringthese misconceptions to the forefront.

Because this module was developed while the class was being taught, certain logisticalissues could be avoided on subsequent iterations. For example, the placement of this module inthe course schedule could be more strategic. The low in-class attendance could be a result ofstudents attending conferences, the class occurring directly after an exam, and students beingaware that their instructor’s planned absence.
