on Formative Assessments in anIntroduction Programming CourseAbstractFor some faculty, it is an ongoing challenge to design assignments and course policies thatmotivate students to focus on the learning that can come from overcoming challenges. For manystudents, when the stakes are too high or their time is too strained, productive activities arebypassed for strategies that more quickly get to an answer without necessarily exercising criticalthinking skills. A variety of approaches have been taken to encourage students to productivelystruggle on formative assessments and then reflect on their results to further enhance learning [1],[2], [3]. These strategies often come with a tradeoff.The purpose of this work is to share additional

]. Subsequently, this pedagogical PDprogram was adapted for engineering GTAs, with an aim to enhance and support theirprofessional learning. For clarity, we use “PD program” throughout to refer to the programoffered to engineering GTAs that engaged them in professional learning about postsecondaryengineering pedagogy.This study was structured to investigate the GTA participants’ experiences and development inthe PD program intended to provide GTA opportunities to actively learn and reflect onpedagogical concepts and approaches as a community.

engineering codes of ethics are taught bymore than half of the instructors [8]. Engineering design projects (70%), in-class discussions(58%), case studies (58%), examples of professional scenarios (57%), and lectures (55%) wereused to teach ESI [8]. Group-based written assignments (47%), individual reflections (33%), andindividual homework assignments graded with a rubric (31%) were used to assess ESI learning[8]. Sixty-two percent of survey respondents believed that capstone design taught undergraduatestudents about ESI [8].This paper proposes a novel approach to incorporating ethics into engineering education coursesby having students choose a case from a list of recent case studies and create a video about it.

. Lab instructors prefer to pre-assign groups to make sure that women are not isolated and to represent the skill sets of both majors in each group.Know your capacityThe choices instructors make are limited by their personal capacity and the capacity of anycourse staff. It is more manageable for instructors of smaller classes to organize group formation,monitor team functioning, and respond to group member concerns. Instructors of larger courses,or courses with multiple course staff members, may find it useful to utilize tools to ease thegroup assignment and/or feedback process. CATME [16] is a useful, if long, survey tool that cansort students into groups. There also exist other reflective surveys and writing exercises thatserve a

benefits, traditional grading faces significant challengesthat warrant attention. One of its shortcomings lies in misrepresenting learning, as gradesoften reflect only the maximum points available, creating a disconnection between gradesand actual growth. False positives and negatives are common occurrences, leading to aninaccurate portrayal of a student's learning level. The use of numerical points to evaluatestudent work is also a limitation, as grades are categorical data representing quality ratherthan the result of a measurement. This poses challenges when attempting to applymathematical calculations, rendering grades less useful than more conventional data sets.[2]Furthermore, traditional grading systems are criticized for their inequitable

. IntroductionEngineering education faces the continuous challenge of incorporating the latestresearch findings into its curriculum to ensure graduates are well-equipped totackle current and future technological challenges. Traditional methods ofcurriculum development often struggle to keep pace with the rapid advancementof technology and emerging research areas [1, 2]. Current approaches tointegrating research into engineering education primarily involve the introductionof elective courses, predetermined laboratory classes, or the occasional inclusionof term papers from existing courses. However, these methods have limitations,including insufficient coverage of new technologies and the lag in updating coursecontent to reflect the latest research developments

students toidentify and prioritize the most relevant information in the textbook, though hopefully upper-level students have largely developed this lifelong learning skill as they approach graduation. A“progressive reading log” can develop student notetaking abilities through one semester: early inthe semester the log provides directed reading responses (like a CPA) with increasingly open-ended prompts toward the end of the semester (like a Structure Reading Guide (SRG))[32].SRGs adapt Cornell Notes[2] for STEM studies by creating worksheets with spaces fordefinitions, examples, proofs, analysis, reflections, and summaries[50]. SRGs may begeneralized for a particular course, requiring far less development effort for the faculty; however,SRGs often

Online, the students had two chances to complete the quizzes so they could reflect on theirerrors. The in-class quiz was also administered twice: once to each student individually andagain in groups of four to six, where they had to debate the questions and answers beforedetermining the right response. The instructor was able to determine how well the studentsunderstood the pre-class material by administering this formative, multiple-choice quiz, whichalso allowed her to address any misconceptions directly after the quiz, or in the following classsession. The quizzes were appreciated by the

The future work is to use theinstrument to train undergraduate and graduate students to develop competencies about how todevelop scholarly works without any issues related to plagiarism.

To assess students’learning styles, this study used the Visual, Aural, Read/Write, or Kinesthetic (VARK) learningstyles inventory which is a questionnaire consists of 16 items used to assess the respondent’slearning style [21]. The study also used the Dixion scale to measure students’ engagement usingthe adaptive or non-adaptive e-learning system; this scale includes the factors of skills,participation/interaction, performance, and emotion [21]. This study found that students wholearned through the adaptive system learned more, reflected by their engagement scale responsesand overall course outcomes.
