between the Navajo way of life, which is a holistic cycle of thinking,planning, living, and assuring/testing,119 and an engineering design process (ask, imagine, plan,create, improve120). Thus the structure of the project itself can be described and presented in away that carries cultural meaning for Navajo students.Further, design projects can be structured to blend culture and course material. In engineeringoutreach camps in the Navajo Nation, students were asked to write a story related to their culture(e.g., “Describe a day in the life of a Navajo middle school student”). Students then, learn theengineering design process and build a Rube Goldberg®-style chain reaction machine that tellsthe story they wrote. This not only helps the students

],[2]. Some studies have shown the preference of students for in person teaching as opposed toremote learning during the early shutdown and transitioning period of the pandemic[10],[11],[12]. However, the online learning environment has been extensively studied as aneffective teaching tool if coupled with accurate planning and the effective use of virtual learningsupportive tools (e.g., learning and classroom management software, virtual platformcommunication tools) as well as proper instructional layout [13],[14]. Some of the main benefitsof online learning include: added flexibility in place, enhanced participation due to anonymity,improved technological and web conferencing skills development, enhanced instructorproficiency, and

These findings support traditional definitions of online learning readiness, whichidentify student attributes, time management, communication competencies, and technical skillsas imperative constructs in preparing students to pursue courses in the online platform 10. In fact,successful online learners exhibit attributes of greater self-awareness of needs, feelingsmanagement, self-regulation skills, self-discipline, time management, organization, planning,self-evaluating, reflective/visual learning styles, and internal locus of control 11.Students who exhibit an internal locus of control tend to possess motivation and self-management, often outperforming

such as the evaluation of studentattention in online lecture settings, as well as for teaching purposes such as in demonstrations orlabs, since it is easy to use and inexpensive in an educational setting. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the sample size and the number of devices in this studyare greatly limited as the data collection process is prolonged, and equipment is generally notdirectly accessible to participants. Future work aims to increase the sample size, compare the EPwith more commercially available EEG headsets, and improve the data quality evaluationprocess to compare the current design in a more accurate and holistic manner. The researchersalso plan to redesign the control board such that it retains similar functionality to

In particular, the value of thelearning tasks and their connections to any related courses should be explicitly stated.Additionally, TAs can help motivate student in laboratories by asking more open-endedquestions and providing more opportunities for self-direction.3.4.1 Provide opportunities for students to self-direct When TAs plan laboratories, it is preferable to provide opportunities for students to self-direct. Having to constantly ask for permission to proceed with laboratory procedures or requestmaterials undermines students’ sense of autonomy and competence. Providing clear instructions,and facilitating an effective introduction to the laboratory should help minimize students’dependence on the TA and still maintain safety

. Page 24.455.11Method 3The use of flowcharts in sequential programming has been a popular tool for many years.Method three was designed to bring in the flowchart concepts in order to aid the students beingstudied to better understand the code they were writing. The original plan was to go over a high-level flow chart of what the program was supposed to do as a group before they began coding.This worked for many of the students, though as the semester progressed, many of the studentswould begin working on the assignments, and even possibly complete them, prior to the start ofthe recitation. The method was adapted for these students to have each student, before they leftrecitation, sit down with the TA and go through his/her code. In doing so the

I also help plan events and projects for the program as a member of both the social and mentorship committees. As the Ohio State University Pistol Club Vice President I have gained valuable experience as a leader; teaching members how to properly and safely handle a pistol. Besides being involved with these activities I enjoy volunteering for my high school Science Olympiad team. I help coach and run events for the team when they attend invitationals in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. I enjoy going back to help the students learn more about science and

In his words: “…I‟m interested in research in general, which is why I pursue my PhD,…I‟d wanna do research whether it was in academia or industry, but…academia particularly appeals to me because I really enjoy teaching, and…the teaching that I‟ve done as a TA and as an instructor [course instructor] this summer…has really…sort of exposed me to that and I‟ve found I‟ve really enjoyed it, so…the added role of the teacher in academics is what appeals to me there.” (Hank, Individual Interview, 36)Finally, the learning opportunities
