Research reveals that STEM and building sciences are taught in astraightforward way based on fragmented concepts rather than embracing technology andcreative problem solving skills [2]. Although problems related to innovative pedagogies thattrain STEM students have been enhanced through for example vertically integrating courses thatsupport students learning and trainings [3

”identity, with one of the most cited frameworks being that of Carlone and Johnson [12], whichposits that one’s science identity consists of the interrelationship among performance,competence, and recognition. Building on this framework and drawing from a social-cognitiveperspective, Hazari and colleagues [11] added a fourth component when they examined students’physics identity, namely interest, which reflects one’s desire or curiosity in a subject [11, 13-14].While these components were developed within the context of specific roles (e.g., science,physics), they reflect general aspects of one’s role-related identity, and therefore they areapplicable to specific fields beyond science.

As such, the co-instructors framed the seminar as helping the LAs (a) learn how to support their students, (b) learn how to partner with course instructors to improve students’ experiences, and (c) develop their engineering skills (e.g reflect on design process, facilitate teamwork, and consider social justice implications). This second iteration of the seminar maintained some of the same learning objectives as the pilot version of the seminar such as (1) identify and critically evaluate claims from readings, (2) carefully observe and document classroom events, (3) analyze classroom events and consider multiple plausible

Student evaluations and feedback havedemonstrated the power of these tools for significant improvements and even transformation inorganizational behavior. Future work is needed to potentially isolate effects of such skilldevelopment for engineers as compared with other populations, and to gather data on the relativebenefits of this approach as compared with others. Given the extensive systems skills that engineers have, such systems thinking tools canprovide a powerful way for them to exercise leadership through improvement and optimizationof organizational behavior.

In order to limit the action and reflection possibilities, the learner interacts within a somewhat restricted, artificial environment, which is reduced in complexity and easy to control by the teacher. To provide feedback, the learning environment is designed to include relevant devices where students can deposit their interim products and teachers can inspect them. The emphasis in this model lies on the learning process of the student. Teachers try to help the

For instance, he frequently minimizes or skips sections of theactivities that require whole group discussion, writing, or reflection; thus each activity runs about15 to 20 minutes under the suggested time. He infrequently emphasizes the activity’s purposewith the whole group (Table 4). His use of questioning strategies with the small groups appearsto support development of engineering habits of mind and sense making. The educator often usesquality pedagogical strategies that support youth, such as open-ended questioning (Table 4).Overall the educator facilitates a youth-directed experience

In other words,the dominant image active learning in American engineering education does not necessarily inferthat most American engineering schools and programs have adopted or developed active learningwell. Rather, dominant images often have normative value.
