willingness to adopt innovation by using teacher createdlesson plans as a source of data.In our prior work, we have empirically documented a number of potential indicators that areassociated with teacher potential to adopt innovations. Our goal for this project was to gainsome foundational understanding of how teachers plan to teach engineering, and their attentionto implementing other educational innovations. To achieve this goal, we analyzed a sample of42 teacher created lesson plans drawn from a larger sample of over 300 STEM related lessonplans. We found that the teachers communicated incomplete understanding of engineeringpractices and design, yet created plans that shared the responsibility for assignment decisionswith the students.

Originally we had students upload their plan to Microsoft SharePoint, whichwas not part of our university’s LMS. For the fall 2016 semester we created a section for allentering first year students in Canvas, our LMS.

the project management course inagile methods were encouraged to organize their teams and projects according to scrum.At the core of scrum is the notion of empowering the team to organize the tasks independentlytogether with the idea of quick prototyping for fast customer feedback. Formal methods, incontext, rely more heavily on documentation, planning and preparation. The hypothesis forthis study is that delegating the responsibility of project organization to the student teamwould motivate the students to take a greater responsibility for both the project and their ownlearning, and, that this would promote increased student learning by way of motivatingstudent responsibility.Students of the three scrum-teams took a large responsibility for
