instituted a dedicated pedagogy seminarthat all studio GTAs attend. In this seminar, we have integrated concepts from ComplexInstruction in mathematics with particular attention to the way students’ status impacts theirparticipation on a team and their opportunity to learn.24,25 We are also working towards moreintentional ways for studio team formation, reflection, and interdependence. To this end we havepiloted the use of the CATME tool26 in one studio class. Finally, we have engaged our IndustrialAdvisory Board (IAB) as a source for problems to integrate in the studio. We have been workingwith the IAB Chair to develop a process where we can translate the project experiences of ourindustrial partners into useful studio activities for our students.4

In fact, student reflections on teaming activities andcases of conflict in teams decrease over the course of the semester. Instead, we believe that thisshift occurs as students learn more about what it means to be a good team member, become morecomfortable giving their peers feedback and subsequently deliver ratings that are more realistic.As part of understanding students’ perceptions of working on diverse teams, we have beenpaying close attention to how

Thus, “…when any three of them are fixed, the fourth is determined” [37,p 98].When using NHST, an effective way to minimize the probability of committing Type I and TypeII errors and ensure that significant results reflect important substantive meaning, is to conductan a priori power analysis to determine an optimal sample size given an expected effect size [37,34].
