For example, a new ill-definedsituation or problem requires analysis wherein prior knowledge and/or skills are used todeconstruct concepts, to examine the interrelationships of the parts and determine theircontribution to the whole. While organization employs compare and contrast strategies to resolveconflicts between prior knowledge and the new challenge in a systematic effort to create aconsistent value system. Both skills are thus used iteratively to formulate new mental models thatwill facilitate inquiry, reflection and application of the newly acquired knowledge to futureencounters. In their groundbreaking work, Felder and Silverman10 concurred, “most of what welearn on our own (as opposed to in class) originates

Research questionsIn order to better understand the experiences of students who were sent at-home laboratory kitsto use alongside this MOOC, we ask four primary research questions:1. How can we characterize the ways in which students around the world use onlineresources with the at-home lab kits? What online behaviors can we identify for the students inthe treatment group when they are likely to be using the kits at home? For example, how muchtime do they spend online watching lab videos that demonstrate kit experiments?2. How is their use of the kits reflected in their online individual and collaborativebehaviors?

While it’s likely that this difference ingraduation age between fields is due in part to a higher proportion of returning students in non-engineering fields, it may also reflect differences in average time to degree and proportion of parttime students in these fields.

These areas include creativity,ethnographic research (which involves observing and talking with strangers), presenting one’sideas to peers and superiors, accepting and objectively reflecting on constructive (and non-constructive) criticism, and working on teams with people whom you did not select (and may notlike). The more confident and competent one is in performing these tasks, the more effective aninnovators he/she is. However, if the inherent anxiety of these tasks diminishes one’s confidence,the reduction of competence will follow, leading to yet lower confidence.An

Because the survey in this case is an anonymous, linear instrument, no dialogiccommunication occurred between writers and participants. Although it does not reflect on thevalidity of the survey or the research outcomes, it warrants a note because of the subjectivityinherent in such a mono-logic transfer of information.
