been a cornerstone component of scientific achievement since the mid-1950’s (Burnham, 1990). Despite its tremendous post-war boom to become the de facto standardfor scientific and technical publications and the largely similar goal of providing feedback toimprove quality, peer review is still only moderately used as a pedagogical tool within the highereducation classroom. The single greatest hindrance toward utilizing peer review in the classroomis getting students to accept that it is a viable source for feedback and assessment. Ballantyne etal. (2002) undertook a study of 1,654 first- and second-year students spanning three semestersstudying four different courses. Despite continual efforts based on feedback from students andfaculty to

We summarized four domains based on the interviews and transcription as follows. Due tothe page limit, we only excerpt what they said corresponding to domain 4 which gives uspreliminary data related with question 1. Domain 1: What it’s like to be in the program—relationships amongst students Domain 2: What type/s of people are like to be in the program—people types Domain 3: What type/s of people are like to be in the program—type/s of yourself Domain 4: What impacts of PBSL on you are—changes of your personality or identity Student A participated in PBSL 4

The instructors alsocompleted the scale at the beginning of the semester.ParticipantsThirty-eight participants completed both the pre-course and post-course surveys. Ten participantswere enrolled in Instructor A’s section; 28 were enrolled in Instructor B’s section. All werejuniors or seniors majoring in engineering or related disciplines. Nine identified as women and29 as men. Four participants were from non-U. S. countries and had spent most or all of theirpre-collegiate years outside the U. S. Twenty-nine students were members of a registered studentorganization and/or a social fraternity or sorority; 10 of those students had been officers in one ormore organizations. Four participants had

], [14], [18], [19].Need for a STEM Observation ProtocolIn addition to the challenge of defining STEM education, there have been challenges in assessingintegrated STEM instruction in K-12 classrooms. Given the rapid development of both K-12engineering and integrated STEM, it is critical that researchers have access to valid and reliableinstruments to determine the efficacy of different teaching and curricular approaches related toboth teacher effectiveness and student learning. The lack of a protocol designed specifically forsuch teaching will lead to reliance on the use of teacher self-report data or the use of protocolsthat measure “just good” teaching without consideration of the nature of the discipline(s) beingtaught. Existing instruments
as shown in Figure 1below. This guided instructional effort for subsequent labs and in-class sessions in the course.At the end of the quarter, mastery of these standards within this course will be shared withCapstone instructors to inform their coaching as these are skills fundamental to the Capstonedesign process.Assessment of Incoming Related SkillsUntil mastery-based grading has been implemented throughout the sequence, quizzes based onthe relevant LO of the previous course(s) will be administered to tailor instruction in the absenceof SBG data from the previous courses. A statistics concept quiz has been administered withconcepts relevant to the experimental design course. Results show overall mastery in selection ofappropriate
perspectives and cross-cultural skills such as the InterculturalDevelopment Inventory (IDI) [8], Miville Guzman Universality Diversity Scale (MGUD-S) [9],and the Engineering Global Preparedness Index (EGPI) [10]. The global perspectives ofengineering students in this study was measured via the Global Perspective Inventory (GPI) [11].This instrument was used because it closely aligns with global perspective constructs the studyaims to measure. The GPI is also a validated instrument and widely used for a basis forcomparison against non-engineers. Additionally, a number of studies have used the GPI toexamine the impact of study abroad experiences with consistent results and strong statisticalreliability and validity [11, 12, 13].
