As novices learning unfamiliar tasks in an environment that currently is stressful, students may feel anxiety. Tell students about your own experiences with working remotely during the pandemic and strategies that worked for you. Consider using reflections with students to help them process their experiences and identify challenges.As we live and work in the COVID-19 and (eventually) post-COVID-19 eras, we will continue tolearn best practices for working remotely, including conducting research with undergraduatestudents.

After taking thisquiz, students were able to practice the problems and then retake the quiz. Students wererequired to earn 70% to move on to the next lesson. Therefore, scores on all but the first quizwere relatively high, leading to a restricted range in the data. We reasoned that the first quizattempt reflected knowledge gained after the activity and instruction, which were the target ofour intervention. However, students were aware that they would be able to retake the quiz,potentially impacting their motivation on this assessment. In our future research using thesematerials, we may make the first quiz worth more points

As the framework states, “Engineering Learning is anintentional design process that positions students to cognitively engage with content and data usingprofessional tools, while interacting and collaborating with peers to develop their contentexpertise, skills, and professional practices. The end goal is to create the richest opportunities forstudents to become innovative STEM leaders.” Principles included in the framework includealignment with student learning outcomes, engagement with active learning, reflecting on

In thisexercise, the students are first asked to predict the sensor (probe) response (based on what theyhave learned in the lectures and reading materials) and then calculate the response using thesimulation software (Figure 2). Afterwards, the students are asked to analyze the response inlight of their initial predictions and reflect on any mismatch. In this first exercise, the studentsonly study the probe physics and not the probe interaction with a flaw, which will be explored inthe second

Students can work in a highly self-directed way while being a part of a larger team.Notably, a salient trend in the research suggests that students with highly developedself-directed learning skills connect and consult with a range of peers and leverage theirlearning network to make their choices about the direction of their learning [1].Foundational literature that examines the construction of a successful self-directed learningenvironment suggests that learning should reflect three distinct parts: The learner, the educator,and the learning resources [2].

reflection techniques are used. A widely used application of Kolb’s work is to use learningcycles where the students interact with content in both physical and abstract ways, successivelycompleting 1) a concrete experience, 2) reflective observation, 3) abstract conceptualization, and4) active experimentation [9]. One of the most common methods is to use an actual project,where students must produce a final artifact, regardless of whether it takes the form of somethingphysical or virtual. The advantages of physical artifacts are rooted in constructionism, whichsays that physically building something will trigger new thoughts and creativity, creating newknowledge that may otherwise lay dormant and unused [10].Project Significance This project

On the simplest level, this may take the form of asking students what content was unclearat the end of a lecture, and sharing responsibility for the learning of the material by spending afew minutes clarifying those concepts before the period ends. An examination of the function of content suggests that it is ethical to teach less contentin favor of spending a small portion of student energy on self-reflection, helping them to developas learners. When tangential conversations occur about the applications and implications ofcontent in a lecture, instructors recognize these conversations for the valuable learning momentsthat they are, while

Part of this reflection comes from classical training of architects and the experience imparted tostudents by their design instructors. Rarely are these instructors are experts on educational theories. Theexperience of the faculty may or may not align with the projects and thus, a disconnect exists (Goldschmidtet al. 2010).
