Paper ID #33598Improving Spatial Visualization Skills of High School Students ThroughSketch Training on a Touchscreen (Evaluation)Ms. J. Jill Rogers, The University of Arizona J. Jill Rogers is the assistant director for ENGR 102 HS at the University of Arizona. ENGR 102 HS is an AP-type, dual credit college level, introductory engineering course offered to high school students. In 2014, the ENGR 102 HS program won the ASEE best practices in K-12 and University partnerships award. Over the years Rogers has developed K-12 science summer camps, conducted K-12 educational re- search, developed engineering curricula for

session. There are opportunities for continuedinteraction with students during reference and research consultation services. Librarians whoparticipate in student clubs, research expos, or practice embedded librarianship are able to buildmeaningful connections with students to provide research and academic support. Therefore, ILcurricula should be carefully and frequently evaluated for excessive materials. Librarians shouldrefrain from the urge to teach everything in a single session. Instead, they should consider theapproach to ‘microlearning’ or bite-sized learning. This approach to microlearning is a part ofthreshold concepts, which are the basis for ACRL framework [1]. Threshold concepts “are thoseideas in any discipline that are passageways

However, the first-year iteration wastaught during the Spring 2020 semester and was transitioned to an online course for the lastseven weeks of the fifteen-week semester due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Possible implicationsof this transition on the results of this study will be discussed.

The problem was that the transition did not align withthe original instructional design.

The results of this activity showed up many times in the students' daily journalsin which they wrote that they learned more about the importance of water conservation.Following the water cycle activity was a fish tagging activity. This included how the fish taggingworks, the importance of it, and how scientists and engineers use the process to determine thehealth of streams and movement of fish in the stream. Thanks to the aid of a graduate student inFisheries Biology, students had the opportunity to engage in the practice of tagging fish.During the
