, community,or other source, contextual listening has a broader meaning. It refers to A multidimensional, integrated understanding of the listening process wherein listening facilitates meaning making, enhances human potential, and helps foster community-supported change. In this form of listening, information such as cost, weight, technical specs, desirable functions, and timeline acquires meaning only when the context of the person(s) making the requirements (their history, political agendas, desires, forms of knowledge, etc.) is fully understood [19, p. 125].Although students in IFCS did not engage with an actual community, the posing of the tankproblem underscored the value of listening to a community to

We call thefirst of these two Start alone styles: Start alone, End together. This pattern of studying tends tofocus on a formal agreement among students to come together at a preset time(s) to discussdifficulties, compare answers, and engage in other benefits of collective effort. The secondvariation, Start alone, End almost together, while similar in philosophy to Start alone, Endtogether, tends to be more casual and less structured. In this pattern of studying, studentstypically agree with a group of other students to begin a task on their own, and

Such programs may be self-regulated, assisted by a parent,or led by an informal educator (e.g., a camp counselor).The Informal Pathways to Engineering StudyTo answer our research questions, we created a longitudinal study following 60 middle schoolstudents in two states. 10 of these students are not traditionally schooled. 8 students are currentlyhomeschooled by their parent(s) and 2 students attend virtual public schools and have instructorswho are not their parents.

Theysuggested alternative, non-linear models whose chief merit would be the opportunity to regaincontrol over assigning meaning and value to one’s career, on one’s own terms, not theorganization’s.21 The question emerges, then, of what career socialization looks like given theincreased personal agency advocated by Buzzanell and Goldzwig in the face of the broadchanges identified by Sullivan and others.16One avenue for answering this question is to explore the discourses surrounding mentoring. Inher review of the literature, Jacobi defined mentoring as a personal, reciprocal relationshipbetween a protégé and someone of greater experience or accomplishment who helps the protégétoward some achievement(s) by providing psychological/emotional support

How are the characteristics of LTS faculty different from other engineering faculty? a. It is hypothesized that LTS faculty might be different than other engineering faculty, since differences have been found among the students who engage in LTS; for example, women might be over-represented among LTS faculty compared to engineering faculty overall. b. The demographic characteristics for LTS faculty were identified to answer research question 1. The characteristics for engineering faculty overall were taken

the aim of this preliminary study into the integration of a molecular dynamicssimulation into a traditional tensile test lab. Students’ ability to use the presence or absence ofdislocations or the formation and motion of dislocations as the basis for explanations fordifference in macroscale and nanoscale sample stress-strain behavior varied, but was generallylimited and fragmented. Recommendations for better integration of the lab components focus ona reduction of concepts in the tensile test lab, increased analysis of simulation data for easiercomparison across samples, and re-sequencing of topics before and after this the tensile test lab.Bibliography1.

In defining“leader”, student responses shifted from simplistic definitions that viewed leaders asauthoritarian figures with the responsibility for command and controlling others to morecomplex definitions that view leaders as those who have a positive and authentic relationshipwith and responsibility to those s/he is leading. There is a shift from a focus on the leader to afocus on the relationship the leader has with others. In defining “leadership”, once again thestudent responses shift from simple to more complex definitions. They started with a focus onthe leader him or herself, and moved to an understanding of leadership as a process that must bemarked by positive interactions and relationships with others. These
