In this paper, WBEs are defined as paidengagements for students as they work on solving real-world problems, while performing tasksand projects in partnership with an employer or community partner. Three types of WBEs arerepresented: internships (Study 1), apprenticeships (Study 2), and company employees (Study 3).All three studies used the Socio-Technical Integration Research (STIR) methodology which hasbeen established in 80 studies worldwide and over a dozen peer-reviewed publications.

above. Here we will identify severalworldviews of the PLC from social and cultural perspectives.a) Technological innovation as the prime economic driver: This is the theory that innovation(creative destruction), and the creation of ever new PLCs, is central to economic growth(Schumpeter 16). Progress in technology does account for a large part of economic growth, but itis not a new idea, not even when Schumpeter was writing about it. Innovation to create newPLCs to satisfy venture capitalists was a driver for the first European settlers in North America inthe early 1600s.17 It is embedded in the Constitution of the United States.18 It is still a verywidely and very strongly held belief and a perennial rationale for the benefits, and the costs

Indicator on incoming collegestudents. These results show that 60% of the students have a practical rather than theoreticalorientation toward learning, and that this percentage is growing. Other research has shown thatstudents prefer concrete active learning activities to abstract reflective learning by a ratio of 5 to112. The general conclusion is that active modes of teaching and learning create the best matchfor today’s students. These can include: small-group discussions and projects, in-classpresentations and debates, experiential exercises, field experiences, simulations, and case studies.Silberman also discusses the social side of learning, “[Students] tend to become more engaged inlearning because they are doing it with their peers.

Summarizing social theorist Max Weber’s classicconcepts of bureaucratic organizations, Gorman and Mosseri [2] write: In the prototypical bureaucratic organization, work is divided into well‐defined, nonoverlapping jobs that remain fixed for substantial periods of time. The performance of work is governed by written rules specifying the appropriate way to handle different categories of situations, so that workers' individual discretion is limited. Each role reports to a superior one in a

On the one hand, itis notable that at least one interviewee was able to provide a fairly nuanced comparison of thetwo concepts, describing morality as “more of a personal thing” and ethics as “more of a codifiedstandard.” On the other hand, only a few students even attempted this delineation, and those whodid typically fell short of a satisfactory response.

We posit that linking robotics-basedlessons with Bloom’s cognitive domains can allow students to draw connections between diverseSTEM concepts, apply their learning to new situations, and control their own learning. The example lessons address typical educational objectives of K-12 STEM disciplinesand strengthen students’ ability to learn the subject material.
