Session The Reflection Technique: Increasing Classroom Involvement & Learning Mark L. Dean Purdue University School of TechnologyAbstractLecture-based teaching is the traditional didactic format. Some subject materials, for examplemathematics, may lend themselves particularly well to such a format. However, other subjectmatter may be best mastered in an environment of interactive discovery, where issues can bediscussed, debated, thought about, and struggled with in an open and relatively free flowingformat. This paper presents such an interactive technique, termed the method

We directly build on Zoltowski et al.’s[2] findings which suggest that engineering students experience human-centered design in sevencategorically discrete ways. Guided by this prior study, we seek to address the research question,“To what extent can we use post-course open-ended written reflection data to identifyengineering students’ ways of experiencing human-centered design?” The use of reflection datato categorize students’ ways of experiencing human-centered design is unique from othermethods that have extended Zoltowski et al.’s work but may offer a more accessible assessmentmodality for design instructors.
