learning is commonly referred to as learning by doing and typically involvesdiscovery and exploration with a focus on learning through experience. Extensive research hasbeen done regarding the need to shift toward experiential learning. Kolb originally identified fourmain components of experiential learning as shown in Figure 1 and also described below:11 1. Concrete Experience – The key to learning is active involvement. Kolb’s research indicates that an individual can’t simply read, watch or listen but to learn effectively they must do. 2. Reflective Observation – Reflection on the new experience while focusing on any inconsistencies between experience and understanding. 3. Abstract Conceptualization – Reflection gives

In line with those objectives and trends,this paper discusses grounded theory development via metaphors, an approach that has not beenwidely engaged in engineering education, and highlights its challenges. In doing so, the paperalso raises larger questions about theory in engineering education research. The aims of thisarticle are threefold: 1) to demonstrate how new metaphors can contribute to grounded theorydevelopment, 2) to explain the significance of such approaches, and 3) to identify challenges ofintroducing grounded theories and new metaphors in engineering education research.This paper follows others who have reflected on their own research studies,9 and calls

Engineering)The quotations above reflect a common experience for engineering students: norm-referencedgrading (or grading on a curve). Norm-referenced grading has often been linked to problems ofretention in engineering and other STEM fields. In their widely cited study on whyundergraduates leave the sciences, Seymour and Hewitt attribute norm-referenced grading tocreating a competitive atmosphere where students are pitted against one another—an atmospherethat alienates many otherwise capable students[1]. Individual engineering faculty have likewisespoken out against the practice for fostering a competitive atmosphere that discourages studentsfrom developing the collaboration competencies ABET now requires [2, 3].

These observations informed our categorizationof “Interactive Response” (IR) as a site of learning mediated by diverse interactions with bothpeople (instructors, peers, friends/family, clients) and symbolic artifacts (e.g., professional codesof ethics). In this conception of IR, we pick up on Hattie and Timperley’s broader notion offeedback as provided by multiple “agent[s]”[8] in response to a particular

This is quite similar to Deming’s plan (think),do (and feel), check (reflect), and act (revise) learning cycle. Deming’s PDCA cycle is used herebecause it also further grounds the students’ learning in industrial engineering practice, asstudents may have learned about Deming and his work in their studies on quality, management,and continuous improvement, which is also cited in the project management literature[6, p.229].This enables the learning strategy to potentially be
