Preliminary results obtained by comparing the midterm exam scores prior to usingLESs and while using LESs in the classroom are also presented.3.1 LES Integration Model (LESIM)Conceptually LESIM is used to improve student learning based on the model shown in Figure1.

Figure 1 provides a visual representation of the cyclic nature of a transition and the fourmain aspects of this theoretical framework.Figure 1: The Schlossberg Transition Theory Framework (adapted from Schlossberg, 1981).Each S within this framework addresses an aspect of transition. Self describes personalcharacteristics of one’s image and their psychological resources. It also includes demographiccharacteristics, perceptions of themselves, and their value systems. Situation is rooted more inthe actual transition and the changes that are occurring. This is

The action plan should state the learning objective, the action(s) to be taken ormethod by which the objective is to be met, and the means of monitoring and reviewing progress. 4Discussion & LimitationsOne of the gurus on the concept of competency, Richard Boyatsiz together with his colleagueSaatcioglu argues that the perfect set of competencies should be formed of three dimensionswhich are emotional, social and cognitive intelligence (Boyatsiz & Saatcioglu, 2008). Afteranalyzing the latest version of student outcomes from Boyatsiz’s perspective, we can say thatmost of the outcomes match with the

If categories occur simultaneously, thecodes are sorted in ascending order to make the data organized. We implemented an overlappingprocedure approach presented in [18] to incorporate multiple codes. We selected a data thresholdsuch that short time intervals (< ~3 s) were ignored. After manipulating the data, an agreementmatrix is formed similar to shown in Table 1, on which any statistical IRR calculation can beexecuted (Cohen’s Kappa, Krippendorff’s Alpha, Scott’s Pi, etc.).

The challenge becomes providing studentswith effective exposure to both kinds of skills within engineering programs.Traditionally, the development of such skills has been a matter of content-specific courseworkintegrated into a school’s engineering program(s). (A classic example is the technical writingcourse often offer by English or communication departments and required of engineeringundergraduates.) As institutional resources shrink and student demand increases, the need tofind alternative methods for offering training in these “soft-skill” areas grows

For example, Hegarty, Mayer & Green [18] found thatrephrasing a simple
