In anattempt to provide clarity, Weigert offered the following six elements to describe servicelearning:3  the student provides meaningful service,  the service that students provide meets a need or goal of some kind,  members of a community define the need,  the service provided by the students flows from course objectives,  service is integrated into the course by means of one or more assignments that requires some form of reflection on the service in light of course objectives, and  assignments rooted in the service must be

In PBL, students are asked to put their knowledge to use and tobe reflective and self-directed learners.”23Barrows and Kelson24 identify five goals behind the design of PBL instruction. Self-directed learning is explicitly stated. The goals are the following: 1) construct knowledge; 2) acquire problem-solving skills; 3) become self-directed learners; 4) develop effective collaborative skills; and 5) enhance intrinsic motivation to learn.The act of engaging in SDL is an essential component of the student learning in PBL.Whether this is implicit for the students or made explicit by their facilitators, the studentsare

While it’s likely that this difference ingraduation age between fields is due in part to a higher proportion of returning students in non-engineering fields, it may also reflect differences in average time to degree and proportion of parttime students in these fields.

These areas include creativity,ethnographic research (which involves observing and talking with strangers), presenting one’sideas to peers and superiors, accepting and objectively reflecting on constructive (and non-constructive) criticism, and working on teams with people whom you did not select (and may notlike). The more confident and competent one is in performing these tasks, the more effective aninnovators he/she is. However, if the inherent anxiety of these tasks diminishes one’s confidence,the reduction of competence will follow, leading to yet lower confidence.An

Because the survey in this case is an anonymous, linear instrument, no dialogiccommunication occurred between writers and participants. Although it does not reflect on thevalidity of the survey or the research outcomes, it warrants a note because of the subjectivityinherent in such a mono-logic transfer of information.

The primaryvalue of iteration is to improve designs and artifacts or solve problems, and in service of thosegoals, to build understandings of materials or tools. In this view, while iteration is central toengineering design, it should be employed only when efficient and effective, and the drafts leftbehind are erased in presentation of the final artefact.In contrast to product-oriented iteration in which iteration is complete or successful only when itleads to decisions or improvements [3], in person-oriented iteration, or iteration-to-learn, thechance to redo and revise provides novice designers
