Competency integrated standards of achievementprovide guidelines for improvement including strengths and weaknesses of the course, contentchanges, methods of content delivery, and assessment8.Competency is defined as having the ability to do a set task(s) focusing on the application ofknowledge and not only on the acquisition of knowledge or skills8,9. Using competency basedstandards, the strengths and weakness of a course could be effectively determined8. One methodis to define a competency based curriculum, where students have to achieve a minimum level ofknowledge in their studies to graduate. These competencies provide a set of guidelines for studentsto move closer to their educational goals. These

packages. They then improve and reevaluate this design13.The study recruited teachers from Massachusetts, Maryland, and North Carolina. Allparticipating teachers received three days of professional development on the curriculum unit(s)that they would be teaching (assigned based on alignment with which science topics theyreported teaching). They then implemented their assigned unit during the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 school years. As part of this implementation, students completed all written work in anengineering notebook which was returned to the researchers when the unit was completed. Theengineering notebooks were developed for the efficacy study by consolidating worksheetsalready included in the teacher’s guides for the units and binding
particular, the facilitator emphasized the importanceof setting a clear team mission and goals, achieving team motivation through the careful balanceof each team member’s interests, and a team culture that promotes and encourages contributionfrom each team member.Students then participated in a modified version of the fort-building activity, which was intendedto be more structured and reflective of the knowledge students had just been provided. To thisend, the goal of the second build was modified to "maximizing the team score, objectivelymeasurable by a given metric". The metric to be maximized was (n + s)(h – 4) – y, where n, s, h,and y were defined as the total number of towers, the number of square towers, the height of thetallest tower (in

Additionally, it is believed that these perceptions couldbe positively impacted with more directed student instruction as to how to interpret and utilizethe standards-based grading feedback. There was very little such instruction in this course,meaning that students often failed to effectively leverage the rubric feedback to guide theirlearning.AcknowledgementsThis work was made possible by a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF DUE1503794).

However,phenomenological researchers highlight the importance of maintaining “a bridled attitude,” thecommitment to openness throughout the research process; this concept includes healthy tensionbetween existing theories/literature and what should be seen or enacted from the narratives ofparticipants’ lived experiences. The primary purpose of phenomenological research is to shedlight on the important facets of human experiences that are either less explored in the existingliterature, or currently calling for a deeper, more holistic, or simply different understanding. 19,20As a result, Berry’s acculturation theory and Schwartz et al.’s revised model served as a broadperspective in conceptualizing student veterans’ transition experience as

summer program, students were asked to rate their perceivedinterest and success in math and science activities. Table 1 presents responses from theparticipants and the average rate for students’ math/science interest and math/science success.Students were asked to provide a rate using the scale (1 “Do Not Like” to 10 “Like A Lot”)gauging interest and (1 “Low success” to 10 “Very high success”) gauging level of success.Compared to science, students slightly rated their math skills higher for both interest and successwith an average of 8.28 for both categories. Average rating of science skills for interest andsuccess were 7.97 and 7.92, respectively. More 10’s were selected by students as their perceivedrate for math interest and success (12 and

cooperative work experience. For each co-op assignment, three different metrics areused to evaluate the experience, and each metric has been designed to gather program assessmentdata. Metric 1: Approximately mid semester, a faculty member visits each student at theiremployment site, meeting with both the student and their supervisor(s). At the site visit, thefaculty member collects assessment data on the student’s performance, how well the institutionhas prepared the student, and educational areas that the employer feels can be improved.Feedback gathered during the faculty member’s visit is recorded using a common reporttemplate. Metric 2: At the end of the co-op assignment, the students complete an online, self-evaluation of their experience. A

Concepts are elaborated withan aid of pictures, videos and diagrams on the white board. In addition to the students’participation in the lab work, various physical samples are presented to broaden theirunderstanding. An individual and group lab report is required to summarize procedures,observation, and analysis after completion of each lab. Homework (HW) with different types ofproblems are presented based on the lecture and reading materials. Individual feedback to aspecific student as well as feedback to the group(s) are provided in
