As use became more embedded and the instructor(s) more familiar, inclusion inhomework reflected advanced opportunities to practice/learn material.Variations by Instructional Use. Method of use also varied by site with multiple uses found ateach of the 13 settings. The key methods of use included: 1) instructor demonstration (e.g.,faculty active; student passive, instructor usually at the front of the classroom); 2) cooperative(e.g. student-student dyad or triad collaboration working on a specific assignment in classroomand in lab settings); and 3) independent (e.g

A theory’s usefulness is two-fold, in particular when considering theories to study education interventions and associated change. Atheory must be able to illuminate phenomena of interest, that is, explain and predict. Yet it is also shouldbe practical, meaning potentially informing practice; in our case, this would equate to helping interventionleaders/change agents to

The public school systems in New Orleans prior to Katrina consistedof roughly 65,000 students spread among ~4,000 teachers with a predominantly (~93%) blackpopulation. The term ‘white flight’ was coined in the mid 1900’s to represent the drain of whitefamilies from inner city to suburban neighborhoods after desegregation. In the late 80’s to

presented (Figure 1). The lecturer leads the students towards adiscussion around the different shapes of the vehicles. Soon the students discover the problem oftipping over backwards if there is too much power driving the rear wheels. So, how is the topfuel dragster stable? A simple force balance shows the students the point of the long nose of thedragster is to stabilize it as it applies its large torque to the wheels and accelerates. Torque,which had previously been applied to only abstract and obscure systems now answers a specificand visible question in the students’ minds.

Incremental and continual improvement: Each of the five pilots in his/her class section wasgiven the opportunity to fly the drone for at least two trials. The pilots increased their flyingspeed average from 4.3 ft/s to 4.7 ft/s from the first to the second trial. Furthermore, the standarddeviation of the time recorded decreased from 2.4 seconds to 1.2 seconds, showing incrementalimprovement of accuracy. This can be attributed to both a refinement of piloting skills and betteraccuracy of time data collection by paying closer attention to starting and stopping the watch.Those who observed the experiment and sought out error sources continually improved byidentifying patterns
