Modeling those systems, they can then look at the attributes of the teachers, school, school district, and figure out what enhances or detracts from the successful deployment of EarSketch from a sustainability stand point, sustaining the project beyond the grant.This team member understands that modeling helps to develop theories about bothimplementation (P3) and sustainability (P4.) This is reflective of the initial goals ofthe modeling effort set forth in the proposal development, where the intent was toidentify barriers and enablers to intervention sustainability.Some of the members of the team articulated a more

The MMET 207 lab size was held at a maximum of 16, regardless of semester offering,since this was restricted by physical lab space. It is conjectured that the different class sizes andthe resulting teacher-to-student ratio, and hence the individual attention that could be afforded toeach student could have had an impact on student perception of the topic/instructor and the classin general (and potentially performance) as well, as was reflected in the research. Further, theimpact of missing a class/day was much more significant in the case of the summer sessionoffering. Regular semester

These show a strong majority of studentspreferring to work at the board, and noting the greater opportunity for collaboration that thismethod afforded.ConclusionThe value of group work at the board - for promoting collaboration, effectively reaching asolution with limited time, and learning something new – has been demonstrated here. However,it is important to take into account the diversity of student learning styles in a classroom, andpromote facilitation methods to engage, inspire, and accommodate the strengths of both activeand reflective learners (Felder and Silverman, 1988). While active group engagement is a centralgoal of the workshops, many students will gain

For this question, the theme of breaking misconceptions of creativityemerged in some student responses. As one student noted, he or she previously did not see researchas being related to creativity. The student’s statement reflects the frequent misconception ofcreativity as being related to art, rather than to engineering or the sciences.
