Of course, the goal was notonly for students to know how to use these electronic tools, but to know how they can be appliedin a variety of circumstances. The course was planned to follow Bloom’s model of learning wherethe students first memorized the various tools of the SolidWorks software and what they were usedfor. It was later in the semester when the course transitioned towards a more application andcreation form of learning where students were expected to utilize what they had learned towardsmore open-ended tasks. This was most prevalent with a project assignment where the students hadcomplete creative freedom in what they designed within the

Such awareness and monitoring processes are often refer to asmetacognition –“ the processes in which the individual carefully considers thoughts in problemsolving situations through the strategies of self-planning, self-monitoring, self-regulating, self-questioning, self-reflecting, and or self-reviewing” [1]. The contention of this research is thatmetacognitive awareness on the part of students can be improved through systematic and directinstructions on strategic thinking. To support that, three important metacognitive interventions,as detailed below, are carefully designed into the interactive game activities.• Road Map training

Iterations can be intentional (planned) to create useful information required in the designprocess, or they can be unintentional (unplanned) “resulting from new information arriving at thewrong time in the process.”13Spacecraft design is highly iterative Improving the spacecraft design process requires understanding that process. This leads tothe question of what do we know about the spacecraft design process? The design process, ingeneral, can be viewed “as a set of complex activities with discernable interrelationships.”13 Inthe case of the spacecraft, the designer has to deal with different scientific requirements andengineering disciplines

The scale’s reliability factors are relatively high, but the mean scores are rather low. This confirms the feeling of the didactic team that the lectures about the design process and project planning are a bit theoretical for the students. They do not see how this lecture can be useful to their project. After introducing small examples in the lectures, in the academic year 2008-2009 a

In order to plan an appropriate introductory course, answers were used by our researchers to acquire a better understanding of the student’s computer literacy level. The sessions started with the two researchers providing the students with an introductory course on how to use the self-teaching application. Following that, students used the application on their own. Data collection included the researchers’ field notes, questionnaires provided to the students after completion of the third (see Table 2) and fifth (see Table 3) modules, and interviews with eight children after completion of the third, fifth, and final modules

Finally, metacogni-tion, or „thinking about thinking,‟ has an impact on the development of modeling strategies ofstudents, when the impacts of four metacognitive dimensions are considered: awareness, plan-ning, cognitive strategy and self-checking. Students who are better at self-checking show highergrowth in their modeling abilities over the course of a year, compared to students who are lessproficient at self-checking. The growth in modeling abilities is also moderated by the cognitivestrategy and planning skills of the student. After some experience with modeling is attained, stu-dents who have enhanced
