) s = standard deviationEffect size is generally used in studies which employ a well-defined control group forcomparison with the experimental group. In such cases, the standard deviation of the controlgroup is used. Boud’s recommendation for studies which compare student to instructorassessment is to use the standard deviation of the instructors assessment.This statistic is useful in determining how well the students’ self-assessment reflects theperformance of the class as a whole. A value of zero indicates perfect agreement, while apositive value indicates that the students overestimate their proficiency. Boud suggests thatvalues of 0.2 are considered small, values of 0.8 are considered large.A correlation coefficient can be used to

skills of engineering students. Since itscreation in the 1950’s, Bloom’s Taxonomy has been widely studied and accepted as the standardevaluation tool. By using Bloom’s Taxonomy, people not associated with engineering educationcan identify with this multi-disciplinary project and its objectives. Bloom’s Taxonomy forms thebasis for the development of assessment rubrics used as evaluation tools. The assessment evaluation is independent of problem grading. The class grade is basedon the instructor’s objectives, while the cognitive assessment is based on rubrics independent ofthe numerical solution. It was never Bloom’s idea to have his taxonomy used to provide coursegrades. A participating student may demonstrate a high level of critical

student math and science performance has beento use inquiry learning for promoting teachers’ deep understanding of foundational STEM(science, technology, engineering, and math) concepts and the processes and the connectionsbetween them. Research shows that STEM teachers in U. S. schools lack content knowledge andmastery of subject-related pedagogy that enables them to teach content most effectively1. Theyalso lack a sense of the connections among concepts that reveal mathematics as an internallylogical and coherent system of knowledge2. This forces teachers to use lectures to deliver Page 13.241.3content, which emphasizes procedure over engagement

Inherent Social Constraints: The Jordanian women were affected with all the inherited social constraints that may deviate their thinking from getting involved in certain activities. Some of these activities do not welcome women. For instance, attitude tests in the 1970’s demonstrated that social implications and social responsibility issues have a significant effect on girls’ choices, but little on boys’1. This is in spite of the fact that studies indicated that men and women are attracted to the engineering profession for similar reasons, including ability in mathematics and science, career opportunities, challenge, and good salary prospects. 2.

Themeaning of these terms is rarely (one might even venture to say “if ever”) defined ahead of time,leading us to wonder: exactly what expectations are the students being asked to meet with regardto creativity, and what rubric(s) are their instructors using to assess them? Without a betterframework for defining creativity (in design and elsewhere), instructors cannot evaluate theirstudents accurately and objectively or guide them towards improved performance.Sorting Things Out: Problem Solving and the Distinction between Level and StyleTo help resolve this dilemma, we turn to Kirton’s Adaption-Innovation (A-I) theory12, a well-established branch of problem solving theory that offers rigorous definitions and cleardistinctions between
