When reflecting on thedifferent roles among team members, participants at the baseline often noted that thesedistinctions felt blurred. As one education researcher explained: I think we’re figuring out exactly what our roles are—of our evaluator, our social scientist, our education specialist. It’s not bad or problematic, but we realize that it needs to be done. Because those lines aren’t necessarily clear, and maybe they shouldn’t be all that clear, because the data collected, and the analysis, and the work of those three people is

Second, we identified Team-based learning (TBL) and active learning exercises(ALEx) as two teaching methods, which have been proposed in the literature as alternatives toconventional teaching [5],[6]. Furthermore, these innovative TMs may have potential forwidespread implementation in university teaching. Third, we analyzed and evaluated the twoidentified TMs against the identified criteria for good teaching of large classes and we discussthe limitations of our study and how the pros of both methods can, in theory, be used to

Tobegin to deepen campers learning, the camp was revised in 2017 to reflect the aforementionedpedagogical objectives of the advisory committee.By transforming the week into an investigation into how to power a metropolis, campers wouldlearn to apply knowledge of different generators, and electrical circuits to build a model city.This design process would provide campers with what Scardamealia and Beretter [10] describeas knowledge building opportunities. The campers would collectively inquire into energyengineering to complete a common goal and synthesize ideas.

In Devers’ research, the opposite is shownwith scores higher than 3.5.

Task oriented students focus their attention on the task, not on extrinsicrewards; learning, understanding, developing new skills, and problem-solving are motivators [17,23].

Cronbach’s alpha is a common metric forgauging reliability. Its calculation reflects the internal consistency, that is, how related a set ofitems are as a group. Higher values reflect a set of items that are more closely related (valuesrange from 0 to 1.0). For all concepts the calculated Cronbach alpha coefficient was acceptable(above .70), and a composite score was generated using the average response value acrossassociated items.
