Ninety-two responses for eachsubscale were coded and used to calculate the mean. Because the statements alternate betweenthe positive and negative, care is taken when calculating the mean [20] for each subscale. Thelatest research suggests that negatively worded items should not be used because they measuredifferent constructs [22]. To address this issue, items from even numbered statements werereverse scored before calculating the mean score. The first subscale reflects responses related tothe participants’ perception of the usability of the method. For this subscale, the mean score wascalculated from

Later, after repolling, the instructor can view thechange in the students’ responses and reflect upon the effectiveness (or lack thereof) ofadditional comments or explanations. It is indeed humbling for an instructor to experiencenegligible or even “incorrect” changes among students’ responses after “the perfect explanation”has been given.

According to Healey andJenkins [24], learning styles reflect a diversity of environmental considerations including thoseattributable to gender and cultural differences. Willingham, et al. [25] and others [26]–[28],however, contend that there are inherent problems with the learning styles theories and that theylack scientific rigor.Kolb’s model suggests that experiential learning can be characterized as a four-phase cyclicmodel.

We also take students’ grades in the linear algebra course to be reflective of theirenvironment, rather than their ability, because the programming assignment we study involved forming anAx = b matrix from a set of equations. Based on students’ difficulty with this concept in class, wehypothesized that having prior knowledge of linear algebra would be helpful on this programmingassignment.

The knowledge gap also often results in the repetition of topics and prolongedlab sessions, as well as more serious issues such as the mishandling of equipment.STEM instruction typically is based on verbal, deductive, reflective, and sequential learningmethods. However, studies show that students in science and engineering programs tend to dowell with visual, inductive, active, and global learning methods.
