Rural Appraisal (PRA) as a suitable concept. The PRA is a well-knownmethod of development cooperation, which aims at incorporating the knowledge and opinionsof rural people in the planning and management of development projects and programs.Thereupon – in the sense of the problem solving model according to Sell/Schimweg – thestudents collected supporting and opposing forces, which are to be expected in theimplementation of their concept. The student group determined several operators for achievinga step-by-step problem solving: With the help of mind maps and group discussions, severalsuggestive questions were set as a first step in the implementation of their training concept.These questions are supposed to be provided to women and men as part

weekly meeting was a 2-hour block of time in the makerspace classroom,which either involved one large project, or two mid-sized projects to take up the time. Projectswere structured to last approximately 90 minutes, so if some students took a little longer they didnot run out of time to complete their projects. If a student finished early, they were given theoption of leaving early each week, or completing a second version of the project from that weekor one of the earlier weeks if they had a hands-on item they wanted to create again.Projects (and related tools included): wooden coasters (measuring, Dremel tools), string art(pattern planning, pliers, hammers, nails), wooden swiss-cheese (power drill, drill bits, vise),ratcheting wrench mini

activity can also segue into a discussion on lumped versus distributed system modeling.Ask students to identify which playdough shapes would cool down uniformly and which wouldremain hot in the middle, while the outer surface cools. In lecture, the instructor introduces theconcept of lumped vs distributed thermal systems and what types of shapes can be reasonablymodeled as lumped systems and why.With some additional equipment and planning this exercise could be repeated later in the courseas a lab with data collection to monitor temperature response. It could also be repeated as a minidesign competition to see which models cool down the quickest.Experiment 3: “Fluid in a Tube”Step Response of a second order system with a variable damping

dimensionality ofthe survey data input increases 𝑛𝑛-TARP should continue to be effective. We intend to expand thedimensionality of the data by including all the questions from the pre-survey instead of the eightquestion subset we used in this study. This goal of including additional questions poses somechallenges since not all questions have a Likert scale, nor are they all ordinal. Further, in this studywe considered pre-course survey responses from only four courses; moving forward we plan toincrease this analysis to over 200 courses.6. CONCLUSIONSIn summary, we proposed a new data analysis approach for survey data using 𝑛𝑛-TARP. We generateda distribution of clusters based on student responses to MOOC pre-course survey questions.

In addition, we also have in place a mechanism for continuous re-vision and improvement of the existing computational modules through an end-of-year debriefand planning session, in which the SIIP faculty and teaching assistant conduct a “post mortem”of the computational modules. By identifying aspects of the material, delivery, and student re-sponses that were positive and successful, and those that were less so, the team identifies how andwhere to improve the material and its dissemination for the following year.The student surveys provide valuable information, but their utility as an assessment instrumentcan benefit from further improvement.

The TDP rubric wasprovided to students as part of the TDP assignment, so they were well aware of all gradingcriteria in advance, so that they could plan accordingly. This rubric allowed us to define clearly,why a particular grade was earned, rather than the previously used subjective, holistic approach.Again, we found this new TDP rubric to be effective in helping students meet the desiredoutcome. Out of 15 teams, 100% exceeded the minimum threshold of 70% for satisfactoryperformance. In fact, the lowest grade was an 83%. While this did not provide for a large spreadin grades (average was 92% with a standard deviation of only 4.2%) the teaching faculty werequite satisfied

number of participants per grade, per ethnicity and in theall-girls after-school STEM program limits generalizations from our data.Although initially planned, a major limitation of the study was that a pre-survey was notconducted limiting the ability to “compare” the influence of the all-girls after-school program.Additionally, the absence of open-ended questions or follow-up interviews with either all-schoolstudents or teachers, limits our insight into student reasoning. For example, do the students knowwhat “engineering” is when asked if girls belong? Interest scores in science were lower than inother areas.

We invite futurestudies, esp. senior level classes to try out the flipped review process and add to the flippedclassroom literature.We also recommend instructors who plan to adopt the flipped review approach build a learningoutcome measurement that can be used consistently in the classroom-review and flipped-reviewclasses so that the differences in learning would be more visible.

Connections made via reflection play a role in thedevelopment and practice of self-regulated learning [19]. Zimmerman’s cyclical model of self-regulated learning includes a self-reflection phase that captures the appraisal of learningexperiences in the immediate or distant past (performances) and connects the interpretations andlessons to planning (forethought) for future learning experiences. These self-reflections includeself-judgements and self-reactions.
