Students werethen instructed to video record their joint motions using their laptop cameras. A custom videotracking algorithm specifically designed to track spatial locations was then employed to capturerelative positions of the recorded motions. Laboratory instructions asked the students to performkinematic calculations on the algorithm’s generated positional data to determine joint velocitiesand accelerations, and then perform kinetic analyses to estimate the associated muscle forces.Laboratory requirements were concluded with a reflection prompt to evaluate the

Asreported previously [7], in collaboration with faculty in the humanities department, the designproject for a first-year mechanical engineering course was altered to incorporate an explorationof themes from the novel. The students were required to read/listen to the text and to extractthemes that would then be incorporated into a robotic display. The students were led through theprocess with periodic “reflections” that they were to write after completing a certain portion ofthe text. Once a theme was

We also did not collect informationon whether they had any exposure to or training in the design process before enrolling in thecourse.We measured how students engaged with the design process through self-reported reflections. Inthese reflections, students identified which of the nine steps in the design process that they did,what order they did them in, and how much time they spent on each step.

This is critical to understanding and promoting LA development, but has been relativelyoverlooked to date. We define epistemology as the beliefs, ideas, and conceptions one has aboutthe justification, nature, and source of knowledge. Within the Learning Assistant program, thereare many avenues for participating LAs to reflect on and potentially rearrange their epistemology.To analyze LA epistemological development, we turn to Baxter Magolda’s EpistemologicalReflection Model, which describes student epistemological stances for the role of learners, peers,and instructors. In this paper, we adapt the model to account for the unique role of LAs

]. Humans’ beliefs are at the core oftheir agency which includes self-regulated behaviors that allow an individual to take thenecessary actions to yield desired outcomes [14]. These agentic behaviors include intentionalityand forethought which help guide the plans for action, as well as self-reactiveness and self-reflection which allows for one to persevere through challenges and self-examine their progress[13]. Acknowledging that an individual’s sense of agency leads them to actively regulate theirown experiences emphasizes the significance of exploring teacher agency and pedagogicalbeliefs.Below is the overarching research question that informed the methodology, and is situated in thetheoretical underpinnings of social cognitive theory [12], [13

We further see the positive potential of such reflection during internship experiencesif it occurs in a nurturing environment that supports ethical development.The potential of a pedagogical approach that includes reflection coupled with an internshipexperience is supported by the literature that indicates that case study analysis, reflectivejournaling, and subsequent reflective discourse can indeed impact beliefs and identity development[10-11].

Making a claimto be better sets up several conditions on the claimant – to identify what needs to be improvedand why; to craft a credible plan explaining why the situation will be improved in some specificway; and that any change will not have unpredicted negative consequences, particularly forgroups

Theircharacter education model is broken into five components: teaching about character; displayingcharacter; demanding character; apprenticeship; and reflecting on character [18]. This modelsupports a pedagogical approach which provides a foundation of understanding througheducation, provides mentorship and setting of conduct standards and adds reflection as animportant component which allows the student to assess their behavior and potentially adjust.As pragmatic as this approach might be, there are very few postsecondary institutions that try toreach this level of character education.

Oneof the concerns in using PBL is that students themselves often find it difficult to assimilateold knowledge with new, which limits their ability to develop engineering judgement, eventhough as educators we recognise the importance of this assimilation. The concept ofapplying old knowledge and understanding to new situations and thereby creating newknowledge and understanding can also serve as the defining aspect of PBL, so long asstudents are given adequate instruction and scope to experiment with their ideas [8]. Studentswould require confidence in tackling a problem in addition to having acquired a broadconceptual understanding of the problem. In PBL
