easy as possible. • Learning and teaching II, acquiring, compiling, and gathering knowledge: In this section of the individual learning career, the student actually applies the abstract knowledge and gathers his or her own experiences. In order to limit the action and reflection possibilities, the learner interacts within a somewhat restricted, artificial environment, which is reduced in complexity and easy to control by the teacher. To provide feedback, the learning environment is designed to include relevant devices where students can deposit their interim products and teachers can inspect them. The emphasis in this model lies on the learning process of the student. Teachers try to help the

For instance, he frequently minimizes or skips sections of theactivities that require whole group discussion, writing, or reflection; thus each activity runs about15 to 20 minutes under the suggested time. He infrequently emphasizes the activity’s purposewith the whole group (Table 4). His use of questioning strategies with the small groups appearsto support development of engineering habits of mind and sense making. The educator often usesquality pedagogical strategies that support youth, such as open-ended questioning (Table 4).Overall the educator facilitates a youth-directed experience

Their plans, actions, policymaking,reflections, and frustrations all aim to explore possible reactions to the challenges brought bythese dominant images. 1It is worth noting that the idea of dominant images is not an empirical concept. In other words,the dominant image active learning in American engineering education does not necessarily inferthat most American engineering schools and programs have adopted or developed active learningwell. Rather, dominant images often have normative value.

Critical thinking requires the use ofcertain skills and disposition to evaluate thoughts and ideas with the purpose of refining them [2,3]. Critical thinking involves an in depth evaluation of events, problems, ideas, and artifactsbefore accepting or framing a conclusion or opinion [4]. Engineers are trained to becomeproblem solvers and critical thinking is essential for problem solving. Many educators believethat critical thinking skills are important and should be promoted in schools and universities, butthey feel unequipped to teach those skills[5, 6].The purpose of this
