The course instructorswere not present during the experiment, and all participants were at least 18 years old. We usedthe three sections of this course to create the three educational contexts of this study: one inwhich students watched a lecture punctuated with short active learning exercises (“mentally-active breaks”); one in which students watched a lecture punctuated with short sessions of lightphysical activity (“physically-active breaks”); and one in which

The sand-binder mixtures selected for this study demonstrate the capability of thedeveloped tester to deal with diverse combinations. The distinctive results obtained confirm thatthe tester is a valuable tool that can aid the foundry engineer in predicting the behavior of coreand mold material in thermo-mechanical applications, thus helping in dimensional control. It isour belief that this collaboration has been a successful one based on the interest in the prototypeTDT shown by foundry practitioners and binder manufacturers.IntroductionBecause of the

Most learning design templates and professionaldevelopment programs place a strong emphasis on the head and hands, but little on the heart [10].Professional education should move beyond teaching employable knowledge and skills and investin cultivating students’ emotional and affective tendencies--fundamental for developing character[11]. In order to create a learning environment that encourages students to develop their heart-related abilities, the character of the teacher needs to be addressed first.

Projections indicate that the U.S. economy willwitness an addition of approximately 1.4 million STEM-related jobs by the year 2030 [1].Notably, the median wage for STEM occupations is roughly double that of other professions inthe economy. Consequently, higher education institutions advocate for increased enrollment inSTEM programs. The increasing globalization of the workforce and the collaborative nature

, numerous micro-level studies havefocused on developing specific STEM-related skills. For instance, there’s a course titled“Catch the Wind: Design a Windmill,” aiming to equip students with the ability toharness wind energy through engineering design. It leverages physics knowledge aboutwind energy, material properties, windmill construction, and angular concepts to enablestudents to create devices powered by wind. This course targets not only competencybut also the cultivation of scientific values [18]. STEM literacy is distinguished fromsingular STEM literacy, because it highlights the skills and practices that are unique toeach particular discipline, and therefore not applicable in all the other disciplines [19].Often facilitated by digital
