Bad Idea, suggests that educators should bemore focused on the learning process rather than strictly on the teaching process. Toooften we follow a primitive but intuitive teaching model such as: “You go to school, asmart person tells you something, and you are expected to learn it and remember it, and ifyou don’t, you are stupid.”According to this model, teaching is telling, and learning is bulimic. Some 70 years ofresearch shows that telling, in the form of lecturing, is just as good for transmittinginformation as, but no better than, reading a book, listening to a tape, or watching a film.The same research shows that within weeks and months, students retain only 10 percentof that information. Even then, they can rarely apply it to the messy

The Construction Advancement Institute at the University of New Mexico was created to advance the state-of-the-practice in the construction industry in New Mexico, the USA and internationally. The CAI will advance the industry through education, service, and applied research. Education will include programs of study leading to certification, associate degrees, bachelor’s degrees, and graduate degrees so that individuals from all levels in the construction industry can choose and follow a career path aided by the appropriate coursework. The CAI is responsive to the needs of students, industry, and the citizens of New Mexico through a unique education-industry partnership unlike any other

In the ‘old-style’ programs it was important to include the right courses to be preparedfor the university of choice after graduation. In 1998 the so-called ‘tweede fase’ (second phase)was introduced to the upper three grades of the VWO. The changes to the upper three gradesconcerned both changes in course content and teaching-philosophy; with classic in-class lecturesreplaced by a combination of in-class lectures and group-oriented projects, independent research,computer-based information acquisition, etc. [7].

This study also explored relevant examples ofgamified implementations in education in other subjects, such as math, physics, andprogramming. From this, the similarities and differences between power system education andthe external subjects are explored, and a research agenda to apply gamification to power systemseducation is developed.IntroductionPower engineering is the oldest electrical engineering subdiscipline [1] and it is key enablingtechnology for all other engineering disciplines (without power, there is no computer science,etc.).

However, traditional circuit education has largely relied ontheoretical instruction, often failing to accommodate the cognitive and motor skill levels of earlyelementary students. Conventional circuit components are typically small, requiring fine motorprecision, and their abstract nature can make it difficult for young learners to form a tangibleunderstanding of electrical principles. Research suggests that young children
