The current study was conducted with twosections of the STEPS course on the female campus of the PI known as Arzanah.Research suggests that same-gender teams (all-male or all-female) perceive themselves asmore effective than heterogeneous teams (Baugh & Graen, 1997). In classroomsituations, it appears that both genders value the importance of teamwork, but morefemale students want to be able to choose their own team members (Alexander & Stone,1997). As task interdependence is a factor in effective teamwork (Ramamoorthy & Flood,2004), it is possible that homogenous teams offer a greater degree of comfort

Will they need to collaborate with others in small or large groups? Will studentsneed to listen, maintain their attention for long periods of time, or take extensive notes?Application of the Theory:Students often need to be shown how to learn in class, how to work effectively in a group,how to engage in a discussion or debate, how to take notes, or even how to ask questions.Do not simply assume students know how to learn in your class.Doyle concludes that after asking these seven questions, you will find yourself

One of the value-added features that this project will focus on in thefuture are: improving the efficiency of generating movie files during the capturing operation.Currently files are somewhat large and have an occasional dropped frame due to machine speedvariations.

They also suggest that additional analysis is needed todetermine the salient factors which influence student responses to in-class demonstrations.While the evidence continues to mount that in-class demonstrations are a highly effective meansof improving student learning retention and that demonstrations are increasingly used in a widearray of STEM related undergraduate courses, more investigations are needed concerning theeffectiveness of various demonstration designs
