Active and constructive learning experiences engage the learner’s attention andrequire them to produce outputs containing new ideas [6], while collaborative learningexperiences involve students working in groups to achieve a common goal [7].Project-based learning is technically different from PBL, often requiring the solution of severalproblems and with a greater focus on the development of an end product instead of theknowledge acquired during the educational exercise [4]. However, the activity described in thisstudy possesses features of both project- and problem-based learning, and so will continue to bereferred to as PBL, hybridizing “project” and “problem” without further differentiating betweenthe two methods.One of the most common

content.This paper presents a structured design methodology, using standard design tools likecustomer needs analysis, Quality Function Deployment and quantitative decision making[13,15], for designing improved hands-on experiences. One notable innovation in thisdesign methodology is the use of pedagogical theories and learning style information inwhat would normally be the “analysis” phase of the design process. In particular, this“analysis” phase of design incorporates the learning style information as identified throughthe use of students’ Myers Briggs Type Indicator [16-19] and integrates pedagogicaltheories such as the Kolb cycle [20], Bloom’s taxonomy [21], inductive vs. deductivelearning [22,23] and scaffolding theory [24,25].

These can include passive (e.g., lecture) or active (e.g., student presentations); graded (e.g., homework) or non-graded (e.g., showing of a video); individual or team activities. 3. A matrix of objectives vs. activities has been generated. While such a matrix is extremely useful in course planning and development, helping to ensure a match between the outcomes and the activities, in this paper we will focus on its use in course and instructor evaluation. An illustrative example for a fictional technical communication course is given in Table 1, below which shows the course

Researchers have linked quality of reflections with student learningoutcomes [31]–[33] and indicated that with a higher quality of self-reflection, students performedbetter and were able to achieve better learning outcomes [34], [35]. SRL is also fostered with the use of collaborative team working [36], [37]. It allowsstudents to evolve with one another continually and foster a sense of community in the classroom[38]. The benefits of teamwork include motivating students to engage, staying focused on thetask, sharing their ideas, getting involved in the decision-making process [39], and learning thecompetencies better [40], [41].

While some of the causes may be situational (e.g. isolation,economic insecurity, family issues, etc.), others may be related to their developmental stage,especially the social limitations imposed on traditionally-aged (18-24 year old) college students[16]. Both disorders are associated with changing patterns of activity, such as more sleep, lessexercise, and decreasing engagement in social activities.
