There were also concerns that the olderrubric required a great deal of time to evaluate models. Since only one person evaluated all of themodels, it was recommended that a study be conducted to evaluate the inter-rater reliability ofmultiple raters using the same rubric.

The module curriculum is delivered over 6 lectures and two3-hour laboratory periods. This paper describes the lectures, labs and out of class activities. Thepedagogical approach incorporates web-based teaching strategies including Just-in-TimeTeaching (JiTT), developed by physics instructors and used by many different disciplines. Aftercompleting assigned readings, the students take online quizzes that summarize these readings.The lecture period is used to clarify misconceptions that were discovered in the students’responses to the online quizzes as well as present new material

I also kept the same text that was being used to teach the Strength ofMaterials class to EN students, and reused this text with a revised set of learning objectives thefollowing semester in a Strength of Materials class for EN students.Because we are a new College of Engineering at Boise State (CM, CE and ME, which requireStrength of Materials and EE, which does not), our class sizes are small.

?AbstractThis study focuses on research questions concerning how a newly designed Four-Practiceinstructional model helps students learn in “flipped classrooms”. It examines in-classroomlearning and analyzes how group discussions influence student learning. Problem-centeredpedagogies employed in the new instructional model are found to engage students incollaborative dialogues during group discussions. Discussion discourse functions as a heuristicteaching and learning tool that supports students’ learning of content knowledge and skills inmeaningful ways. The pilot instructional model helps build a learning community that promotesthe development of cognitive abilities through joint efforts between the instructor and students.Introduction“Flipped
