Assessing the Impact of New Teaching Methods by Predicting Student PerformanceAbstractMany teachers try new things in the classroom with the intent of making learning more effective.In most cases, assessment of the impact is anecdotal; the teacher surveys the students about thenew technique and draws conclusions based on their feedback. In order to more definitivelyprove the impact, better assessment tools are needed. In a recent study, the authors attempted topredict performance in a course and then measure the improvement due to a major change in theavailable resources for study outside the classroom in our fundamentals of engineering course.To measure the effectiveness, we used the GPA of the students at the start of the semester

The challenge is how are schools beingprepared to attract students to such programs and are the students excited about the curriculum.This study examines the impact of PLTW courses at the middle through high school level.Survey results from 208 instructors who

Promoting Critical Thinking during Problem Solving: Assessing Solution Credibility Charles E. Baukal University of Tulsa and Oral Roberts UniversityAbstractEngineering students are considered novices while their instructors are experts in a given field.One of the goals of engineering education is to move students closer to being experts. Engineersare problem solvers by nature and an important skill to be learned is the ability to assess thecredibility of solutions. Engineering educators can help students improve this ability bymodeling solution assessment in the classroom by predicting, where possible, what the solutionshould look like before

test usage in engineering courses. Tests and exams are typically heavily usedin FECs like statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, and other courses in various engineeringdisciplines. Understanding why engineering instructors heavily rely on tests to assess studentlearning in these courses can be crucial in promoting the use of more diverse types ofassessments, such as portfolios, concept inventory, reflection-based practices, project-basedpractices, and intentionality in terms of designing, administering, and interpreting tests, butresearch has been scarce on documenting research on this topic. Conversations around why instructors make certain course decisions typically involve thecontexts these instructors are situated in, emphasizing how

In her rich picture, some students were confused and needed help, others understood, and onewas distracted. In her verbal description of her image, Claire emphasized a divide between thestudents who “got it” and those who did not. This perspective reflects her efficacy beliefs orbeliefs about her and other students’ abilities to meet the course expectations based on theassigned tasks and assessments [23].

We used graded assignments and exams to assess thestudents' performance on flipped modules versus their performance on modules taught usingtraditional lecturing. We statistically compare students' performance in the flipped modules tothose in the non-flipped modules. This quantitative comparison enabled us to evaluate flippedinstruction's potential impact on student learning within each course offering. Also, we studied thestudents' perspectives on flipped learning and the activities conducted during class time throughonline surveys. Content analysis was used to qualitatively measure the students' perspective onflipped learning.The various
