As wecontinue our investigation we will be exploring how this proficiency builds in learners as theygain more experience with the materials.DiscussionIn the first observation we see children’s progression of block building skills similar to earlierstudies done with building blocks. However, we also see learner’s employment of details ofphysical properties in their world to invent increasingly complex and interesting designs anddesigns that satisfy the governing properties of the world. That is, through years of play withblocks, Nick has developed an appreciation for how to move beyond a basic structure that meetsobvious constraints (a tower with a wide base) to more interesting shapes that display a

In academics, team-building scavenger hunts can be useful toacquaint students to one another and encourage healthy communication through an enjoyableactivity. Dyrud suggested that a scavenger hunt be used early in a course if the purpose is aimedat building teaming skills1. The process of participating in a scavenger hunt forces individuals tocommunicate their findings to others, encourages creativity, and provides an avenue for teamwork. Scavenger hunts can also be used to teach students or to assess their abilities. Hollar,Dahm, and Harris documented a scavenger hunt to teach lab safety within a short 15-minute timeperiod2. In this

students must becomerepresentative of the nation’s population. This call is especially pronounced in the field ofengineering.These representative numbers can only be realized through increased preparation of college-agestudents. Undergraduate engineering has become a test bed for pedagogy to increase studentinterest and abilities, reflecting the progress of cognitive development research in STEMlearning. Analysis of best practices can improve instruction at all levels, including K-12. Aboveall, an environment to nurture problem solving and innovation skills is imperative.Unfortunately, there are few K-12 settings for students to obtain real-world experience that mightattract them to STEM careers. To address this problem, the St Vrain Valley School

It was thought that these cadreswould aid their student members in coping with classroom and out-of-classroom situations. Byhaving these cadres come together and learn to support each other it was believed that the keyessence of peer to peer support would be provided and that it would be helpful beyond simplyacademic advising. The “zeroth” cadre within the program would be existing Native Americanstudents at NDSU who could act as liaisons with the TCU students as they progress through theirTCUs program and approached the transfer to NDSU.A key feature of the proposal was a 12 day summer camp held at NDSU with all the participantsof the PEEC program coming together for an

This study also reported on the inter-rater reliability of the web-based versionof the CAT and its discriminant validity. Results proved that the web-based version of theCAT is a valid and reliable means of measuring student’s creative outcomes.

This being our first attempt at such an endeavor, wedeveloped two camps of differing composition in order to obtain information based on a widerange of ages, knowledge levels and overall experiences for both campers and facilitators. Thiswas also done to obtain information and results to be used in the development of future camps.The first camp was composed of a mixed group (male and female) of 38 children representingK-8. The second camp was composed of 16 female high school students representing the 9-12grade group. Each camp consisted of four-hour sessions for five days and
