The primary learning outcomes measured during thestudy were student attitudes towards the environment and their capacity for systems thinking.Students in two junior level undergraduate courses completed pre-post-surveys after experiencingone of three treatments: group one – played Preservation, and group two – played Preservationwith supporting lecture. Assessment focused on changes in student attitudes and overallunderstanding of system interactions. Initial findings suggest that the combination treatmentprovided the greatest change in systems thinking, however, no change occurred with respect toenvironmental attitudes. The results of this study will be used to direct the development ofsubsequent games and

In order to focus this work, weselected from this list two factors to study: self-efficacy on open-ended problems and ambiguitytolerance. Self-efficacy refers to the belief in one’s own ability to perform a certain task, and astudent who believes they can perform a task are more motivated to do so [9]. Self-efficacy canbe assessed as a general psychometric evaluation of “optimistic self-beliefs”, as with theGeneralized Self Efficacy Scale (GSES) [10]. A typical item in the GSES is “I can solve mostproblems if I invest the necessary effort,” to which the study participant would give a 4-pointLikert-scale response

The pre-to-postcomparisons of the groups of students taught using different methods showed equalimprovements in the spatial visualization of the students. The improvements in sketching abilityof the students in the modified perspective curricula were found to be significantly higher thanthe improvements experienced by students in the traditional curriculum.

The in-class problems used in term 2 were often shorter andnarrower in scope than those used in term 1 because the lecture-style room did not support givingstudents feedback as they worked through a longer problem, and hence it was difficult to keepstruggling students on track.The outside-class and assessment elements of the course had the same structure across the twoofferings.

ISU’s IMSE department had a CURE in their IE271course, it could perhaps mean an additional three female graduate students/year.Lessons LearnedLessons learned from this research undertaking include the following: 1. Implementing a CURE pedagogy is no small undertaking. It requires resources: funding for teaching/research assistants, funding for expendable supplies, faculty time to develop, faculty time to execute, and faculty and staff time to assess. 2. Making surveys easy to complete might increase the return rate – for the Spring 2019 semester electronic surveys were used rather than paper surveys. 3. Asking students to explain answers would allow better understanding of their responses. 4. Putting a plan in place for
