Some education research has broadened fromsimply designing and evaluating interventions to studying implementation within the schoolsystem13, but applying systems techniques typically found in engineering is still unusual14.Design-Based Implementation Research (DBIR) is an emerging model for education innovationsthat attempts to address these complexities head-on by engaging many stakeholders, developingpartnerships at multiple levels, and using evidence to inform iterations with the goal of creatingscalable and sustainable innovations15, 16. It is the opinion of the authors that in the context ofDBIR, complex modeling techniques

Findings from this study, which are centered in the perspectives of students andtheir peer leaders, will deepen our understanding of the student experience in terms of the peermentor relationship.Shared student experiences, such as matriculation pathways, are a key dimension underinvestigation in the relationship between students and their PLs. In conversation with currentPLs, several themes emerged to better understand the dynamics of peer mentorship with theSchool and shape the preparation delivered in the Peer Leader Practicum—these focal areas arePL empowerment, knowledge holder self-identity, differentiated mentorship, PLs as educationalpartners, and challenges of mentee engagement. Study findings will inform modifications to

Comparison of impact reach of team dysfunction.The authors were heavily influenced by Lutz & Paretti’s [16] work, which explored theadjustment for engineers to a new learning environment. Their work expands on the differencesbetween classroom and workplace environments, as well as describes the important change fromformal and structured learning environments (i.e., classroom) to the informal and open learningsystems found in industry. More specifically, two key aspects of the Lutz & Paretti’s work wereadopted for this paper: adding real-time reflection, and allowing for emergent learning goals[14].The purpose of this paper is three

As additional database entries were reviewed, these working definitionswere continuously revised and adapted to reflect the organizations contained within eachcategory; in some cases, new categories were developed or organizations were re-categorized toreflect emerging trends in the data. In some cases, organizations could not be categorized basedon the ASA database information alone; for these groups, the “About” section of theirorganization website was used for classification.

Additionally, we aim to incorporate more modern case studies anddiverse role models into the curriculum.Furthermore, it’s important to note that the data presented here represents a snapshot of theperceived impact from a relatively small sample size of students exposed to historical figures andcase studies.
