Despite its promise, the impact of active learning can be limited due to the lack ofsocial learning resources, such as

. Figure 2. Most common student prediction of deflected shape. (a) (b) Figure 3. Actual deflected shape once instructor applies load to the model in the classroom. (a) If students predict right end will go down, instructor creates this situation. (b) If students predict right end will go up, instructor creates this situation.The instructor then introduces the concept of metacognition. Since their prediction didnot work out well, they should reflect on why they thought it was a good prediction.There was something they assumed or had previously experienced that suggested theirprediction; what was it? Why was their assumption poor, or why did their previousexperience not serve well in this
