contest. Some flight characteristics that were tested were: (a) how far the planesflew, and (b) how long the planes stayed in the air. But, it was difficult to judge some of thesecharacteristics because the planes performance depended on which “pilots” tossed them. So, nextyear, the organizers of the paper airplane contest have decided that three “pilots” should fly eachplane, and that the same three pilots should fly all of the planes. The problem statement of thepaper airplane MEA asked students to write a letter to the judges of a paper airplane contest. Theletter needed to provide a procedure which would allow the judges to decide which airplane is:(a) the most accurate flier, and (b) the best floater. Teams of three to four students then

interviews withstudents. Interview questions varied, but always asked students a) what they worked on that dayand b) if they encountered any sticking points in their work. These interviews constitute the datafor this paper. Data collection spanned two and a half school years.Participants in the full study were 40 students who enrolled for at least some portion of theschool year. This group was racially diverse: 2.5% were Asian, 25% were Black, 17.5% wereLatino/a, 35% were White, and 20% were two or more races; 47.5% were girls, 47.5% wereboys, and 5% were gender non-conforming. Across this full group, our data corpus consists ofapproximately 600 short interviews. For this paper, we analyze a subset of this data corpus,namely the data for 9 students

The seed form was designed basedon teaching style, the students and their preparation, and the courses. The second iteration removedtwo questions and added thirteen leveraging our process for capturing sentiment. Since these factorsvary widely, our particular form may not be appropriate for other courses. Although the questionsare not solely limited to the field of engineering, they do reflect feedback from students in ourdiscipline. We do not believe there is a one-size-fits-all review form — it is a mistake to use onetuned to a specific course/discipline without going through the process of iteratively mining

In general, when any team comes together to solvea problem, they automatically inherit another problem: the management of cognitive diversitywithin that team. Kirton refers to these two problems as “Problem A” (the original problem thatbrought the team together) and “Problem B” (managing their individual differences),respectively19; successful teams spend more time on Problem A than Problem B, but this may beno easy feat!It is also important to note that some scholars (and many practitioners) have become particularlyenthralled with Innovation (“radical, breakthrough change”) in recent years, which

To accomplish the first purpose, weset the stage by describing characteristics of educational change interventions targeting formalpostsecondary education organizations. Next, we detail findings from a targeted literature reviewconcerning: (a) the nature of formal postsecondary education organizations upon which we grounded ourontological perspective of these organizations, and (b) literature on organizational change that

By looking at students’ design processes depicted intimelines, we can see whether a student tended to transition frequently between design activities(as was the case with Senior A) or spend large amounts of time in an activity (as was the casewith Senior B and Freshman A).

Simple questions asking students to list facts or identify among given choices will not be very valuable to achieving the goal.4. We recommend review videos to include the must-have features as students elected. In addition to giving control of how they want the video to be played, students should have access to the handouts used by the review video so that they can take their own notes. An example problem should be included at the end of the video to explain to students what they are expected to understand upon a successful review.References[1] B.
