incorporated in this workshopdesign: guided-inquiry, concept mapping and reflective storytelling.Guided-inquiry based learning. Guided inquiry based learning, or sometimes referred to asscaffolded inquiry, is a powerful and effective model of learning[26]. In inquiry learning, theteacher facilitates learning by posing questions, and students learn content by collaborativelyengaging in authentic investigations and constructing arguments. This is founded inconstructivist theories of learning that stress that learners be engaged in constructing their ownknowledge.Concept Mapping. Concept maps are graphical tools for organizing and representing knowledge.This pedagogical tool is established on the discovery learning process as that of a toddler, wherean

(Figure 2: Survey QuestionsSource). The research team structured the questions around the themes that arose from theexisting research on STEM and the Arts, organizing them into five scales – organized inquiry,individual inquiry, adult mentoring, peer mentoring, and common design process experiences inArts and STEM disciplines. To track the alignment of the survey with the research questions, wemapped each survey question to our research question (Figure 3: Concept Map). Material, Sampling Procedures, & Participants We distributed the survey during a 30-day period to all freshman, sophomore, junior, andsenior students at a mid-sized, four-year, religiously-affiliated private institution in the Midwest.Two reminder emails were sent
