networkPedagogical ApproachCollaborative learning through hands-on, inquiry-based activities is very important for K-12students. In the delivery of the camp program, we used collaborative learning and inquiry-basedstrategies. These strategies made not only hands-on activities more engaging but also initiatedpeer-to-peer learning by encouraging skilled students to help their teammates who were not asskilled as themselves. Hands-on activities were designed based on an inquiry-based frameworkdefined in our earlier work8-10. This framework is inspired by Kolb’s Experiential Learning Model.In addition to step-by-step instructions, each of the camp hands-on activities has three componentsto enhance student learning- Reflective Observation, Abstract

The complex andmultidisciplinary nature of these real-world problems is a driving force behind arguments forintegrated STEM approaches to teaching and learning in K-12 classrooms. Indeed, researchershave argued that integration across the STEM disciplines provide the best opportunity forstudents to experience authentic learning environments and that teaching without integration“does not reflect the natural interconnectedness of the four STEM components in the real

The project period is March 1, 2017 to February 29, 2020.  Regarding social cognitive biases, ISE-2 focused on two major components. Implicit bias consists of attitudes, beliefs, and stereotypes that we are not aware that we hold and, in turn, influence our actions in an unconscious and unaware manner. Implicit biases often reflect broader stereotypes and cultural narratives about groups and therefore behavior based in implicit biases seems correct

We know of only one otherprogram running their introductory course in this manner; Vanderbilt piloted theirmodular program in the same year [8]. The change from the single-class to the seminar model represented a significantinvestment of faculty time and university resources. In this paper, we reflect on fiveyears of accumulated first-year data and one year of graduate data to conclude that, yes,the seminar model is superior to the single course model in numerous ways, bothquantitative and qualitative.

This is high enough of a grade reward to motivate students to complete the assignments, but it is also low enough to avoid significantly raising the course grade. 8. We have chosen to keep the total homework percentage of the course grade at roughly the same as we did before implementing self grading. Thus, the instructor graded homework portion is roughly 5% less than it would have been before. 9. To aid the student in learning, both of us require students to do a metacognitive reflection on what he/she learned when
