research experiences. Theseactivities include reading journal articles, running experiments, preparing materials forexperiments, writing up the results of their work, presenting research findings, repeatingexperiments, developing plans for data collection and analysis, and analyzing data. Some of theseactivities are epistemic practices because they are directed towards gaining knowledge orincreasing understanding. Through reflection, epistemic metacognitive skills (EMS), on theirresearch activities and social interactions, students build and refine their knowledge of howresearch works. This knowledge of how research works affects students’ existing and developingbeliefs and perceptions about what a researcher does and about knowledge and knowing

foundational experiences for all engineering students.Well-designed laboratory experiences can make engineering concepts come to life, givingstudents a real-world confirmation of the theory and concepts from lecture classes. Conversely,the effectiveness of hands-on learning can be reduced if there are inadequate levels of studentengagement and reflection [1] - [3]. Due to advances in portable data acquisition devices, laptopcomputers, and an array of affordable sensors, there is an unprecedented opportunity to bringhands-on experiments out of the centralized labs, and into lecture classrooms, and even studentdorm rooms. While such mobile hands-on experiments have had substantial inroads in the fieldsof electrical and computer engineering (ECE

First, we modeled the long-term effect ofour programming efforts on the percentage of females in the incoming residency class assumingthat we maintain our current level of programming indefinitely. We then adjusted selectparameters in the model to reflect “worst-case” assumptions for recruiting and retention inorthopaedic residency (see Table 2). This analysis is particularly important because our currentprogram evaluation data – on which the model parameters are based – reflect intermediaterecruitment and retention outcomes, e.g., intention to pursue orthopaedic surgery for high schoolparticipants rather than actual matriculation rates into residency.

Incontrast, feedback from students in project reflections and post-course conversations indicatedthat many students believed they had learned about thermodynamics from the project.Consequently, we determined that an additional year of testing with a revised assignment waswarranted.Revisions were driven by several observations of student behavior. Specifically, the teams offour students employed during the original design (i.e. Years 1-3) allowed them to specialize,and we often observed one or two team members being responsible for the video filming andediting, while the others specialized in the thermodynamics.

The evaluations asked students to consider their feelings about the mostrecent course meeting of their IDEAS course and of Course X as they responded to thequestions.

engaging science teachers in projects with substantive focus on reflection ontheir own teaching is important in helping to change their thinking about science teaching andlearning and to initiate the development of PCK. Furthermore, Nilsson16 found that teamteaching and videotaped lessons were two useful ways of promoting reflection of their teaching,and subsequently developing their PCK. Similarly, in a study investigating two components ofPCK: (i) knowledge of students’ understanding, conceptions and misconceptions of topics, and Page 26.16.3(ii) knowledge of strategies and representations for teaching particular topics, it was concludedthat

This allows students to think about their engineering topics from a differentperspective, which helps to improve their understanding of these concepts. Additionally, byusing music as a teaching tool, students are also exposed to topics from the art of music.Students completed a survey both before and after the experience in order to reflect on theirlearning.
