,PBL is open-ended and contextualized, and student learning is driven by the problem itself.Research shows that compared to traditional lecture-based instruction, PBL improves students’understanding and retention of ideas, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, motivation andlearning engagement, and the ability to adapt learning to new situations – skills deemed criticalto lifelong learning9 - 15.With PBL, students learn the process of learning in addition to course content by engaging in asystematic and reflective process that begins with problem analysis, whereby small teams ofstudents work collaboratively to dissect a problem, identifying what is known, what needs to belearned, situational constraints that might apply, and other

Thisallowance provides the opportunity to develop a curriculum with a breadth of topics and a depthof analysis that are often missing in other schools’ curricula. Almost no topic in the growingliterature on engineering ethics is left unaddressed. Among the advantages of this arrangementis the availability of ample time for introduction and discussion of case studies, both micro-levelcases focusing on individual moral dilemmas, and macro-level cases that focus and reflect onthe social and ecological impact of technology. The breadth of topics and depth of analysisprovided are consistent with the “conventional criteria

On the other hand,the OOP students showed a better performance and disposition towards command lineprogramming, but this could have been influenced by acquired experiences both prior andexternal with using such tools.1. IntroductionDeveloping ways to effectively teach early computer science (CS) majors how to program hasbeen an important topic of interest for some time. When addressing student learning in earlyprogramming courses, there have been a variety of elements researched and observed, notableones being: 1) the type of paradigms that are ideal for introducing students to programming [1],[2], [3], [4], 2) the

Recent work has identified the need to better integratenontechnical knowledge into engineering education as a way of reflecting the complex social andpolitical landscapes that structure engineering practice (Reddy, Kleine, Parsons, & Nieusma2023). Here we explore using a framework for “engineering as conflict” as a compelling practiceof sociotechnical integration at the undergraduate level.

McNiff promotes the action researchmethod for use by individual educators to improve their own practice in teaching as a regularcycle of self-reflection and course appraisal.17 Consequently, the stages of action researchcycle – observation, review, plan and activate – involved lecturer observation and reflection,coupled with a combination informal feedback, and the more formal formative andsummative student appraisal.Project GoalThe project goal was to design and assess a curriculum relevant to an

This development includeshelping students progress in their epistemological assumptions, described by King and Kitcheneras being three primary phases:13 ● Pre-reflective thinking: do not acknowledge or perceive that knowledge is uncertain. Do not understand that some real problems have no absolutely correct answer. ● Quasi-reflective thinking: recognize that some problems are ill structured and that some issues are problematic. Do not understand how evidence leads to conclusions - have difficulty drawing reasoned conclusions ● Reflective thinking - knowledge must be actively constructed and understood in relation to
