now more commonly considered as a process wherestudents become active learners and teachers become facilitators who help them to constructtheir own knowledge and skills (Barr & Tagg, 1995; Decorte, 1996; Nicol, 1997, 2006). InPhysics Education Research (PER), active-engagement strategies have been widely adopted andhave shown to be one of the most successful methods of improving students’ learningexperience. These researches have been focused on student-centered learning such as inquirybased learning, peer-instructions as well as developing and implementing innovative learningmaterials inside classrooms.

While there is certainly a place for good lectures in effective teaching,faculty need to involve students in discussions, team-based activities, laboratory experiences,peer-led learning, and hands-on participation to maximize learning outcomes.While the Kolb Experiential learning model is a good standard for experience-based learning, itis difficult for instructors to implement without further explanation. With more research havingbeen done on experiential learning, several elements of implementation stand out: 1. Leadership education should be implemented early on in an academic career – Early implementation gives more time for students to develop the leadership skills desired. Because the

Now we are seeking new methods that are consistent with the RGP.Feature-based representationsThis method comprises traditional sketches where the designer stops after blocking out the mainfeatures and adds additional description by writing a text description of the feature. Theprinciple here is: do not transmit information that the recipient does not need in order to act(make a decision). The first corollary is: always include everything that is necessary to make thedecision either graphically or in text. The second corollary is: the purpose of a feature

Service-learning thus challenges students to apply their learning, to evaluate their owneffectiveness and that of the individuals and organizations with whom they work, and to setpersonal development goals. It requires that they interact with a diverse range of people otherthan their instructors and fellow students and that they take on often unfamiliar and high-responsibility level roles. It gives them opportunities to work in teams, to write, to present topublic as well as academic audiences, to make connections between their studies and the rest oftheir lives, and to develop their critical thinking abilities.

For example, the homework scores also reflect knowledge of the subject, mathematical accuracy, and help from peers. Other factors from the study environment to the attitude of the teacher impact problem solving success, but they were not considered. The focus here is on a single factor (persistence, quantified by time) and its relationship to problem solving success. Clearly, more data is needed to make any definitive conclusions, but the data presented here suggest, at most, a weak correlation between persistence and problem solving success. 2.
