Salomon writes of his disagreementwith Brown (above), and argues that the interaction between a human being and an intelligenttool (computer) results in a favorable “cognitive residue” (p.5) that does not result from theinteraction between a tool user and a non-intelligent tool (“situated”).7 The “cognitive residue”that results in these situations is that the use of intelligent tools may result in thinking skills beingtransferred to other dissimilar, or at least similar, situations (but the author notes that too littleresearch has been done in this area).Vygotsky’s notion that understanding is social in origin,8

At the conclusion of their HSE experiences, it is expected that the studentswill demonstrate proficiency in applied workforce skills, they will be more disposed to enterSTEM careers, and they will be prepared to undertake the training and education needed to enterthose careers.HSE is modeled after Michigan Technological University’s highly successful and nationallyacclaimed

First-year studentsare typically in a period of social and academic transition, during which they are more likelyto engage with new perspectives and unfamiliar peers. In contrast, third-year students mayhave already formed more stable social networks and academic identities, potentially limitingtheir openness to intercultural engagement. These findings suggest that interventions aimed atenhancing global competence may need to be tailored to students’ developmental stages.3.2.Results of STEM COIL modules (one purely STEM COIL and one STEM COIL with supplementary history components
