students, as well as tothemselves. Furthermore, it shows that some of the REU students started to reflect about theeffectiveness of their “teaching” and of ways to further improve the benefit to other students inthe future.Given that the outreach activity took place close to the end of the school year, efforts to get thealready time-strapped elementary school teachers to complete a survey were unsuccessful.However, email feedback from the teachers indicated that they were very happy with theactivities as they saw their students engaged and excited about engineering and hands-onactivities. Efforts will be made in the future to obtain additional assessment data to gage theimpact on the K-5 students.All and all, this was a positive experience for all

IntroductionAlthough there are many standardized questionnaires used to assess students’ self-regulatorybehavior and motivation to learn, the MSLQ is one of the more widely used in general educationresearch [1, 2, 3]. The MSLQ is a self-report instrument specifically designed to assess students'motivational orientations and their use of different learning strategies. . By focusing on the rolesof both motivation and cognition during learning, the MSLQ reflects the research on self-regulated learning, which emphasizes the interface between motivation and cognition [4, 5].Prior research using the MSLQ has found relationships between constructs on its motivationalsubscales such as: intrinsic goals, extrinsic goals, task value, control of learning beliefs, self

To that end, the instructor began the semester with a reflective exercisethat asked students to read Robert Leamson’s (2002) essay “Learning (Your First Job),”comment online about their impressions of the article, and be prepared to discuss in class. Thereflective comments from students regarding this essay were revealing: “These are all things thatwere not explicitly obvious to me as a student and I would have very much liked to have readthis as a freshman.” This piece is especially important as we believe it made an importantdifference in students’ capacity to persevere in this class.The difference in DFW outcomes between the two engineering courses for this

At the beginning of each class, the instructor poses each ofthe Conceptual Questions from the pre-work assessment to the class, takes a “vote” on it, andthen leads a discussion on the different answers and approaches. These discussions encouragestudents to reflect on the reasoning behind their misconceptions and how it relates to thereasoning behind the actual solutions. Namely, the students and the instructor discuss why some(incorrect) answers appeared attractive and seemed right, and ultimately what is (or should be)the reasoning behind choosing the one correct answer. However, these interactive discussions are rather brief, taking just a very small portion of the class, to enable the other components ofinstruction

The results from only the Spring 2016 semester shows thatdividing the course material and assessing the students by three Midterms instead of twoMidterms helped to reach the study objective.

It is important to note that in this paper we use the termkinesthetic learning or hands-on activities to mean a physical activity that is meant to teach aconcept and develop a deeper understanding of the material, not just the performance of a skill orobservation of a phenomenon.The scope of this paper focuses on the conceptual

identity are allowed to naturally separate themselves in this picture of theexperiences of the individuals. For example, students may be traditionally identified as comingfrom one or more underrepresented groups in engineering and, hence, assumed (wrongly) tohave some “different” attitudes about engineering, without attention to the diversity within suchgroups. Instead, the TDA approach allows for the “normative” or popular attitudinal clusters tobe first identified in the data, and then traditionally underrepresented individuals will appearwithin these attitudinal clusters in a way that is faithful to each individual's response (e.g., atraditionally underrepresented student who reflects dominant attitudes towards engineering willappear in that

concepts inNewtonian mechanics.Acceleration is a concept of crucial importance, which is connected to velocity and force inkinematics and dynamics, respectively. However, this concept is rarely used directly in everydaylife, and there is a lack of vocabulary to describe it. In the specifications of automobiles,acceleration is not listed directly; instead, it is described in the acceleration time from 0 to 60mph. This example reflects the definition of acceleration, which connects the two relatedparameters: the change of velocity and the time interval. With the unit converted, students canfind the acceleration easily from the provided time interval.The concepts of centripetal acceleration and force are a little challenging for most students

studied innovative teaching methodology inthe past forty years. Though, the definition of experiential learning has changed quite some overthe years, the main motivation stayed the same since was first defined by Dewey (1971):“thestudent learns by doing”. Therefore, if the students are immersed in an environment where theyare mentored to reflect, collaborate, and assess (Qualters, 2010), learning may then become alifelong process. According to Kolb and Kolb (2005), experiential theory allows students toapproach learning as a holistic process of adapting to the world. Hence, they, not only comprehendinformation more effectively, but also take active roles in creating further knowledge throughsynergistic interactions with their environment.One
