. We also share a few surprisesfound in the data.Our main contributions are the analysis of the rich body of collected data, as well as distillinggroups of questions that have yielded particularly useful results, and categorizing those by targetoutcome: questions for evolving the course, for “reading” students’ moods, and for gettingstudents to reflect on their experiences. Many of these questions may be broadly applicable.The remainder of the paper is structured as follows. Section 2 elaborates on relevant aspects ofthe course structure and describes our mechanism for collecting feedback data. Section 3discusses what we have learned from our data analysis – first about the course, and then aboutthe process of doing student surveys. We

This property distinguishes it from other prior attempts atdeveloping sociotechnical-based assignments in the literature, which have primarily focused on asingle course-context.The process of writing and implementing the assignment followed by the authors’ reflection andanalysis required for this paper elucidated many findings that are relevant to other efforts tointegrate sociotechnical concepts into core engineering science and design courses. Specifically,we identified barriers to sociotechnical integration which include addressing the diverse needsand objectives of our courses, managing different instructor backgrounds and biases, usingappropriate terminology which avoids reinforcing the dualism we are trying to address

through the lens of“teaching-as-research.” We define “teaching-as-research” as “a deliberate, systematic,and reflective use of research methods to develop and implement teaching practices thatadvance the learning experiences and learning outcomes of students as well as teachers.”The graduate course is designed to promote the development of those skills and habits-of-mind, along with the knowledge base associated with high-quality teaching, learning, andassessment. Within the graduate course, students participate in a micro-course, aninnovative adaptation of the traditional micro-teaching experience. The uniquecomponents to our approach are both the teaching-as-research model and the authenticachievement model

In recruiting interview participants, we strategically oversampled for marginalizedracial/ethnic and gender identities to ensure diverse perspectives. During the interview process,we observed that student participants reflected on their strengths and connected them to theirwork in and beyond engineering courses, suggesting the potential of APPI to be used both as anasset-based pedagogical intervention and as a research method for collaborative sense-makingwith students about their experiences. We believe that students were able to better recognize andactivate their assets because of APPI’s roots in social constructivism, which enables participantsto engage in collective inquiry and dialogue

Itwas applied in 1997 to mathematical topics for analyzing combined math knowledge of a student in a specificsubject [1]. Action, process, object, and schema are the mental structures proposed as a part of the APOS theory tofollow developmental stages of the learners. The main goal of this theory is to observe and categorize mentalstructures through observations of learners’ mental mechanisms; it is important to understand the totality ofknowledge and its’ reflection in applications.In the relevant APOS literature, learners’ conceptual view of the function was studied in [3] by relying on
