Text accompanying this graph would have to explain the reasoning behind these projections, expecially the large increase projected for School B. 4. Arrows indicate which direction is “good”. In the example graph, “good” is upwards; in a graph showing a negative trait such as absenteeism or drop-out rates, “good” would be downwards. 5. Appropriate comparisons are shown clearly. In this graph, three schools in a school district are compared with each other, with the district as a whole, with a comparable school district, and with national trends.This last point emphasizes the importance of
problem couldpartly be solved by allowing students to choose their own teammate, but this may have adverseeffects on the learning of students who do not enter the class knowing a study partner. In ongoing work, we plan to study (a) the quality of interactivity of students conductinghomework this way, (b) the possible benefits to students who enter the course with lower priorknowledge, and (c) conduct repeated measures using the same homework assignments but with anew cohort of students. As a part of this study, we have asked students to record themselves doing the homeworktogether so that we can assess the quality of their interactions. Although we tried to avoid bias bymaking it clear to students that their self-recorded video would have
the spotlight since the advent of the Next Generation ScienceStandards, which includes a focus on engineering practices and engineering-specific standards.Locally, our state added pre-kindergarten to our NGSS-aligned standards. The new expectationsfor learning engineering has put pressure on teachers to include engineering as part of theircurricula. Teaching engineering involves a different way of approaching curricula than whatmany teachers are used to, with its focus on open-ended, multi-answer problems. Few to nopreschool teachers have a background in engineering, yet many believe engineering is importantto teach young children. The four preschool teachers in this study had a beginning knowledge ofand positive attitudes toward teaching
fundamental nature, content, and build a working prototype. They were required to test their design, identify weaknesses, and content and practices of engineering and determine how to address those weaknesses. The institute did not address explicitly practices promote literacy of engineering engineering careers or the interaction of society with the development and use of design. technological solutions. Facilitators modeled pedagogical practices for supporting learning in engineering design. B. Pedagogical These practices included the use of

The goal, in part, isto create tools and procedures that minimize task assignment bias by having teams assign tasksand goals based on individual team member’s assets and/or areas in which that team memberwants to build upon or grow. See a sample student asset map and a sample team asset chartbelow. In the sections that follow, we discuss both the benefits and limitations of asset mappingfor minimizing task assignment bias and for creating more equitable team dynamics.Figure 1: Sample Student Asset Map Team Asset ChartSkill and Content Areas in B Term Team Member’s Relevant Assets

” students as those who either increased by 10 points or morebetween Exam 1 and Exam 3 or maintained a “B” or above across the semester. This category of“good” students accounted for about 39% of the total population in Fall 2017 (98 of the 252 totalin Fall 2017). Within this 39% of “good” students, three-quarters were more likely than werestudents not categorized as “good” to maintain their MMAI scores throughout the course, withan average variation of just one unit (out of 60) increase or decrease between pre- and post-surveys. This suggests that “good” students might come in with an established awareness ofmetacognitive practices for learning.As we move forward, we will continue to examine our results more deeply, assessing resultsfrom the

Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Successes and challenges in supporting undergraduate peer educators to notice and respond to equity considerations within design teamsAbstractWe describe and analyze our efforts to support Learning Assistants (LAs)—undergraduate peereducators who simultaneously take a 3-credit pedagogy course—in fostering equitable teamdynamics and collaboration within a project-based engineering design course. Tonso andothers have shown that (a) inequities can “live” in mundane interactions such as those amongstudents within design teams and (b) those inequities both reflect and (re)produce broadercultural patterns and narratives (e.g. Wolfe & Powell, 2009; Tonso, 1996, 2006a, 2006b;McLoughlin, 2005).
