The goal of this “ASCEND-Mindanao” private-public initiative was to increase learning opportunities for children and youth in some of the poorest municipalities and provinces in Mindanao—the southernmost island in the Republic of the Philippines. In particular, the project sought to enhance the curriculum and instructional materials for English, Math, and

patterns eventually emerge). Chi has proposed that conceptualmisunderstandings arise when students incorrectly think of emergent processes as having theattributes of the causal processes they see in everyday life. [6] (Causal processes involvedistinct, sequential, goal-oriented events that have an observable beginning and end). Therefore,students may view the observed structure or patterns emerging from a series of events such asBrownian molecular motion (the result of an emergent process) as actually being the result of acausal process. They often incorrectly describe molecules as moving with intent in a linear andsequential process that stops at some point. Thus, Chi’s theory explains why students persist intheir belief that molecules move with

Effectively teaching and mentoring students requires appreciationof their perspective. All InnoWorks presentations began with concrete sensory experiences, suchas things to see, hear, smell, touch, or taste. An interesting instance of “meta-learning” resulted,in which sensory-based learning was used to study the very senses emphasized in thiseducational theory.

Educational OutcomesThis categories-levels structure also provides a basis for integrating design across a curriculum,as required for accreditation of engineering degree programs (ABET, 1995). Design integrationfrequently means integrating learning from multiple instructors, degree programs, andinstitutions. This can be achieved more widely if design education outcomes rather than specificcourses become the basis for integration. This approach allows different institutions andinstructors to employ methods and courses that meet their needs while also ensuring that requirededucational outcomes are achieved.
