) cycle. Similarly, the process of improving faculty teaching competences can be explainedby following a PDCA cycle. The outcome-based program accreditation ABET led to theconsolidation of this improvement process in the School of Engineering and at the departmentallevel. Two academic departments participated in this consolidation effort, the Information andTelecommunication Technologies Department (ICT) and the Industrial Engineering Department(IND), which consists of 13 and 12 full-time faculty members, respectively.The faculty member reflection is as important as the students’ reflection that extends over timeafter the courses have ended [2]. This reflection process is critical to course assessment andimprovement in the quality of engineering

They will be willing to changewhen they entertain the possibility of increasing classroom interactions and decrease teachercontrol while achieving the course objectives and improving learning outcomes. In this scenario,the Continuous Faculty Development Program and the Workshop on Active Learning inEngineering at the School of Engineering are designed to provide tools that allow the teacher toincorporate active learning methodologies in their teaching under the following assumptions: i. Active learning strategies are central to professional development in engineering [1], [5

Similarto end-of-term student course evaluations, peer observation data can play a critical role inproviding faculty with feedback on their teaching methods, communication, active learningtechniques, and student engagement. Furthermore, observation data can provide a basis forinformed critical self-reflection that may prompt positive changes not only at the instructor levelbut also at departmental, college and institutional levels (Smith, Jones, Gilbert, & Wieman(2013

]. MBTI is the most widely used personality assessment tooland has been validated by many researchers [22] [23]. Even so, some psychologists havecriticized the instrument for the lack of convincing validity [24] [25]. The framework proposes using these instruments along with a reflective instrument basedon self-assessment and peer validation. As a part of the reflective instrument, faculty memberswrite around 15 activities they are good at, and around 15 activities they really enjoy. Then, theyselect colleagues who know them the best and seek their suggestions. The frameworkrecommends selecting at least a few colleagues, whose views are incompatible with their views.The faculty members then update the lists based on colleagues’ feedbacks

This approach recognizesthe capabilities and valuable input of research subjects, undermining the traditional hierarchybetween researcher and subject; it incorporates collaboration into research design andmethodology [7]. As in a fruitful partnership, participatory action research works to create clearcommunication about goals and outcomes, and proceeds reflectively. Besides being a specificethical approach to social science research, participatory action research is especially suited tothe study context: the RED teams are comprised of individuals who are disciplinary experts inengineering and computer science fields, in social science, and in education research, allconducting their

Participants were also asked to write a design memo as amechanism to reflect on the change they made and to share their teaching efforts more broadly soothers could learn about the strategy. The memo described the strategy the instructorimplemented, their motivation for selecting it, how they implemented it in their course, andpotential challenges others might face in implementation.Groups were very flexible in terms of structure but were designed to

engineering educationA multitude of factors can influence student engagement and retention in engineering programs,such as students’ background and preparation, attitudes, behaviors, self-efficacy, motivation, andlearning strategies [2, 9]. As such, universities across the world are implementing initiatives thatseek to transform engineering education in order to increase student engagement and reducedropout rates from courses and programs [10-12]. These initiatives demonstrate that studentengagement is a multidimensional construct that needs to be approached through a holisticperspective that transcends the presentation of content in the classroom [13]. Instructors canappeal to students’ personal interests, offer opportunities for self-reflection, or

ObjectivesThe overall learning goal for the DLCs is to increase adoption of research-based teachingpractices. The team felt it was important to encourage DLCs to explore different types ofteaching practices. The team used three core ideas defined by the CIRTL community to guidethe development of the learning objectives, which will encourage facilitators to work with theirparticipants to identify different types of teaching practices. The core ideas that drive CIRTLprogramming are the following.  Learning-through-diversity  Learning communities  Teaching-as-researchThe six learning objectives reflect not only a commitment to teaching research-based practices,but modeling them.

This process of developing and sustaining collaborations between the CTL,department chairs, faculty members, administration, and other units in efforts to improve studentretention in STEM courses is grounded in educational change strategies and motivation theory.Using as starting points the four types of change strategies (disseminating curriculum andpedagogy, enacting policy, developing reflective teachers, and developing a shared vision) [6-7]and expectancy-value theory of motivation [8], the Center for Excellence in Teaching andLearning (CETL) at USI is leveraging its networks and programs to intentionally initiate andfacilitate

meaningful data for faculty to reflect on, they are generallyused by administrators to inform personnel decisions. It is therefore critical that researchersunderstand how to make faculty interaction with evaluation data more useful—especiallyconsidering their susceptibility to bias along lines of privilege and oppression. Moreover, mostresearch in this space has investigated the use and perceptions of existing evaluation measureswith relatively less focus on suggestions for new data. That is, fewer studies have askedengineering faculty to imagine new data, information, or stakeholders that might help themimprove. Such a process would be able to leverage human-centered design principles to developa more valid, meaningful approach to faculty

So as opposed to the past [initiatives], we haven’t had that….Characteristics relating to the people and dynamics working on the project included autonomy andcommunity. The theme of autonomy is related to the theme of flexibility. Many respondents likedthat the modules were there if they wanted them and that the department did not force them on theinstructors.

In an activity, participants are asked toselect one or two principles and discuss how they would implement them in the classroom aswell as discuss challenges associated with the seven principles: 1) encourage interaction betweenstudents and faculty, 2) develop engagement and cooperation among students, 3) encouragestudent reflection during active learning, 4) give prompt feedback, 5) effectively managestudent’s time on task, 6) communicate
