AB  -              SPECIAL SESSION: Educational Methods and Tools to                      Encourage Conceptual LearningThe goal of this special session is to provide educators with an overview of specific educationalmethods and tools that they can bring back to the classroom to encourage their students to thinkdeeply about the concepts central to core chemical engineering and materials science courses.Presentations will focus on the use of concept inventories, peer instruction and conceptests,repair of misconceptions, and technology-based tools to facilitate active pedagogies. The sessionwill culminate in a panel discussion to address barriers to implementing these methods. Theintent of this session is to create a dialog amongst educators and develop the community ofinstructors interested in increasing engagement of their students in learning core concepts in theclassroom.This session will contain papers and provide a panel discussion on two uses of concept-basedquestions – one summative, one formative. With traditional instruction and testing methods,students are better rewarded by rote learning than by conceptual understanding. However,requiring students to solve problems by routine does not prepare them well to solve differenttypes of problems based on the same concepts. Two seminal works from the physics educationresearch community have dramatically reshaped how conceptual teaching and learning is viewedin college-level physics courses. First, through the Force Concept Inventory (FCI), Halloun andHestenes provided an instrument to measure students’ fundamental conceptual understanding ofNewtonian mechanics. Second, Eric Mazur published his book Peer Instruction, which describesthe use of ConcepTests to engage students in conceptual learning during lecture. Both criticallyrequire well crafted conceptual questions. There is interest in applying these methods toengineering education. For example, a search of ASEE conference proceedings over the past 15years shows 24 papers with a title including concept inventory or concept inventories and 17papers with peer instruction, clickers or response systems in the title. This special session willcombine speakers who have developed conceptual questions and applied them to ConceptInventories or to Peer Instruction. The objective of this special session is to develop a richerunderstanding of conceptual learning by comparing and contrasting these approaches.The following short presentations from panelists will precede the panel discussion:       1. Update on the Thermal and Transport Concept Inventory       2. Conceptests in Chemical Engineering Courses       3. The Use of Inquiry-Based Activities to Repair Student Misconceptions Related to          Heat, Energy and Temperature       4. Uncovering, Addressing and Assessing Misconceptions and Their Repair in a          Materials Course       5. Clickers and Beyond: Innovative uses of Technology to Promote Conceptual          Learning
