Evaluation of desktop learning modules in civil engineering classrooms to promote inductive and interactive learning

Creator:: Buker, Kamilah E.
Abstract:: Students in undergraduate engineering programs typically do not synthesize content learned from disparate course work until the end of their final terms of college. As an example, in undergraduate civil engineering programs, transportation engineering concepts (e.g., geometric alignment, asphalt design procedures) and geotechnical engineering concepts (e.g., shear strength of soils,...

Uncovering the Complexity of STEM Faculty Perceptions About Successful Students, and Their Teaching Strategies that Support Them

Creator:: Lenhart, Cindy A., Bouwma-Gearhart, Jana, and Ewing, Benjamin
Abstract:: Multiple factors are known to influence student success in higher education. Barriers to postsecondary success for underrepresented STEM students are numerous and well documented. We detail an exploratory study of STEM faculty notions of successful students and the instructional practices they employ to cultivate student success. We use a conceptual...

STEM Faculty Instructional Data-Use Practices: Informing Teaching Practice and Students' Reflection On Students' Learning

Creator:: Lenhart, Cindy A. and Bouwma-Gearhart, Jana
Abstract:: This paper explores the affordances and constraints of STEM faculty members' instructional data-use practices and how they engage students (or not) in reflection around their own learning data. We found faculty used a wide variety of instructional data-use practices. We also found several constraints that influenced their instructional data-use practices,...

Variations of Mathematics in College Algebra Instruction : An Investigation Through the Lenses of Three Observation Protocols

Creator:: Gibbons, Claire J.
Abstract:: College Algebra is a prerequisite for calculus and is thus an important stepping stone in the careers of STEM-intending undergraduates. However, College Algebra has low pass rates across the United States, interrupting students’ pathways to success. To address this concern, a research-oriented university in the Northwest United States restructured its...

A comparison of three methods of teaching college chemistry

Creator:: Marcy, Douglas Eugene
Abstract:: Problem: To compare the effectiveness of three different methods of teaching chemistry at a community college. Procedure: Three classes of college chemistry were taught using the traditional lecture-discussion with a typical text, a lecture-discussion using a programed text, and an individualized self-paced method. The self-paced course was designed to allow...

The achievement effect of behavioral objectives in introductory psychology

Creator:: Hogan, James P.
Abstract:: Purpose of the Study: The purpose of this study was to.investigate the achievement effect of providing students in a college-level introductory psychology course with behavioral objectives. The non-experimental literature provides a rationale for student use of behavioral objectives (Bobbitt, 1918; Tyler, 1950; Taba, 1962; Gagne and Briggs, 1974; and Popham,...

Effects of selected mathematical computer games on achievement and attitude toward mathematics in university entry-level algebra

Creator:: Moore, Margaret L.
Abstract:: Two mathematical computer games, POE and EQUATIONS, were used to test the effects of games as learning aids in a university entry-level intermediate algebra course. Specifically, this study investigated whether use of these games would significantly increase student achievement in the course and improve student attitude toward mathematics. EQUATIONS is...
