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,...

Student Engagement : Exploring How and Why Students Engage In- and Out-of-Class

Creator:: Pascoe, Jason J.
Abstract:: Student engagement in a course plays a vital role in a student’s ability to process and construct knowledge. Student engagement research has investigated how students engage in and out of the classroom on a macro scale, through observation and survey data collection of large student populations, which lack focus on...

A comparison of assessment methods used by community college faculty in face-to-face and online courses

Creator:: Wamsley, Lori H.
Abstract:: Online learning has grown exponentially within higher education in the past decade, especially at community colleges. As online course offerings expand community colleges need to assess student learning in order to ensure quality learning experiences for students and for accreditation purposes. The purpose of this study was to compare the...

Effectiveness of an expert system for teaching casting defect diagnosis in engineering and technical education

Creator:: Ruyle, Kim E.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a significant difference in the amount of technical subject matter learned during a fixed period of instruction by students working with a computer expert system and students working with human experts from a technical field. All students participating in...

Development test suite for FPGA TekBot learning platform

Creator:: Lai, Gerald
Abstract:: As the Tekbots program expands into senior and graduate level classes at Oregon State University, so does the need arise for more complex learning platforms. These complex hardware platforms cannot be adequately tested in a manufacturing environment as we have done previously. Also, due to their complexity, these platforms require...

Models and Modeling in Capstone Physical and Virtual Laboratory Projects

Creator:: Nefcy, Erick J.
Abstract:: The research presented in this dissertation focuses on the model generation and modeling processes of student teams that participate in capstone, undergraduate engineering physical and virtual laboratory projects. The Heat Exchange Laboratory Project, the Ion Exchange Laboratory Project, and the Virtual Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Laboratory Project provide the context...

A practical implementation of self-efficacy theory to improve the engineering curriculum

Creator:: Plisch, Marjorie
Abstract:: What are the most effective ways to improve the engineering curriculum? Improvements should result in increased student retention, undergraduates who are more industry-ready and graduates who are better prepared to be leaders. Current research suggests that the best predictor of persistence is a person’s self-efficacy. The focus of this thesis...

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...
