Unprecedented advancements, such as the advent of innovative gadgets and fundamental instructional alterations in engineering classrooms, have introduced changes in both teaching and learning. Student learning in introductory, fundamental engineerin...
متن کاملNovices' Progress in Introductory Programming Courses
This paper presents an approach for educators to evaluate student progress throughout a course, and not merely based on a final exam. We introduce progress reports and describe how these can be used as a tool to evaluate student learning and understanding during programming courses. Complemented with data from surveys and the exam, the progress reports can be used to build an overall picture of...
متن کاملStereotyped: Investigating Gender in Introductory Science Courses
Research in science education has documented achievement gaps between men and women in math and physics that may reflect, in part, a response to perceived stereotype threat. Research efforts to reduce achievement gaps by mediating the impact of stereotype threat have found success with a short values-affirmation writing exercise. In biology and biochemistry, however, little attention has been p...
متن کاملActive Learning in Introductory Geoscience courses
Introduction Most students in STEM disciplines have expressed concern about poor teaching specifically mentioning, dull courses, disengaged instructors, and unsupportive teaching strategies (Seymour and Hewitt, 1997; see also Tobias, 1990; Strenta and others, 1994). Seymour and Hewitt (1997) suggested that a thorough revision of teaching and learning in first year STEM courses would likely impr...
متن کاملSome Pitfalls in Introductory Programming Courses
This paper discusses some difficulties in teaching introductory courses to programming, paying particular attention to their mathematical nature. We consider some aspects, which have not been commented in detail in textbooks and often neglected by course outlines and schedules. Some of these are constructing complex conditions, exceeding array bound, calculating infinite series in conjunction w...
