Ian henriksen2
Ian Henriksen reflects on projects he worked on in 2010-2011. He asks questions to guide his work, finds the projects teach valuable skills, and sees others' perspectives differently. Evidence is important to demonstrate learning, and projects connect topics unexpectedly. Ian will try to remember his work more to improve outcomes and realizes he is smart, forgetful but dedicated as a learner.
Impact of STEM and PBL on Student Learning
STEM and PBL programs engage students in solving real-world problems using hands-on learning and collaborative group work. Students learn critical thinking, problem solving, and how to explain their reasoning. They also explore career possibilities and have fun learning in an active environment that challenges them to think outside the box and learn from failure.

This document discusses plans to revise information literacy courses to focus more on problem solving and real-world application. Key changes include replacing textbooks with projects solving low-stakes problems, focusing less on the library, and emphasizing careers. The core research process and evaluating sources will remain. The course revisions will be completed by January with training in winter and launch in spring.
Keys to Better Problem Solving
The document provides guidance on problem solving techniques, with an emphasis on identifying the root cause rather than just fixing the problem. It outlines 8 keys to better problem solving, including keeping analyses simple, focusing on performance differences rather than possible causes, thoroughly documenting all steps, and maintaining discipline. The document then provides a specific methodology for problem solving, beginning with defining whether the problem is new or long-standing, writing a general and defined problem statement, considering any recent changes, establishing performance metrics for evaluation, and writing a final problem statement incorporating the metrics and comparison strategy.
Katerina clark ppt123
Katerina Clark worked on a cell phone policy project in school that explored questions around the school's cell phone rules. The project was valuable to her because she has a cell phone and wanted to use it in school. Through working on the project, she realized that she likes working on projects she finds interesting, that group work has benefits and challenges, and that she is uncomfortable public speaking. The project gave her a new perspective by showing that student input can influence policy decisions and by exposing her to other viewpoints on the cell phone issue.

Ielts general-training-writing-task-2
This document provides teaching materials for familiarizing IELTS test takers with writing Task 2 questions. It includes activities to analyze sample questions, brainstorm ideas and structure responses. For the first sample question about caring for old people, the procedure has students work individually and in groups to generate ideas on both sides of the issue. They arrange these ideas logically then complete a worksheet practicing this type of discursive writing. A second sample question on children's leisure time is then used to repeat similar brainstorming and outlining steps. Worksheets provide guidance on common structures for organizing disagree/agree responses. The goal is to help students understand what is required for IELTS Task 2 writing and to practice key components like outlining arguments

This study aims to determine if allowing students to complete homework online will increase homework completion rates. The researcher, an 8th grade science teacher, will assign homework either online or using worksheets to four classes. Homework completion rates and quiz scores will be compared between the two formats. The hypothesis is that online homework will have higher completion rates. Potential benefits include improved grades, but there are no risks to students. Parental consent will be obtained. Data will be stored on the school server and may inform administrative decisions.
Nourse%20ppt%20nourse[1]
The document discusses a study that investigated whether allowing middle school students to complete their weekly science homework online would increase homework completion rates compared to traditional paper-based homework. The study found that overall homework completion rates unexpectedly decreased when an online option was provided. While students who chose the online format had higher completion rates and test scores than those using paper, whole class completion rates and average test scores were lower during the online period compared to before. The results suggest that simply providing a digital option for homework does not increase student motivation to complete assignments.

It discusses various methods of technology-enhanced assessment including e-portfolios, peer assessment, MCQs, and self-assessment. It provides advice on how to design effective feedback and the importance of supporting students to act on feedback. Key messages emphasize that pedagogy is more important than technology, automated marking can be reliable, and staff development is essential.
TESTA, HEIR Conference Keynote (September 2014)
This document discusses myths about assessment and feedback that were explored through the TESTA project over five years. The TESTA project aimed to provide evidence-based research and drive changes to assessment practices across several university programmes. The document discusses five common myths, including that modular designs always lead to coherent programmes, assessment is mainly about grading, formative assessment is difficult to do, feedback is only written comments from lecturers, and that students will engage in good learning practices without scaffolding. For each myth, the document provides evidence from student surveys and programme audits that challenge the myths. It also outlines changes implemented by TESTA to improve assessment and feedback practices.

This study compared student performance, satisfaction, and time investment in a traditional introductory statistics course versus a hybrid online/in-person version. Students in both courses performed similarly on pre-, post-, and final exams, with equivalent learning gains. While most students in the traditional class cited the textbook as their primary learning source, most in the hybrid cited the online course materials. Students in the hybrid course reported slightly lower satisfaction than those in the traditional version. Both students and instructors invested comparable time across the two formats, though instructors spent more initial time developing the hybrid course. Overall, the hybrid format was as effective as the traditional approach but with slightly lower student satisfaction.

Reflection on Action Research
James Rockford
James Rockford is an elementary teacher in a rural school district in Oregon. James is responsible primarily for teaching music andcomputer keyboarding skills to young children and initially became involved with action research as part of a statewide actionresearch initiative. As a result of his first attempt at doing action research and his effort to make it a standard part of his teaching,James has also worked as a mentor for other teachers in his region. James’s story highlights the importance of collecting data froma variety of sources to fully understand the effects of an intervention on student outcomes.
It seemed to be a perfect match. I had charge of a new computer lab and a mandate to develop a program of instruction to match thecurriculum guide, and I needed a “problem” for a collaborative action research class.
The only software that came with the computers was a popular program to teach keyboarding and ClarisWorks. It didn’t make any sense tospend several thousand dollars to teach keyboarding, so the problem became, “How does keyboarding instruction enhance students’ abilityto use word processing, database, spreadsheet, and draw functions?”
Looking at the literature proved to be a formidable problem because there wasn’t a good academic library in the area. The local communitycollege had one online computer to access ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center) through the World Wide Web if I gave searchterms to the librarian. A little help came, but I preferred to do the search myself. Our school was not yet online, so I resorted to using myson’s computer. A quick survey of the literature showed plenty of research on keyboarding but not much focused on young children.Opinions ranged from “Start them as early as possible” to “Avoid bad habits” to “Don’t bother because they can hunt and peck as fast asthey can type.”
The problem proved to be a little overwhelming in that I had just started an instructional program to teach all the keyboarding skills, and itbecame obvious that results would be harder to get for database, spreadsheet, and draw functions. As a result, I decided to look initiallyonly at the effect of teaching keyboarding on word processing for students in grades 4 through 6.
This was supposed to be a collaborative venture, so my first task was to enlist the help of the teachers in grades 4 ...

Scholarly journals are the primary means by which college professors, especially scientists, communicate and share their research findings. Journals are physically formatted like magazines but differ in important ways. They are peer-reviewed, with content decided by experts in the field rather than advertisers. Articles provide in-depth analyses for specialized academic audiences. Readers access journals digitally through university libraries or databases. Authors are typically not paid, contributing for prestige and to disseminate their work, while journals rely on subscriptions not advertising for funding.
