项目摘要
Developing students' understanding of fundamental concepts is a primary goal of undergraduate engineering education. Innovations such as concept questions, model-eliciting activities, and inquiry-based instruction have consistently been found to be more effective for promoting conceptual change. However, these innovative approaches were designed with educational effectiveness as the foremost (or only) concern. Considerably less research has been devoted to understanding how to design these activities to increase their adoption by engineering faculty. The primary challenge facing engineering reform today is not primarily to develop more effective instructional strategies but to find ways to get faculty to adopt instructional techniques that we already know to be more effective than the traditional methods still found in the majority of undergraduate engineering classrooms. This project addresses that challenge by identifying methods of developing instructional modules that are simultaneously effective for student learning gains and faculty adoptability. This project is developing instructional materials for heat transfer, an important foundational course for chemical, mechanical and other engineering majors. It is combining the research on student learning of fundamental concepts with research on adoption and change to develop materials that professors are more likely to actually use in their classes. The materials are being evaluated for "usability" by a panel of professors at different types of institutions who work with a diverse range of engineering student populations. Ongoing evaluation of the project is monitoring the most frequently downloaded activities and relating this information to factors that promote faculty adoption. The literature on diffusion of innovation into the college classroom identifies several factors that inhibit adoption of new approaches. These include faculty concerns about (1) preparation time, (2) class time, (3) effectiveness, (4) student resistance, (5) inflexible teaching environments and (6) inability to adapt innovations to suit their needs. There is therefore a need to develop approaches that minimize these identified barriers so that effective practices are more widely adopted and consequently provide broad impact. The findings of this project will inform future efforts to promote faculty adoption of new instructional practices in other STEM areas.
培养学生对基本概念的理解是本科工程教育的主要目标。创新,如概念问题,模型诱导活动,并以探究为基础的教学一直被认为是更有效的促进概念的变化。然而,这些创新方法的设计是以教育效果为首要(或唯一)关切。相当少的研究一直致力于了解如何设计这些活动,以增加他们通过工程学院。今天工程改革面临的主要挑战主要不是开发更有效的教学策略,而是找到方法让教师采用我们已经知道比传统方法更有效的教学技术,仍然发现在大多数本科工程教室。本项目通过确定开发教学模块的方法来应对这一挑战,这些模块对学生的学习收益和教师的适应性都是有效的。 本课题是针对化工、机械等工科专业的重要基础课程传热学教材的开发。它将对学生学习基本概念的研究与对采用和变化的研究相结合,以开发教授更有可能在课堂上实际使用的材料。 这些材料正在由不同类型机构的教授组成的小组进行“可用性”评估,他们与各种各样的工程专业学生群体合作。对该项目的持续评估正在监测最常下载的活动,并将这些信息与促进教师采用的因素联系起来。关于创新扩散到大学课堂的文献确定了几个抑制采用新方法的因素。 这些问题包括教师对(1)准备时间,(2)上课时间,(3)有效性,(4)学生阻力,(5)不灵活的教学环境和(6)无法适应创新,以满足他们的需求。 因此,有必要制定办法,尽量减少这些已查明的障碍,以便更广泛地采用有效的做法,从而产生广泛的影响。该项目的调查结果将为未来的努力提供信息,以促进教师在其他STEM领域采用新的教学实践。
