项目摘要

This project aims to serve the national interest by improving student learning outcomes in engineering education using technical poetry writing as an active learning experience. Communication is the exchange of information and ideas and plays a critical role in STEM teaching and learning. While educational materials help an instructor communicate content knowledge to students, assessment tools help students communicate their understanding of the content knowledge to instructors. In today’s information rich environment, new approaches are needed to help students make sense of this information. Technical poetry writing can provide an active learning exercise so that students can synthesize information from various sources and make meaning of the content for themselves by constructing poems that are technically accurate. This project will provide students with instruction on how to write and analyze poems with technical engineering content. It is expected that these writing and analysis activities will increase students’ imaginative capacities, deepen their conceptual understanding of the technical content, and develop their communication skills. An instructor training workshop will be developed and offered to STEM faculty at the University of Florida and to engineering instructors at engineering education related national conferences. The workshop will broadly disseminate the potential benefits of using poetry based activities to enhance student learning and provide training on how to incorporate these activities in upper-level technical courses.The overall goal of the project is to develop a comprehensive framework for the use of poetry as a mechanism for improving student learning in undergraduate engineering education. The specific project objectives are to: (1) create poetry-based in-class activities as well as homework assignments and evaluate the impact of such activities and assignments on student learning; (2) develop poetry-based supplemental teaching materials and evaluate their effectiveness on student learning; and (3) develop a training workshop to help guide other instructors to incorporate poetry-based activities into other engineering courses as an engaging instructional strategy. Poetry writing as a learning tool is grounded in the constructivist learning theory, which supports the need for active learning experiences. The guiding research questions are: Does poetry writing improve students’ conceptual understanding of the technical material? How do students experience the utilization of their imaginative capacities, the enrichment of their conceptual understanding of the technical concept, and the development of their communication skills by writing poetry on technical content? This project is expected to generate new data and insights as to how poetry writing and poetry analysis can be used to enhance students’ conceptual understanding of technical material. In addition to employing standardized quizzes to assess technical knowledge, student learning will be assessed through new analysis methods developed to measure the richness of technical content, the accuracy of technical content, and the level of cognitive process demonstrated in student-written poems. Further, a deeper understanding of how and why poetry writing helps to impact student learning will be gleaned from a phenomenological analysis of student self-reflection data. The NSF IUSE: EHR Program supports research and development projects to improve the effectiveness of STEM education for all students. Through the Engaged Student Learning track, the program supports the creation, exploration, and implementation of promising practices and tools.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目旨在通过使用技术诗歌写作作为积极的学习体验来提高学生在工程教育中的学习成果，从而为国家利益服务。沟通是信息和思想的交流，在STEM教学和学习中起着至关重要的作用。虽然教育材料帮助教师向学生传达内容知识，但评估工具帮助学生向教师传达他们对内容知识的理解。在当今信息丰富的环境中，需要新的方法来帮助学生理解这些信息。技术诗歌写作可以提供一个积极的学习练习，使学生可以综合各种来源的信息，并通过构建技术准确的诗歌为自己的内容的意义。这个项目将为学生提供如何写作和分析技术工程内容的诗歌的指导。预计这些写作和分析活动将提高学生的想象力，加深他们对技术内容的概念理解，并发展他们的沟通技巧。将为佛罗里达大学的STEM教师和工程教育相关国家会议的工程教师开发并提供一个教师培训讲习班。该研讨会将广泛传播使用诗歌为基础的活动，以提高学生的学习和提供培训，如何将这些活动纳入高层次的技术courses.The项目的总体目标是开发一个全面的框架，使用诗歌作为一种机制，提高学生的学习本科工程教育的潜在好处。具体目标是：（1）创设以诗歌为主题的课堂活动和作业，并评估这些活动和作业对学生学习的影响;（2）开发以诗歌为主题的补充教材，并评估其对学生学习的影响;以及（3）开发一个培训讲习班，以帮助指导其他教师将诗歌-作为一种吸引人的教学策略。诗歌写作作为一种学习工具是基于建构主义学习理论，支持需要积极的学习经验。指导性的研究问题是：诗歌写作是否提高了学生对技术材料的概念理解？学生如何体验他们的想象力的利用，他们的技术概念的概念理解的丰富，和他们的沟通技巧的发展，通过写诗歌的技术内容？这个项目预计将产生新的数据和见解，如何诗歌写作和诗歌分析可以用来提高学生的技术材料的概念理解。除了采用标准化的测验来评估技术知识，学生的学习将通过新的分析方法进行评估，以衡量技术内容的丰富性，技术内容的准确性，以及学生写诗中表现出的认知过程的水平。此外，如何以及为什么诗歌写作有助于影响学生的学习将从学生自我反思数据的现象学分析收集更深入的理解。NSF IUSE：EHR计划支持研究和开发项目，以提高所有学生STEM教育的有效性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
