SGER: Development and Validation of a Model For Team-Based Learning in Engineering

这是一个探索性研究（SGER）的小额补助金，以探索基于团队的效果对本科阶段学习工程的影响。 这项工作将分两个主要阶段进行。 第一阶段包括开发，验证和测试一个新的学生评估协议，以团队为基础的学习工程。 第二阶段包括开发和使用评估团队行为的观察协议，该协议将用于完善提案中提供的团队设计模型。 有几个命题已经提出了哪些因素影响的结果，小组学习的经验。这项工作将在内布拉斯加大学林肯分校、宾夕法尼亚州立大学进行，学生们将参加全国大学生发明者和创新者联盟（NCIIA）的电子团队。 该团队代表了工程和教育心理学方面的专业知识。

This is a Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) to explore the effects of team-based effects on learning engineering at the undergraduate level. The work will be undertaken in two main phases. The first phase includes the development, validation, and testing of a new student assessment protocol for team-based learning in engineering. The second phase includes the development and use of an observation protocol in assessing team behaviors, which will be used in refining the model of team design offered in the proposal. Several propositions have been put forth as to what factors affect the outcomes of group learning experiences. The work will take place at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Pennsylvania State University, and with students participating in electronic teams as part of the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance (NCIIA). The team represents expertise in engineering and educational psychology.
