Adapting and Implementing Hierarchical Learning Ensembles: A New Pedagogy for Team-Building and Group Decision Making in Undergraduate Engineering and Science Education

跨学科（99）本项目通过使用分层学习集成（HLE）来建立全面的团队技能。团队模式是将基于问题的学习（PBL）应用于研究生、本科生和中学学生的多层团队，帮助学生学习如何在异质团队中发挥作用。通过分配给HLEs设计一种新型生物材料的任务，为学生进入工作场所做准备的协议正在制定中。HLE的经验以适当的方式使所有三个学术水平的参与者受益。该项目正在传播增加科学内容知识和教学法的产品，并让学生有机会体验如何在现代工作场所进行研究。

Interdisciplinary (99) This project is building comprehensive team skills via use of a Hierarchical Learning Ensemble (HLE). The team-model, an adaptation of Problem-Based-Learning (PBL) to a multi-level-team of graduate, undergraduate, and secondary-level students, aids the students learn how to function within heterogeneous teams. Protocols for preparing students to enter the workplace are being produced by assigning the HLEs the task of designing a novel biomaterial. The HLE experiences benefit all three academic levels of participants in appropriate ways. The project is disseminating products that increase science content knowledge, pedagogy, and allows students the opportunity to experience how research is done in the modern workplace.
