Strategies for Effective Engagement (SEE)

塔斯基吉大学数学系和航空航天科学工程系将共同制定和实施“有效参与战略（SEE）”。该项目将解决学习科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）入门课程的学生在学业成绩和保留率方面的挑战。数学准备不足、作为第一代大学生、社会挑战和离家不熟悉的环境等因素对学生的动机、表现和保留率都有负面影响。SEE项目将解决这些问题，并通过实施翻转学习环境，将技术与教学相结合，以及在入门级数学和工程课程中实施结构化指导，提高学生的学习和学业成就。通过培养学生成为技术和科学劳动力，这符合国家利益。SEE的主要目标是通过整合积极的教学策略和技巧来提高学生的自我效能感、参与度和动机。翻转课堂将允许教授更有效地利用面对面的课堂时间，并让学生参与到动手主动学习的机会中。将实施利用技术和解决现实问题的创新教学方法。课堂互动将由数学和工程软件支持。一位在教学设计和真实评估方面具有专业知识的顾问将支持项目团队。教学方法的形成性和总结性评估将通过动机和自我调节学习的有效工具进行。该项目的智力价值将解决跨越数学和工程学科的主动教学如何在有意义的背景下培养深度和概念性学习。

The Departments of Mathematics and Aerospace Science Engineering at Tuskegee University will jointly develop and implement "Strategies for Effective Engagement (SEE)". This project will address the challenges of academic achievement and retention of students enrolled in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) entry-level courses. Factors such as under-preparation in math, being first generation college students, social challenges, and an unfamiliar environment away from home have a negative effect on student motivation, performance, and retention. The SEE project will address these issues and enhance the students' learning and academic success by implementing a flipped learning environment, integrating technology with instruction, and implementing structured mentoring in the entry level math and engineering courses. This serves the national interest by educating students for the technical and scientific workforce. The main objective of SEE is to enhance students' self-efficacy, engagement, and motivation by integrating active teaching strategies and techniques. The flipped classroom will allow professors to use face-to-face class time more effectively and engage students in hands-on active learning opportunities. Innovative teaching methods that utilize technology and real-world problem solving will be implemented. The classroom interactions will be supported by math and engineering software. A consultant, whose expertise is in instructional design and authentic assessments, will support the project team. Formative and summative assessments of the pedagogical approach will be carried out through validated instruments of motivation and self-regulated learning. The intellectual merit of the project will address how active instruction that spans the disciplines of math and engineering can foster deep and conceptual learning in a meaningful context.
