Analyzing The Structure Of Student Sustainability Knowledge Using Traditional And Holistic Concept Map Scoring Methods, Mary K. Watson, Joshua G. Pelkey, Caroline Noyes, Michael Rodgers
Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)
To properly initiate educational reforms needed to train sustainability-conscious engineers, methods are needed to assess conceptual understanding of sustainability. Concept maps (cmaps) have been proposed as useful tools for capturing the complexity and interconnectedness of sustainability; however, difficulties in scoring cmaps have limited their application as assessment tools. The goal of this project was to examine effectiveness of traditional and holistic cmap scoring approaches for characterizing student understanding of sustainability.
Cmaps were used to assess structure of student sustainability knowledge in a capstone design course and a graduate seminar in Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at Georgia Tech. Judges applying …

A Medley Of Successful Active-Learning Methods, Sarah Formica
Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)
This workshop will present a medley of active-learning methods that have been implemented successfully in both introductory and upper-level physics courses. The participants will engage in methods that include Just-in-Time Teaching (JiTT), clicker questions, whiteboard activities, and virtual experiments. The workshop will be designed very much like a class that employs these methods, with a pre-workshop online assignment that is due “Just in Time” before the workshop, and whiteboard activities and clicker questions associated with the active-learning methods. The participants will work in teams to develop some JiTT assignments, clicker questions, and whiteboard activities that they could use in their …

Student Success And Time Management In College Algebra, Steven Wallace, Mary Wolfe, June Jones, Gaston Brouwer
Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)
The panel will illustrate how the students’ completion of the instructional system ALEKS objectives correlates with student success and retention rates. The panel will also discuss the influence of factors such as time management on success and the promotion of good study practices for students using computer-based learning systems.

Preparing And Fostering Learner-Centered Faculty, Lydia Soleil, Donna Llewellyn
Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)
This session will describe two programs Georgia Tech has in place to help nurture STEM education leaders, one for graduate students and one for faculty. Both programs use the learner-centered teaching paradigm, backwards design as a framework, and peer learning communities. Alumni of the two programs will share their experience and benefits in a panel format. Facilitators invite analysis of program ideas for possible transfer to other contexts.
