Computer Self-Efficacy, Cognitive Actions, And Metacognitive Strategies Of High School Students While Engaged In Interactive Learning Modules, Harry Budi Santoso
Computer Self-Efficacy, Cognitive Actions, And Metacognitive Strategies Of High School Students While Engaged In Interactive Learning Modules, Harry Budi Santoso
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The purpose of this research was to investigate high school students’ computer self-efficacy, cognitive actions, and metacognitive strategies in a self-regulated learning (SRL) framework while utilizing an interactive learning module. The researcher hypothesized that computer self-efficacy is correlated positively with cognitive actions and metacognitive strategies while the students are engaged with interactive learning modules. This research used a mixed-methods approach to answer the research questions. Two research questions guided this research: (1) How is students’ computer self-efficacy related to cognitive actions and metacognitive strategies while using interactive learning modules?; and (2) How do students plan monitor their cognitive actions, and …
Longitudinal Growth Of Vex Robotic Competitions In Utah And The Rocky Mountain Region, Trevor P. Robinson
Longitudinal Growth Of Vex Robotic Competitions In Utah And The Rocky Mountain Region, Trevor P. Robinson
Utah Space Grant Consortium
The Utah State University VEX Robotics Team (USUVRT) is in its fifth year of promoting the VEX Robotics Competition in the Utah and Rocky Mountain Region. The Robotics Education and Competition Foundation (RECF) annually hosts the VEX World Championships to identify and award the best middle school, high school, and college robotics teams. The USUVRT has partnered with the Rocky Mountain NASA Space Grant Consortium to promote science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) activities via VEX Robotics to middle and high school students in the Utah and Rocky Mountain Region. This paper discusses the outreach methods qualifying system used by …
Development Of Standards, Objectives, And Curriculum Guide To Teach Basic Electronics For Utah Science Credit In Secondary School Education, Rick Pierce
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
Recently, the Utah State Office of Education (USOE) has accepted Basic Electronics, Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) code 47.0105, as an elective to fill the required third science credit for secondary education (grades 10-12) students. The current Utah state core standards and objectives used for curriculum development in the Basic Electronics classes are now inadequate, as they are more than 15 years old, and designed specifically for students pursuing a technical career path. A formatting change to the document was implemented in 2008, but the standards and objectives were not changed.
Students are subsequently being taught the fundamentals of technology …
A Controlled Study Of The Flipped Classroom With Numerical Methods For Engineers, Jacob L. Bishop
A Controlled Study Of The Flipped Classroom With Numerical Methods For Engineers, Jacob L. Bishop
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Recent advances in technology and new ways of using it have led to new possibilities for education research. Increasing tuition costs and free, online course offerings are two influences that have led researchers to re-consider the wisdom of conventional teaching methods and to consider alternatives. The flipped classroom is a new teaching method, which uses video lectures and practice problems as homework, while group-based problem-solving activities are used in the classroom. It combines aspects of two learning theories once thought to be incompatible—constructivism and behaviorism. Active, problem-based learning activities are based on the theories of constructivism, and direct instructional (video) …
Pattern Of Task Interpretation And Self-Regulated Learning Strategies Of High School Students And College Freshmen During An Engineering Design Project, Oenardi Lawanto, Deborah Butler, Sylvie Cartier, Harry B. Santoso, Wade H. Goodridge, Kevin N. Lawanto, David Clark
Pattern Of Task Interpretation And Self-Regulated Learning Strategies Of High School Students And College Freshmen During An Engineering Design Project, Oenardi Lawanto, Deborah Butler, Sylvie Cartier, Harry B. Santoso, Wade H. Goodridge, Kevin N. Lawanto, David Clark

The objective of this exploratory study was to describe patterns in self-regulated learning (SRL) for secondary school and college freshmen while engaged in a design activity. The main research question guiding the study was: In what ways did secondary and first year college students differ in addressing an engineering design project? Specific focus was given by exploring how these two groups of students compared in their (1) task interpretation in relation to reported strategy use during the design process; and (2) task interpretation in relation to reported strategy use in project management. Students at one high school in the state …
Task Interpretation, Cognitive, And Metacognitive Strategies Of Higher And Lower Performers In An Engineering Design Project: An Exploratory Study Of College Freshmen, Oenardi Lawanto, Deborah Butler, Sylvie Cartier, Harry B. Santoso, Wade H. Goodridge
Task Interpretation, Cognitive, And Metacognitive Strategies Of Higher And Lower Performers In An Engineering Design Project: An Exploratory Study Of College Freshmen, Oenardi Lawanto, Deborah Butler, Sylvie Cartier, Harry B. Santoso, Wade H. Goodridge

This paper examines the task interpretation and strategy use of higher- and lower-performing college freshmen while engaged in an engineering design project using a self-regulated learning (SRL) framework. Our goals were to consider how students’ interpretation of task demands could be associated with their use of planning, cognitive, and monitoring/fix-up strategies, both as part of the design process and when managing their time, resources and teamwork. The main research question that guided the study was: In what ways did higher- vs. lower-performing students differ when engaged in an engineering design project? With regards to this question, we specifically explored how …
