Cooperative Learning • Positive interdependence: must do their part • Individual accountability: must do their share & master all concepts • Face-to-face promotive interaction: challenge, encourage, teach others • Use collaborative skills: trust bldg., leadership, decision-making, conflict management • Group processing: assess goals & teamwork

Kolb’s Experiential Learning Model Concrete Experience Reflective Observation Active Experimentation Abstract Conceptualization Kolb, D. Experiential Learning. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall, 1984.
1) Kolb’s Affective EnvironmentConcrete Events (CE) • Environment: • Attitudes toward field • Learner/Information: • Here & now - feelings, opinions • Teachers: • Listen, counsel, personalized & immediate feedback
2) Kolb’s Perceptual EnvironmentReflective Observation (RO) • Environment: • Understand concepts/relationships • Learner/Information: • How or why; try out new thoughts on subject • Discipline-based standards to evaluate • Teachers: • Direct, bound discussions
3) Kolb’s Symbolic EnvironmentAbstract Conceptualization (AC) • Environment: • Master concept to solve problems • Information/Learner: • There & then; objective data • Communicate w/ special terms, rules, protocols, memory recall • Teachers: • Knowledge interpreter; guides formulation & correctness w.r.t. objective criteria from axioms
4) Kolb’s Behavior EnvironmentActive Experimentation (AE) • Environment: • Apply knowledge to professional solutions • Information/Learner: • Plan presentation to finish a task • Act & judge w/ professional criteria • Teachers: • Coach w/ experiential advice • Let learners be responsible for outcome
Kolb’s CyclesProject I - Fluid Mechanics e.g. Reynolds’ Experiment
Kolb’s Cycle IProject I - Fluid Mechanics • Tying Equipment to Concepts • 1) see: valve, pipe, syringe, dye, tubing • 2) reflect: can study flow behavior • 3) theorize: fast & slow flow represent regimes • 4) act: set valve, observe flows
Kolb’s Cycle IIProject I - Fluid Mechanics • Tying Equipment to Concepts • 1) see: streams - slow flow; mixing - fast flow • 2) reflect: slow - layers; fast - change direction 3) theorize: slow - surface drag; fast - mechanical energy losses • 4) act: test pressure loss vs flow regime
Kolb’s Cycle IIIProject I - Fluid Mechanics • Tying Equipment to Concepts • 1) see: pressure change • 2) reflect: relate to regime • 3) theorize: fast = (v)2; slow = v • 4) act: use relations in fluid transport set-up
Course Assessment by ChE Faculty Visitor Former ChE Chair, Textbook Author • Aspects which aided student learning: • Students quick to experiment and try things • Student lectures to other students effective • format seemed to get more of students involved • Recommendations for improvements: • Could use a little more guidance from instructor • Need a feedback mechanism so students realize how much they are learning
