Best Practices--Outcomes Participants will be able to: • Identify several “best practices” in engineering education. • Apply “best practices” in the design of their courses. • Apply learning style theory in the design of course material • Define the differences between active, collaborative, cooperative and problem based learning. Engineering Engineering Education
Your Turn First • Jot down a quick list of the “best teaching practices” you can think of. (1 minute) • Turn to a neighbor and compare your lists. (2 minutes) • Be ready to share your thoughts with the group. Engineering Engineering Education

Outcomes(aka Behavioral Objectives) • Should be given to students. • Should be: • Specific • Attainable • Measurable • Linked to a performance time frame • Should state the conditions of performance. • Should be used to develop assessment measures. Engineering Engineering Education
6. Evaluation Judge, select, critique, justify, optimize 4. Analysis Classify, predict, model, derive interpret 2. Comprehension Explain, paraphrase 3. Application Calculate, solve, determine, apply 1. Knowledge List, recite Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Outcomes (Cognitive Domain) 5. Synthesis Propose, create, invent, design, improve Words Not to Use: Understand, Learn, Know, Comprehend, Appreciate
Why Write Objectives? • Identify critical course material • organize presentation • allot appropriate time per topic • Identify & delete extraneous course material • Facilitate construction of in-class activities, out-of-class assignments, and tests • assure comprehensive coverage • exercise all Bloom levels
Provide a study guide for students • Tell faculty colleagues what they can expect students who pass this course to know • teachers of follow-on courses • new instructors • curriculum planning committees • accreditation coordinators

The “Why?” Engineering Engineering Education
Why Learn Learning Styles? • In your color groups - Determine who got up earliest today. Engineering Engineering Education
Why Learn Learning Styles? • In your color groups - Determine who got up earliest today. • The person to their right will be the Note-Taker for the group. Engineering Engineering Education
Why Learn Learning Styles? • In your color groups - Determine who got up earliest today. • The person to their right will be the Note-Taker for the group. • Note-Taker will record all responses that are brainstormed by the group. • Take 2 minutes for this. Engineering Engineering Education
Why Learning Styles are Important • Make the learning process more discussable • Provides a context for addressing the instructor—student impedance mismatch that all too often exists • Helps students’ understanding their own learning processes • Others Engineering Engineering Education
Kolb and Learning Styles - The “What?” Engineering Engineering Education
2 Main Elements of Learning • Perceiving new information -- How we take things in • Processing new information -- How we make things a part of us Engineering Engineering Education
Perceiving Information Feeling (Intuitive) Thinking (Sensing) Engineering Engineering Education
Processing Information Doing (Active) Watching (Reflective) Engineering Engineering Education
Kolb and Learning Styles Feeling Doing Watching Thinking Engineering Engineering Education
Kolb and Learning Styles Concrete Experience (CE) Quadrant 4 Quadrant 1 Reflective Observation (RO) Active Experimentation (AE) Quadrant 3 Quadrant 2 Abstract Conceptualization (AC) Engineering Engineering Education
Kolb and Learning Styles • Four learning styles • 2 for perception • 2 for processing • Only dealing with the preferred methods of perceiving and processing Engineering Engineering Education

The Results Engineering Engineering Education
The Results Engineering Engineering Education
Type 1 Learners • STRENGTH: Innovation and imagination; they are the idea people • GOALS: Self involvement in important issues, bringing unity to diversity • FAVORITE QUESTION: Why? • PRIMARY CONCERN: Personal meaning Engineering Engineering Education
Integrate experience with self Listen and share ideas View ideas from many perspectives Work for harmony Be personally involved Be innovative Clarify values Timed tests, pop quizzes No student interaction Insensitive teachers Individual work Skill development Lack of thinking time Coverage rather than depth Colorless environments Type 1 Learners Like to .... Dislike .... Engineering Engineering Education
Type 2 Learners • STRENGTH: Creating concepts and models • GOALS: Self-satisfaction and intellectual recognition • FAVORITE QUESTION: What? • PRIMARY CONCERN: Information Engineering Engineering Education
Integrate observations into what is known Seek continuity Know what experts think Think through ideas Think linearly Work with detail Critique information and collect data Information out of sequence Multiple authorities Pass/fail grading Criticisms Group projects Disorganization Unknown expectations Type 2 Learners Like to .... Dislike .... Engineering Engineering Education
Type 3 Learners • STRENGTH: Practical application of ideas • GOALS: To bring view of the present into line with future security • FAVORITE QUESTION: How? (How does it work?) • PRIMARY CONCERN: Need to try things for themselves Engineering Engineering Education
Integrate theory and practice Test theories and apply common sense Solve "down-to-earth” problems Think strategically Use skills Know how things work Reading from books Memorization Confined nature of lectures Lack of application Restricted environments Group work Lack of hands-on work Labs that don't work Written assignments Type 3 Learners Like to .... Dislike .... Engineering Engineering Education
Type 4 Learners • STRENGTH: Action, carrying out plans • GOALS: To make things happen, to bring people to action • FAVORITE QUESTION: What if? (What can this become?) • PRIMARY CONCERN: Need to adapt to their own life situations to make more of what they learn Engineering Engineering Education
Integrate experience and application Learn by trial and error Discover new ideas by themselves Get excited by new things Adapt to new situations Reach good conclusions by intuition Take risks Long lectures Teacher-oriented classrooms Standard routines Repetition and drill Assignments without options Knowledge for its own sake Type 4 Learners Like to .... Dislike .... Engineering Engineering Education

The Kolb Cycle as a Model for Teaching – The “How?” Engineering Engineering Education
The Kolb Cycle • Immediate experience (CE) creates a need for learning, which • transfers to reflective observation (RO) of the experience, which • is followed by the introduction of concepts (AC) to integrate the immediate experience into what is known, after which • testing is induced (AE), which • results in new experiences, so the cycle repeats.
