Abstracts - Room 121
All sessions take place in Butler-Carlton Hall on the Missouri S&T campus Presenters: EdTech Students; Missouri S&T Track(s): N/A Time, Date, and Location: 12:00 - 12:30 p.m., Thursday, March 17, BCH 121 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., Friday, March 18, BCH 121 (Encore Presentation) Each presenter will speak for no more than five minutes. This will provide the audience members with a brief overview of several programs that are intended to make our daily lives easier. The best part of this presentation...? All of these programs are absolutely FREE! ~ Putting the "You" in YouTube STANDARD SESSION (45-60 minutes) Presenter: Dr. Audra Merfeld-Langston - Interim Chair and Associate Professor of Arts, Language (French), & Philosophy; Missouri S&T Tags: blended learning, flipped classroom, YouTube, videos, personalizing course, course design Audience: K-12; Higher Education Time, Date, and Location: 1:00 - 2:00 p.m., Thursday, March 17, BCH 121 Incorporating YouTube activities into courses can be a great way to engage students outside of the classroom and to personalize students' experiences in blended and flipped courses. This presentation will focus on specific examples from a language course (French), but the concepts could be applied to courses in other disciplines. ~ Project Lead the Way (PLTW): Learning Through Virtual and Hands-on Experiences STANDARD SESSION (45-60 minutes) Presenter: Dr. Mandy Welch - Assistant Teaching Professor of Teacher Education; Missouri S&T Tags: STEM Audience: K-12 Education Time, Date, and Location: 2:20 - 3:20 p.m., Thursday, March 17, BCH 121 This presentation will provide an overview of Missouri University of Science and Technology’s STEM focused elementary education program, highlighting the preparation of our graduates and future teachers. Likewise, participants will experience Project Lead the Way apps and activities firsthand, developing an understanding of how Activity-Project-Based learning is used to enhance conceptual understanding, critical thinking, creativity, and the engineering design process to solve real-world problems in the classroom. ~ A Study on Instructors' & Students' Feedback and Assessment of Project Lead the Way (PLTW) STANDARD SESSION (45-60 minutes) Presenters: Tags: Project Lead the Way; PLTW Audience: K-12; Higher Education Time, Date, and Location: 3:40 - 4:40 p.m., Thursday, March 17, BCH 121 This comparative study looks at feedback from two groups: High School Instructors and College Students who took Project Lead the Way (PLTW) courses in high school. The objective of this initial study was to compare some of the factors that contribute to the impact PLTW has on students. The investigation includes a survey of PLTW instructors to identify PLTW course offerings and instructor backgrounds and a student survey and assessment. The responses of the surveys and the assessment of student performance was conducted to determine if any indicators provided a noticeable trend. ~ Rethinking Redesign to Enhance Course Engagement CERTI EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM MINI-GRANT SESSION (15-25 minutes) Presenters: Tags: Audience: Higher Education Time, Date, and Location: 9:45 - 10:30 a.m., Friday, March 18, BCH 121 Technology is transforming traditional classrooms into training spaces that can be tailored for individual learning patterns and personalized for different skill levels. Students in these nontraditional settings are given additional hands-on experience that allows them to become immersed in a variety of subjects. These techniques challenge students enough to maintain focus while remaining within their capabilities to preserve student curiosity. This presentation will discuss how to tailor a course to allow students to experience different teaching techniques—such as flipped classrooms, hands-on activities, videos, TedEd, Quizlet, and Scoop.It—to build on the concepts explained in class. ~ How do Online Videos and Textbook Reading Engage Students and Affect Exam Performance? CERTI EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM MINI-GRANT SESSION (15-25 minutes) Presenter: Dr. Katie Shannon - Associate Teaching Professor of Biological Sciences; Missouri S&T Tags: flipped classroom; student engagement; student study habits; assigned reading Audience: Higher Education Time, Date, and Location: 9:45 - 10:30 a.m., Friday, March 18, BCH 121 My Cell Biology couse meets three days a week. One day a week is flipped, where students watch online videos and take a quiz before class and work as a group on problem sets in class. The other two days a week students have an assigned reading before class, and in class is primarily lecture. I am using data on student's video viewing and reading habits to determine effects on exam performance and to measure student engagement. ~ Visualizing Research and Writing: Improving Student Self-Confidence through Focus Groups and Library Interaction CERTI EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM MINI-GRANT SESSION (15-25 minutes) Presenter: Jossalyn Larson - Assistant Teaching Professor of English & Technical Communication; Missouri S&T Tags: blended learning; flipped classroom; course design; student success; instructor efficacy; library; research; citations; copyright Audience: Higher Education Time, Date, and Location: 10:45 - 11:30 a.m., Friday, March 18, BCH 121 The project's design is intended to capitalize on face-to-face interactions by flipping the traditional lecture/workshop classroom setting, and converting class meetings to discipline-specific focus groups that would meet once per week in the library. Students participate in the course online, and meet in discipline-specific focus groups once per week, during the class’s section time. During weeks 15-16, the class reconvenes to meet three times per week, and students present condensed versions of their research projects to their classmates in order to gain presentation experience, and to gather feedback from an audience that is not comprised solely of specialists in their disciplines. ~ Evaluation of Section Properties App for Mechanics of Materials CERTI EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM MINI-GRANT SESSION (15-25 minutes) Presenter: Dr. Nicolas A. Libre - Assistant Teaching Professor of Civil, Architectural, & Environmental Engineering; Missouri S&T Tags: mechanics of materials; statics; instructional software; educational technology; assessments Audience: Higher Education Time, Date, and Location: 10:45 - 11:30 a.m., Friday, March 18, BCH 121 The efficiency of an app-based educational technology in active learning and adaptive evaluation of students in mechanics of materials will be discussed in this presentation. The effect of using an educational app on performance of students that was experimentally measured by comparing performance of students who use this app with those who use traditional methods will be discussed. The proposed program will address the gap related to primary knowledge required by all students taking Mechanics of Materials, which is a cornerstone course in many engineering disciplines. |
