The Reflection-Informed Learning and Instruction to Improve Students’ Academic Success in Undergraduate Classrooms

Abstract

This study addressed the role of the reflection-informed learning and instruction (RILI) model on students’ academic success by using CourseMIRROR mobile system. We hypothesized that prompting students to reflect on confusing concepts stimulates their self-monitoring activities according to which students are expected to review their understanding, search for related knowledge, and try to identify the confusing concepts. With this student-reflection information, instructors can thus address students’ difficulties effectively, which can lead to enhanced academic success. We tested our hypothesis by conducting a semester-long quasi-experimental study in undergraduate industrial engineering classes (N?=?153). The analyses revealed that students in the RILI condition performed significantly better than students in the control condition (Cohen’s d = .82). In addition, reflection analysis showed that both quality and quantity of reflections were significantly associated with exam performance. Surveys indicated users highly valued the RIFI model; they rated CourseMIRROR favorably and said they would continue to use it in future classes.     

基于BIM的工程管理专业毕业设计模式探索

毕业设计作为本科阶段最重要的一项实践活动,现在已经很难让学生取得巨大的进步,所以毕业设计急需进行改进.工程管理作为最贴近工程实际的专业之一,通过运用BIM技术,将进行毕业设计的学生按专业分组,形成团队毕业设计,同时也可以将工程管理与土木工程等专业进行结合,将毕业设计的所有权限下放给学生,成为一种高校毕业设计的新模式,实现学生团队意识、专业素养全面发展.

Enhanced teaching and student learning through a simulator-based course in chemical unit operations design

This paper illustrates a teaching technique used in computer applications in chemical engineering employed for designing various unit operation processes, where the students learn about unit operations by designing them. The aim of the course is not to teach design, but rather to teach the fundamentals and the function of unit operation processes through simulators. A case study presenting the teaching method was evaluated using student surveys and faculty assessments, which were designed to measure the quality and effectiveness of the teaching method. The results of the questionnaire conclusively demonstrate that this method is an extremely efficient way of teaching a simulator-based course. In addition to that, this teaching method can easily be generalised and used in other courses. A student's final mark is determined by a combination of in-class assessments conducted based on cooperative and peer learning, progress tests and a final exam. Results revealed that peer learning can improve the overall quality of student learning and enhance student understanding.     

工程教育认证新标准下毕业要求达成度评价方法研究

目前针对工程教育认证中的毕业要求达成度评价尚无成熟和标准的方法。且随着认证工作的深入,各院校机械工程专业原有的达成度评估方法已不能适应认证标准(2018版)的新要求。为此,文章以工程教育认证标准新要求下机械工程专业毕业要求达成度评价的若干问题进行研究。建立学生和教师对毕业要求的认知机制,梳理其认知渠道。建立符合工程教育认证标准要求的“能力形成过程评价和能力达成结果评价相结合”的毕业要求达成度评价方法。对评估结果进行分析,找出培养环节中的“短板”,提出针对性的持续改进意见。为培养创新能力强、适合经济社会发展需要的优秀工程师打下良好基础。
