3. Real-World Problem-Solving Class is Correlated with Higher Student Persistence in Engineering

Author

Abstract

Student persistence in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) has long been a focus of educational research, with both quantitative and qualitative methods being used to investigate patterns and mechanisms of attrition. Some studies have used machine learning to predict a student's likelihood to persist given measurable classroom factors and institutional data, while others have framed persistence as a function of a student's social integration in the classroom. While these methods have provided insight into broader underlying patterns of attrition in STEM, they have not investigated class structures or teaching methods that promote persistence. In this study we explore how a research-based instructional format for an introductory calculus-based physics class using real world problem-solving (RPS) was correlated with higher persistence for students at a large research-intensive university. We found that the one-year persistence rates for the RPS course were 74% (fall semester) and 90% (spring semester), while the lecture-based class had a persistence rate of 64% and 78%, respectively. In spring, the RPS persistence rate was significantly higher (p=0.037). The RPS also had higher final grades and larger learning gains than the lecture-based class despite lower scores on a physics diagnostic test. We also note that the higher rates of persistence were not completely explained by higher final grades. This study motivates future work to understand the structural mechanisms that promote student persistence in introductory physics courses.

26. User Experience and Heritage Preservation

Author

Orfield, Steven J., Chapman, J. Wesley, and Davis, Nathan

Abstract

In considering the heritage preservation of higher education campus buildings, much of the attention gravitates toward issues of selection, cost, accuracy, and value, but the model for most preservation projects does not have a clear method of achieving the best solutions for meeting these targets. Instead, it simply relies on the design team and client team to intuitively arrive at a set of conclusions, and both may have a vested interest in either a new or preserved building. In order to gain the highest potential benefit from preservation, higher education institutions must have better protocols for determining their selection of buildings, levels of preservation, perceptual benchmarks, high-quality building performance standards, and reasoned approaches to sustainability. These authors contend that it is time that higher education institutions take a far more rigorous approach to these projects so that the results will be better-preserved buildings at a more reasonable cost and a better understanding of how new building projects can proceed with the same logic as that applied to heritage preservation.
