Estimates of Use of Research-Based Instructional Strategies in Core Electrical or Computer Engineering Courses
@article{Froyd2013EstimatesOU, title={Estimates of Use of Research-Based Instructional Strategies in Core Electrical or Computer Engineering Courses}, author={Jeffrey E. Froyd and Maura Borrego and Stephanie Cutler and Charles Henderson and Michael J. Prince}, journal={IEEE Transactions on Education}, year={2013}, volume={56}, pages={393-399} }
Many research-based instruction strategies (RBISs) have been developed; their superior efficacy with respect to student learning has been demonstrated in many studies. Collecting and interpreting evidence about: 1) the extent to which electrical and computer engineering (ECE) faculty members are using RBISs in core, required engineering science courses, and 2) concerns that they express about using them, are important aspects of understanding how engineering education is evolving. The authors…

An analysis of the fidelity of implementation of Research-Based Instructional Strategies in the statics classroom
- Education
- 2013
Overall fidelity values are reported and in-depth results for 3 specific RBIS: Concept Tests, Collaborative Learning, and Problem-Based Learning are presented and many of the activities were found to have a significant relationship with the reported users of each RBIS, thus discriminating between users and nonusers.
