Many issues were encountered in the first two years of the program. Primary issues in the deployment of the program included staffing, finance, enrollment, curriculum development, the development of instructional materials, and college credit award. Faculty level issues included the assimilation of university level faculty to the high school environment and the duality of faculty working between the university and high school systems. Student specific issues included student learning disabilities, English as a Second Language, and discipline in the classroom. Unique solutions were developed and applied to make the program a success. The following paper gives an overview of the program and solutions to some of the issues that were encountered. The goal is to present the approach taken in this particular program to give others who are developing similar programs insight into possible issues they may encounter","PeriodicalId":281157,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Frontiers in Education 35th Annual Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123802029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unstructured observations were carried out in laboratory classes (in six lessons in various high schools) on learning and instruction processes, both in the conventional method and in the simulation method (three lessons for each method). An observation model was then developed. Unstructured observations findings indicate the main division of the observation model categories which is based on the four stages inherent in the structure of the lab lesson; organization, preliminary theoretical background discussion, carrying out the experiment, and summary of the lab lesson. The first experimental observation model for use in a small group was piloted. An innovative observation model that has been developed was used to conduct observations in six different 12th grade lab classes in the electric and electronics stream in Israeli high schools. On the basis of these observations, the model was revised and improved. Observations findings indicated the advantages of learning and instruction processes in the computerized simulation method over the conventional method. The observation model which was developed in this study may serve as an observation tool to monitor skills development and cognitive processes in students during conventional or simulated laboratory lessons and as a further way of improving learning and instruction processes","PeriodicalId":281157,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Frontiers in Education 35th Annual Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126638959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An \"online\" offering of a course typically increases the faculty effort by a factor of four to six and, without costly broadband communications equipment and operating personnel, it is difficult for students to ask questions of the instructor or the instructor to poll or quiz the students. Without these features, much of what is called \"distance-learning\" today can be distilled to nothing more than watching recorded video and definitely not the desired \"learning community\" experience of the contemporary engineering classroom. Silicon Chalktrade is collaborative software designed to enhance the face-to-face experience, allow for and encourage participation of remote students, record the entire process, and make it available to students involved synchronously and asynchronously while eliminating, almost entirely, the additional staff and equipment overhead traditionally required.

Research has shown that spatial ability is positively correlated with retention and performance of students within other disciplines which rely on spatial ability, (e.g. chemistry). However, whether spatial ability affects the retention of students in engineering has been disputed in the literature. Furthermore, research has not yet been conducted which assesses the relationship between self efficacy, that is the student's confidence, with respect to spatial skills and retention. In this paper, results of both spatial ability, using a subset of the Purdue spatial visualization test: rotations (PSVT:R), and self efficacy, using a developed test for this research, was presented for over 200 students from five different engineering disciplines. Statistically significant differences were found for gender, type of CAD training, class standing and whether or not the student is declared or undeclared in engineering with respect to self efficacy and/or spatial ability","PeriodicalId":281157,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Frontiers in Education 35th Annual Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122396277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
