Hao Li – ProQuest LLC, 2023
One of the key challenges of Engineering Education is developing students' ability to navigate and solve problems that have multiple solution paths. In order to accomplish this, the process of solving these moderately- and ill-structured problems needs to be better understood. We used two approaches to achieve this. First, we performed problem…

Emily Amanda Mainzer – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This study examined the engagement of preservice elementary teachers (PSTs) with mathematics tasks that were open in various ways and to varying extents. In K-12 settings, practitioners who have implemented recently popular open tasks report increased engagement and from a wider variety of students. While these anecdotal reports and related…

Hardy, Emerson Campbell – ProQuest LLC, 2022
More older adults are moving toward options for digital connection; keeping up with and learning technology is challenging. Older adults' perceptions of the difficulty of learning to use technology may contribute to their hesitancy to adopt technology options (Barnard, Bradley, Hodgson, & Lloyd, 2013). The purpose of this study was twofold:…

Victor de los Santos – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Extracurricular activities have been known to provide students with learning opportunities not always provided in other traditional learning environments such as communication, leadership, problem-solving skills, and emotional awareness, and have shown benefits in improving student engagement and school attendance. These learning opportunities…

Tegan William Nusser – ProQuest LLC, 2022
This study links the teaching practice of productive struggle, a psychological perspective of classroom activities, and the classroom microculture, an interactionist perspective that combines sociocultural and psychological considerations (Cobb & Yackel, 1996). The research question for this study is: "In what ways does a teacher…
