Direct linkPierce, Charles E.; Gassman, Sarah L.; Huffman, Jeffrey T. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2013
This paper describes the development, implementation, and assessment of instructional materials for geotechnical engineering concepts using the Environments for Fostering Effective Critical Thinking (EFFECTs) pedagogical framework. The central learning goals of engineering EFFECTs are to (i) improve the understanding and retention of a specific…

Pinho-Lopes, M.; Macedo, J.; Bonito, F. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2011
The implementation of the Bologna Process enforced a significant change on traditional learning models, which were focused mainly on the transmission of knowledge. The results obtained in a first attempt at implementation of a cooperative learning model in the Soil Mechanics I course of the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of…

Yusten, Jason; Gerber, D. Timothy; Beck, Judy – American Biology Teacher, 2003
Because soils provide water, minerals, and a medium to anchor the roots of plants, measuring the basic physical/chemical components of soils is important to maintaining healthy garden plants and agricultural crops. Historically, soil analysis has been practiced to determine fertilizer and lime applications, soil fertility, and soil improvement…

Lippert, Robert – International Journal of Instructional Media, 2006
This article deals with an on-line soils module project. The two goals for this part of the project were to determine if an on-line soils module could be successfully used for asynchronous instruction of two diverse populations and to determine which demographic factors are related to test performance. The module was presented to an eighth-grade…

Mamo, Martha; Kettler, Timothy; Hussman, Dann – Journal of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Education, 2005
Our objective was to evaluate responses from students with different learning styles to the use of computer technology as a supplemental tool in teaching soil erosion concepts. The online lesson utilized photographs, illustrations, animations, and an interactive model that allowed students to manipulate factors influencing soil erosion. Students…

Teplitski, Max; McMahon, Margaret J. – Journal of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Education, 2006
The implementation of problem-based learning (PBL) and other inquiry-driven educational techniques is often resisted by both faculty and students, who may not be comfortable with this learning/instructional style. We present here a hybrid approach, which combines elements of expository education with inquiry-driven laboratory exercises and…
