STUDENT ATTITUDES TOWARD INQUIRY-BASED EXERCISES IN UNDERGRADUATE LAB COURSES

摘要

This paper reports on work in progress for a Type 1 CCLI project. The primary focus of the research project has been the development of a series of inquiry-based demonstrations and laboratory exercises appropriate for students in the third year of engineering and engineering technology programs. Students volunteered to participate in the research study by allowing the research team to track their grades and survey responses. This paper presents results from analyzing student responses to attitude surveys given before and after the use of the inquiry-based exercises.
