CPR-casting
Benefits:
Intellectual
Merits:
- Improved
performance in the Triple A’s of resolving STEM-related problems:
Articulate (write
it, sketch it, describe it), Analyze and Assess, and Ascertain
solutions. We
realized additional benefits:
(1) heightened attention during class, as students may be
called upon to respond at any time in a CPR-casting environment (2)
increased participation during class, as more students are able to
present their assignment and (3) heightened retention of material as
evidenced by performance on quizzes and tests.
- Improved
overall problem solving skills among student participants that impact
performance in other coursework
- Improved
presentation skills among student participants
- Heightened
awareness of student participants’ learning curve, by both
instructor and student
- Improved
problem solving skills that translate to improved performance across
all STEM disciplines.
- Improved
course grades and enhanced comprehension and mastery of word problems
– a skill critical to improved ACS scores; greater leadership roles
in related STEM activities - such as tutoring students new to STEM
disciplines and initiating the development of additional outreach
efforts to budding STEM scholars with whom institutions have strategic
partnerships.
We invite
other faculty to share their core course concepts and rubrics. Write
to us at: info@cprcasting.com and
share your findings. We will gladly publish them here, under
"contributing Universities, and we'll also add your biography and
