CPR-casting
Students who participate in the CPR-L process demonstrate their grasp of course subject matter when they solve a problem using the rubrics of the 3-step process. Their thinking and methodology are confirmed when they submit a visual and audio recording of their work. Students talk themselves through the problem-solving process as a recording of what they're saying is being made. This act serves as a "self-teaching" process as they hear themselves articulate core course concepts, the "givens" or "knowns" in the problem, what solution or answer is being sought, and the reasoning they use to find a solution. A review of the recording demonstrates how well the student understands underlying concepts as well as their ability to apply them. When done properly, students' recordings of the problem-solving process can be used as a model for other students. This page has several video/audio recordings of students' application of the CPR-L problem solving process. These students participate in the NSF-sponsored HBCU-UP-LINC program, and are STEM majors at Langston University.
