“…Results indicated that there was a positive correlation between the amount of time spent modeling and adaptive expertise behaviors shown in the interview. Responses on the adaptive expertise self-report measure were also positively correlated with increased time of modeling when in contextual exercises [5] . These results highlight the importance of context and adaptive expertise qualities when it comes to a student's education.…”

“…Think-a-louds, [3] interviews [1] , and self-report surveys [4] [1] [5][6] [7] have all been used to measure adaptive expertise, with the most common method of measurement being the Adaptive Expertise Beliefs Survey. The current study aims to examine whether a difference in adaptive expertise, as measured by the Adaptive Beliefs Survey, exists between two separate design course sections.…”

“…This balance permits adapting previous knowledge into new situations while remaining productive and efficient. Derived from Piaget's theory on cognitive development [10] , adaptive expertise, for the purpose of this study, is defined as the ability to apply knowledge gained through prior experiences to novel situations in which key parts of information are missing [5] .…”

“…Thus, self-report surveys, where students are asked to self-report gains, may require less time for both development and administration than pre and post tests. Johnson et al [5] examined the effects of contextual modeling exercises in CAD on the production of behaviors associated with adaptive expertise. The researchers used a combination of student interviews and responses on a self-report measure in an attempt to assess changes in adaptive expertise.…”

“…Researchers have used the adaptive expertise beliefs survey to measure adaptive expertise in computer-aided design modeling students [5] [7] , biomedical engineering students [1] , first generation and non-first generation students [7] , and special educators [4] . Preliminary results from the use of the survey suggested that adaptability increases the longer a student is in school (freshman to senior).…”

Many in the academe and industry have long found computer-aided design (CAD) education lacking. These critics have decried the lack of strategic skills and the focus on declarative knowledge associated with specific CAD packages. This work will discuss the most recent findings of a three year iterative investigation examining the role of contextual exercises on CAD modeling procedure and the manifestation of adaptive expertise. The effects of a varying number of contextual exercises incorporated in regular instruction throughout a semester will be examined. Contextual exercises consist of students modeling a component that they have a personal connection to, as opposed to a stylized example from the textbook. Modeling performance on a standard assessment is compared for the various groups as is performance on an end of the semester exercise.This work compares the results of student performance on the standard assessment based on whether students received no, one, or four contextual exercises prior to the assessment. Student performance on an end of the semester exercise that is either stylized or contextual in nature is also examined. Student interviews and coding are used to examine the manifestation of adaptive expertise among those various groups. Statistical analyses are used to evaluate differences among the groups.Interview data showed that there was a slightly greater manifestation of behaviors associated with adaptive expertise in the single contextual self-guided exercise group as compared to those students that used a stylized self-guided exercise. However these differences were of limited statistical significance. The implementation of four contextual exercises showed no increase in the manifestation of adaptive expertise behaviors. In both cases, the implementation of contextual exercises did not result in improved performance on the standard assessment. Limitations of the work and possible causes for some of the unexpected results are detailed.
