“…Decisions in a problem-solving situation are made in a dual-space: before (prediction of the result) and after the decision (analysis of the real results of the prediction); hence, decision-making involves considering multiple scenarios pre and post (Meyer, 2018). This study aims to enhance Meyer's proposal for decision making by including the schematic representation of the situation (mental model) in the pre-phase, and the selection of an appropriate justification of the decision (argumentation schema).…”

The primary objective of this article is to identify the mental models that represent a social-scientific problematic specific to high-school Colombian students. This is followed by the analysis of the argumentative schemes that these students may use to justify such models. By using a combined design, fifty two participants (52 people, 31 women and 21 men between the ages of 15 and 23; with education levels between high school and undergraduate degree) analyzed the possibility of implementing a mining exploitation project in a specific region of Colombia that is currently under the administrative control of one of Colombia’s native communities. The qualitative analysis showed the presence of 11 models for thinking about the given social-scientific problematic and a limited range of argumentation schemes (11); the quantitative analysis through ANOVAs (variance analysis) showed significant differences regarding the number of arguments per grade and the mental model. The results are discussed emphasizing the advantage that proceeds from exploring the students’ argumentative speech from a developmental-cognitive perspective with significant implications in the educational field.

In this paper, the authors present their experiences from participating in a National Science Foundation (NSF) I-Corps L training program established for business startups, using Blank’s Lean LaunchPad, Osterwalder’s Business Model Canvas, and associated tools. They used the entrepreneurial skills acquired through this training to scale-up their emerging innovation, the Cincinnati Engineering Enhanced Math and Science Program (CEEMS), which had been developed, implemented, and evaluated with successful results over a period of seven years in a targeted 14 school-district partnership in Greater Cincinnati. The overriding goal was to improve student learning and success rates in K–12 math and science courses by helping to accelerate the process of bringing effective educational innovation, CEEMS, to scale. In CEEMS, teachers were trained in using challenge-based learning (CBL) and the engineering design process (EDP), teaching pedagogies to transform their classrooms into student-centered, hands-on learning environments, while also assisting students to improve their evaluation scores related to science, math, and engineering instruction. CEEMS teachers acquired the necessary skills through coursework, professional development (PD) workshops, and longitudinal professional guidance provided by assigned coaches over a period of two years to become proficient in developing CBL–EDP curriculum, teaching it, and assessing student learning and reflecting after teaching. The authors have documented how they used customer market research conducted during the I-Corps L training to define their minimum viable product (MVP) to duplicate the successful CEEMS methodology through a condensed (≤16 week) self-paced, completely online training program with virtual coaching support. The authors also describe the process they used to move forward very quickly from an MVP to a more complete product offering, its branding, the process of trademarking it, and finally licensing it to an established non-profit organization (NPO) for future marketing. Details of the whole experience are presented with the hope that it will serve as a useful guide for other venture creators.

“…Wadhwa (2016)and Mohamad and Hussein (2018). Meyer (2018) also highlighted that the decision-making by students will be based on their purpose and intention. PHEI in the industry need to understand the students' needs and wants beside the capability of them to pay for the fees.…”

Purpose of Study: This research focuses on factors influence students’ decisions making to enrol at private Higher Education Institution (HEI). Methodology: The underpinning theory applied in this study was Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) applied for institution rankings, institution facilities, and employment opportunities. Questionnaire was used to collect the data over 100 of students in Universiti Kuala Lumpur, Business School Campus. Data were analyzed by employing exploratory factor analyses and reliability analyses.SPSS version 24 applied. Results: The result revealed for factor loading all items above 0.5, institution facilities remarks the highest Kaiser Meyer-Olkin (KMO) with .877 and for Cronbach’s alpha with .924.
