GORBETT  \nKAYLA E. CHAPMAN  \nMATTHEW W. LIBERATORE University of Toledo Toledo, OH  \nABSTRACT  \nSpreadsheets are a core computational tool for practicing engineers and engineering students. While Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and other spreadsheet tools have some differences, numerous formulas, functions, and other tasks are common across versions and platforms. Building upon learning science frameworks showing that interactive activities are advantageous, an interactive textbook from zyBooks was created to provide students the opportunity to acquire spreadsheet skills by doing. Interactive components include stepping through animations, completing multiple choice and matching questions, and evaluating spreadsheet formulas and functions using 100+ autograded, randomized questions. While the interactive reading participation was discussed in previous work, the focus here is on auto-graded questions, sometimes called online homework. Fraction correct regardless of attempts, number of attempts before correct, and number of attempts after correct provided metrics to examine deliberate practice across three cohorts encompassing over 250 students. Sections grouped as General spreadsheet skills or Functions generally showed greater median correct, ranging from 76 to 90%, than sections categorized as Advanced spreadsheet skills, which led to median correct of 68 to 81% . Median correct also varied between different question types and decreased with question order, which aligns with questions being scaffolded. Finally, a hypothesis was tested: Adding a Copy sheet feature to the auto-graded questions would encourage deliberate practice and improve fraction correct between cohorts. Over 80% of students used the new Copy sheet button, and a statistically significant increase with large effect size in fraction correct between cohorts was found, which supports the hypothesis.  \nKey words: Learning technology; automated grading; knowledge transfer  \n2022: VOLUME 10 ISSUE 2 49  \nADVANCES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION  \nDeliberate Practice of Spreadsheet Skills when Using Copiable, Randomized, and Auto-graded Questions within an Interactive Textbook  \nINTRODUCTION  \nCompleting calculations in spreadsheets is a common task for engineers and many other professions. Organizing data, calculating sums and averages, and visualizing trends in charts exemplify ways that spreadsheets empower engineering students and working engineers. Specifically related to chemical engineering education, the ubiquity of spreadsheets in the undergraduate curriculum was recently quantified and confirmed, especially when compared to earlier surveys (Hesketh, Grover, and Silverstein 2020) .  \nWhile Microsoft Excel has been the standard spreadsheet application for decades (Clough 2016), the pervasive nature of spreadsheets has led to many alternatives, including Google Sheets, Apple Numbers, and Apache OpenOffice Calc. Paralleling the growth of free, cloud-based spreadsheets, spreadsheet education and training has dramatically expanded in recent years. While some books are still published for each new version of Excel or similar software, e. g. , (Liengme and Hekman 2019), web-based videos provide abundant content on using spreadsheets. Initiating a web search quickly locates thousands of online resources, including step-by-step tutorials, video demonstrations, online courses, or in-person bootcamps or short courses. Specific to chemical engineering, AIChE’s Academy offers webinars and courses from in-person, synchronous virtual, or fully online (AIChE 2020) .  \nOn one hand, despite the abundance of resources, students may feel limited with the masters","cbCaiafA7tIF725P","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiafA7tIF725P","pdf",6008081,31,"English","# Introduction\n# Methods and Design\n## Interactive textbook and question types\n# Results\n## Deliberate practice outcomes\n## Effect of adding a Copy sheet feature\n# Conclusion","[{\"question\":\"What interactive textbook components were used to build spreadsheet skills?\",\"answer\":\"The platform used step-by-step animations, multiple-choice and matching questions, and evaluation of spreadsheet formulas and functions with 100+ autograded randomized items.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the study evaluate deliberate practice using the autograded questions?\",\"answer\":\"It assessed fraction correct (independent of attempts), number of attempts before correct, and number of attempts after correct across three cohorts of 250+ students.\"},{\"question\":\"What impact did adding a Copy sheet feature have?\",\"answer\":\"Over 80% of students used the Copy sheet button, and results showed a statistically significant improvement in fraction correct between cohorts with a large effect size.\"}]","Deliberate Practice of Spreadsheet Skills when Using Copiable, Randomized, and Auto-graded Questions within an Interactive Textbook - Issue 2 - Advances in Engineering Education | PDF",1792066600,78]
