Why bother?
Going from ET Practitioner to ET Researcher
Reasons for NOT doing so:
1. I get no time off or incentive from my institution to do ET research.
2. There is very less acknowledgement by peers, heads, administration.
3. It is not easy to find resources, mentors while planning and execution.
4. It takes a lot of time; I already have heavy course loads.
Reasons for persevering:
5. By doing action research I am trying to solve my own teaching-learning
problem, which is needed to perform well in my role as teacher.
6. My students will start appreciating the effort, which is most important;
When I get papers published (in conferences like T4E), peers will start
acknowledging my work.
7. Initial mentoring and scaffolds are provided by IITB, through workshops.

Action research can be done
in a small aspect (may be 1-3 lectures/6

tutorials) of the course.

Mental Rotation (MR) ability is important in various fields ranging from art and
education to engineering and technology. MR ability can be improved by
computer based training. Most existing techniques require weeks of training
and are based on proprietary software. We developed a three-hour training
module using Blender, a 3D open source software. In this paper, we present
experimental details of the effect of our training on the improvement of MR
ability. Our sample was 42 first year engineering undergraduate students and
we used Vandenberg's Mental Rotation Test for pretest and post-test. We
found the results to be significant, leading to a large effect size for the entire
sample. We also found that females and low achievers are more likely to
benefit by such training.
