90% of my students (N=87) strongly agreedthat sharing my teaching philosophy is critical. Additionally, underrepresented students wereempowered and archived more than half the “A”s in my courses. In conclusion, since equal is notalways fair, instructors must make their expectations exceptionally clear to ensure that anystudent can succeed and earn an “A.” I believe it is time for educators to polish their teachingphilosophy, create appealing visual models, and share them with their students.IntroductionDeveloping a Teaching Philosophy Statement (TPS) is central in any academic career [1]. TPSdeclares the educator’s approach to teaching and learning. Creating a teaching philosophyengages educators in metacognitive reflection on what they

Instructors in higher education consider various ways of integrating creativity and innovation into thecourses they teach to better prepare students for their future careers [4]. Study shows that between the twocommonly-used approaches that enhance creativity, i.e., teaching vs. practice creativity, stimulatingcreativity by practices is considered to be more effective [5]. In addition, many professors used project-based learning [6, 7] when trying to foster creativity in their courses [8, 9].Due to robotics’ multi-disciplinary nature, we think

Furthermore, there are many factors contributing to whether or nota student may choose to pursue a STEM-related career. Research suggests that early math achievement,math self-efficacy beliefs, and early exposure to STEM-related subjects are all indicative of whetherstudents enroll in STEM majors. While math achievement is a significant indicator of a student’s interestin engineering related fields, early exposure to STEM is one of the most influential factors in whetherstudents continue to seriously pursue related fields in their later academic career.The intent of this paper is to show that early STEM exposure, along with the implementation

Self-efficacy refers toan individual’s belief that they can do certain things [2], in this case the belief that they cansucceed in engineering. Studies have found that self-efficacy correlates with both academicperformance [5] and persistence [6]; research has found that while some aspects of women’sself-efficacy in engineering have increased over the years, their self-efficacy tends to decreaseover the course of their academic career [7].
