significant decrease in the frequencyof these behaviors could suggest a decline in students' engagement or motivation toward theirstudies or, in particular, toward the course.Although the rest of the items decreased in frequency, these differences were not as significant.These items were item 23: "Even when the study materials are boring and uninteresting, I keepworking until I finish," item 24: "Before I start studying, I think about what I need to do to learn,"item 25: "When I read, I stop from time to time to review what I have already read," and item 26:"I believe that I can achieve something significant as a professional." These items cover variousaspects of study habits, motivation, and self-efficacy. A decreased frequency in these areas
surveys versus “reflection while doing” in the form of notebooks. Although thestudy was not definitive, these reflective notebooks may promote increased achievement earlierin the quarter. Further, the students viewed the reflective practice favorably.To increase student engagement with the SBG system, we implemented a co-creation processwith the rubric [15]. The use of co-created rubrics is an inclusive teaching practice that canimprove confidence and self-efficacy [5]. It speeds up future detailed feedback, as the studentsand instructors have a similar understanding about the elements of the rubric and may enhanceself-regulated learning [5]. In our course, proficiency in the standards was evaluated accordingto the co-created rubric (as shown in

widespread adoption ofsustainable, decarbonized energy systems. The goals of the Ohio State EmPOWERmentProgram were developed by twelve faculty in departments across six colleges within theuniversity, in consultation with external stakeholders who work in industry, U.S. nationallaboratories, and non-profit organizations. These stakeholders are ensconced in various aspectsof the field of sustainable energy. Together, this process identified important attitudes,experiences, and core competencies necessary to support three-overarching program goals: 1. Prepare a diverse cohort of versatile graduates with the innovation capacity, self-efficacy, and collaborative capacity to influence positive change in the transition to environmentally

The Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) was used to assesskey constructs related to student success, such as motivation, epistemic and perceptual curiosity,and self-efficacy [34], [35]. Student success was determined by the academic performance ofstudents who received ECP doses in different classes and across the gender spectrum.Furthermore, the fundamentals of ECP and the classroom observation protocol are implementedto effectively integrate ECP into the Biology Discipline.Student participation in ECP was evaluated using the Classroom Observation Protocol forUndergraduate STEM(COPUS), developed by Smith et al.

The in-service teachers’ beliefs about the purpose and role of instruction impactthe ways in which they may adopt curricular content and technological tools in their classroom.Thurm and Barzel [4] explored the complex relationship between mathematics teachers’ beliefsand technology use. One of their findings highlighted teacher self-efficacy in implementingtechnology when more integrated, constructivist methods were present. Not unsurprisingly,technology in the classroom tends to be more difficult for teachers with more of “a proceduralfocus than an explorative one” (pp. 57) [4].

perceptions of team teaching remain acrossdifferent disciplines and are held by students from diverse backgrounds [8].The literature unequivocally supports the benefits of team teaching. Recent studies [2], [9] havefound that team teaching enhances student knowledge and satisfaction and attributed this successto the diverse instructional perspectives and the heightened level of support. Team teaching isalso effective at boosting student self-efficacy and team skills [10]. Furthermore, team teachingfacilitates instructors' professional development. Many authors [1], [6], [11] report thatinstructors who team teach are more likely to adopt evidence-based strategies, critically self-reflect on their courses, and learn innovative teaching techniques.

When looking to combine a strengths-based language with individualreflection, a conversation-based strengths-based intervention showed students had high regardsfor their strengths and had higher levels of optimism and self-efficacy throughout the course[27]. Collectively, these programs emphasize the role of strengths-based languages in fostering athriving atmosphere for undergraduate students.Research into CliftonStrengths is also increasing in popularity. Specifically, researchers approveof using a cohesive assessment tool to provide students with a consistent language to discusstheir strengths and other traits. CliftonStrengths has been proven reliable through its evidence ofconsistency over time, where individuals tend to

The use of examples has been shown to influencestudents' motivation and self-efficacy and help students understand what the expected responseshould look like [57].To enhance students' overall level of metacognitive engagement in all dimensions, instructorsshould direct students to provide evidence for their claims [21], which also improves students’critical thinking skills [58]. For example, the student's response, “My approach was successful,”should be followed up with evidence stating why/why not.Instructors should also guide students to improve their level of engagement in specific elementsof each dimension. For the Planning dimension, instructors should familiarize students with

More than 250 students' writtenresponses provided a comprehensive understanding of the reasons behind their perceptions ofthese strategies' benefits or drawbacks for their learning process. According to the study, third-year students and female students saw in-class active learning strategies as crucial to enhancingtheir comprehension and interactions with peers and professors, while fourth and fifth-yearstudents were more likely to consider these strategies as a waste of lecture time.
