For example, students maywonder whether they are being heard in the group and if they belong in a particular communityof practice. Content uncertainty includes questions about the ideas, approaches, or intended endresult of an activity. This type of uncertainty is similar to what Hartner-Tiefenthaler et al. refer toas epistemological uncertainty, which they define as a “subjective feeling of being unsure aboutthe content, process or outcome of a task.” (p. 21, 2018). We adopt the latter term,epistemological uncertainty, to reflect that questions about process can include questions aboutwhat counts as valuable ways of knowing and doing

"The Village of Yakutia has about 50,000 people. Its harsh winters and remote location make heating a living space very expensive. The rising price of fossil fuels has been reflected in the heating expenses of Yakutia residents. In fact, many residents are unable to afford heat for the entire winter (5 months). A Northeastern Federal University study shows that 38% of village residents have gone without heat for at least 30 winter days in the last 24 months. Last year, 27 Yakutia deaths were attributed to unheated homes. Most died from

Cullen and Harris argue that “a syllabus is more than an outline of course.It represents the mindset, that is the professor’s philosophy of teaching and learning as well ashis or her attitudes toward students, and conceptualization of the course [8].” Cullen and Harrisfurther argue that a review of course syllabi can reveal much about an instructor’s learner-centered practices and have developed a rubric for assessing learner-center qualities of coursesyllabi.

This reflects the authoritative tendency to 9establish high standards while being responsive.

StatisticsThe descriptive statistics provide insights into the participants’ characteristics and perceptions inthe study. Cumulative GPA, a measure of academic performance, shows a mean of 3.63 (SD =0.350) out of 4.00, indicating that participants generally achieved high levels of achievement.Personality traits such as Extraversion and Task control, which were rated on a 7-point scale,reflect the participants’ tendencies in group settings. The mean of 4.52 (SD = 1.418) forExtraversion indicates a propensity to actively contribute in groups, while the mean of 3.69 (SD= 1.442) for Task control suggests a balanced approach to task delegation.

to their team, which can help or hurt the team's productivity. The course instructor is not involved in most team interactions and, thus, is less equipped to judge the influence of individual students on team dynamics. Peer evaluation tools fill this gap by eliciting feedback from the people most familiar with the team (i.e., team members). This process informs the instructor about team dynamics and helps teams improve their dynamics and performance [17].To utilize peer evaluation opportunities to improve team performance and reflect on areas ofindividual growth, students must be familiar with desirable teamwork behaviors and must be ableto clearly communicate constructive feedback to their peers. Unfortunately, it is rare for peerfeedback

Individual and team reports were due by 5 PM theday preceding the lab period so the instructor could review the progress before the midafternoonlab.
