Institutions across the country have redesigned their introductorycourse experiences in engineering in recent years. This includes, for instance, Oregon StateUniversity [7], James Madison University [8], Norwich University [9], Portland State University[10], Temple University [11], Clarkson University [12], and University of California, Irvine [13],among others. However, this is not a US-specific phenomenon, with institutions in othercountries reporting similar

We will evaluateattendance at the camp and the community educator training as a measure of process evaluationto measure dose delivered and received. We will also measure fidelity of implementation of thecurriculum. For the outcome evaluation, we will measure community educator geospatialtechnological content knowledge and self-efficacy.

In Baherimoghadam et al.,2021 [20], authors examined the effect of learning style and self-efficacy on satisfaction of e-learning in Generation Z dental students. The study defined learning style as “a combination ofcognitive, emotional, and physiological characteristics [which] might indicate how a student canlearn,” and used the Solomon and Felder learning styles index to measure different learningstyles which has four characteristics, including processing, perception, input, and understanding.Using SPSS to analyze their results, the authors found that active processing and globalunderstanding learning style characteristics had significant relationships

variables that SCCT is built upon. The first is self-efficacy beliefs. That is,how a person perceives their ability to do something. These beliefs are dynamic and can changefrom activity to activity as well as over time. The next variable is outcome expectations. Aperson is more likely to do something if they believe the outcome will be positive (for them, forsociety, or in whatever sense they choose). The last one is personal goals, and it relates to bothself-efficacy and outcome expectations. Personal goals are often what drives people to pursue acertain academic path and are usually grounded in what they believe they can do (self-efficacybelief) and the intention of a positive outcome (outcome expectations).Research of the application of SCCT to

.” Ultimately,perceived norms are shaped by an individual’s perception of other’s attitudes toward thebehavior and social expectations about the consequences of the behavior – critical components ofintention.The third component, perceived behavior control, encompasses individuals’ perceptions of theircapacity or control over executing a specific behavior. This concept aligns with the notion ofself-efficacy [36], where actions are contingent upon one’s belief in their capability to performthem, as acknowledged the authors: “It can be seen that our definition of perceived behavioralcontrol…is very similar to Bandura’s conception of self-efficacy” [4, p. 155].

A semi-structured interviewwith multiple open-ended questions were used to prompt participants to share their experienceswith assessment in relation to their self-efficacy around teaching and their perceptions ofassessment in relation to their students’ failure mindset, metacognition (awareness of learningprocesses), and agency (ownership of learning).

Social belonging relates to positive social interactions with peers, faculty,and campus community, whereas academic belonging relates to academic performance,academic self-efficacy, curriculum motivation, and perceptions of belonging within aprofessional discipline [4, 5]. SB is, therefore, one of the main contributors to students’ academicsuccess, persistence, and overall well-being. The literature reports that the lack of SB isperceived differently by different student groups and is critical for underrepresented students(e.g., first-generation and low socioeconomic status) to persist in college after the first year ofstudy [6].

. Authoritarian parents prioritize adherence to"rigid rules" and high expectations over open dialog. Permissive parents indulge child autonomyover behavioral regulation, while uninvolved parents provide general neglect and disengagement.Several research studies have examined the relationship between parenting styles and career-decision making and career self-efficacy (Guay et al., 2003; Sovet & Metz, 2014). In another line of research, Kincaid et al. (2012) mentioned that “Bronfenbrenner (1961,1979) was among the first to suggest that parenting behaviors, including parental affection andtenable authority, may have differential effects on boys and girls'' (p. 5). Given the importance ofparents’ role and parenting styles on career decision making
