facets of knowledge inlearning activities. Additionally, Krathwohl's revision of Bloom's Taxonomy [14] emphasizes theevolution of the framework, underlining the significance of metacognitive knowledge. This newlyintroduced category reflects advancements in cognitive psychology, stressing the importance ofstudents' awareness of their own cognitive processes—an aspect crucial for effective learning.Building on Bloom's Taxonomy, which originated in 1956 [16], the end goal has always been tocontribute to the development of students’ learning facilitated through a taxonomy of educationalobjectives and in this case, specific to engineering education. The taxonomy not only classifieseducational goals but also provides precision in discussing curricular

badgesoffer exciting opportunities beyond their traditional program of study [6]. Digital badges splitlearning into smaller units and are certified separately, allowing the student flexibility in whenand how far to further their skills.In addition to motivating learner engagement and achievement, digital badges can also be usedas a means of: 1. Supporting alternative forms of assessment, differing from standardized tests as the dominant form of knowledge assessment 2. Recognizing and credentialing learning, meeting the increasing workplace demands for evolving skills and competencies 3. Mapping learning pathways, scaffolding student exploration through a curriculum 4. Supporting self-reflection and planning, tracking what was

thequestion: How are metaphors used for epistemological boundary-making in engineeringeducation research (EER)? The first section on epistemological views in EER defines epistemology and synthesizesliterature to illustrate 1) why it is essential to study epistemologies in EER, 2) why EER needsepistemic pluralism, and 3) why it is significant to reflect on the language we use to engage withdiverse epistemologies. The second section on crystalizing epistemological lenses synthesizesliterature across disciplines to show how metaphors crystallize the fluid concept of epistemology.Finally, in the section on seeing the spectrum, we briefly review how metaphors have been usedin EER to clarify epistemologies and propose a study design to investigate

The focus questions used in thepilot study were as follows: 1. What are the main ethical questions at play in this particular story? 2. Which actions made by the story's characters struck you as totally "unethical"? 3. Which actions by the different characters raise ethical questions that are not entirely clear cut?

Yet, while faculty andadministrators argue that the new curriculum has immense value for advancing undergraduateeducation, they simultaneously worry that such collaborations will circumspect thetransdisciplinary goals of their curriculum. As one academic stakeholder reflected, the degreeprogram has the potential to transform how the university thinks about individual learning plansfor undergraduates that exist outside of traditional disciplinary frameworks, but it also “shouldn’tbecome a pipeline for business and industry.”Alongside this tension—and partly in response to it—the authors of this paper were hired toconduct an external

Analyzing such experiences aids understanding of and connection to the broader world(e.g., cultural, social) in which those stories exist. Doing so enables researchers to critically examine thedominant narratives and themes in which those experiences otherwise exist without question or analysis[15]. Autoethnographic research is useful

Furthermore, if students perceivea peer review tool as non-representative and inadequate in its ability to match their perceptionsof internal team dynamics, then those perceptions can impact student value assessments of thecapstone experience as a whole. A sense of “grade injustice” in the presence of social loafing,poor quality work, or communication/interpersonal deficiencies can be demotivating forotherwise high performing students if they reject the adequacy of the mechanisms implementedto catch, correct, and resolve these behaviors [14

The CAE approach adopts a collaborative stance towardcritical self-reflection and can manifest in diverse forms, such as gathering personal memory data(e.g., through journaling), conducting mutual interviews, fostering deliberate dialogue, orobserving one another (e.g., in educational settings). It's important to note that CAE doesn'tunfold in a linear fashion; rather, it necessitates an ongoing dialogue involving conversations,negotiations, or even disagreements among team members over an extended period, spanningmonths if not years.
