Finally, male students held a higher self-belief inindependence of learning compared with female students.IntroductionIt is widely accepted that one goal of higher education is to instill in students the need for and thepractice of lifelong learning. All major stakeholders of higher education – graduates, employers,faculty and accrediting agencies – agree that this outcome is critically important given the rapidpace of change of society, especially in engineering and technology. Our graduates must adaptto this change to remain productive contributors. Indeed, it can be argued that much – or evenmost – of what an engineering graduate needs to

This perspectives is rooted incritical science agency theory which has been developed in qualitative research in scienceeducation
