The leadership styleclassifications and subsequent characteristics are illustrated in Figure 1 in four sectors definedalong a horizontal dominance axis and a vertical responsiveness axis. It is worth noting that noone completely falls into one leadership style, but only one style was assigned to each studentthat best represents their leadership. The project assignment process used only the student’sreported leadership style metric.. It is also worth noting that students are selecting theirleadership style based on their perceptions. In subsequent data collection and analysis, theauthors plan to address the question as to whether students self-identify consistently across thespan of the project. Figure 1

In addition to explaining how career choices develop, SCCT is used to design andevaluate career planning interventions. In a recent systematic review of SCCT’s application tointervention studies [17], the model was used in 18 articles primarily in the United States. Acrossrural and urban settings, the interventions targeted self-efficacy. Self-efficacy1 is the bedrock ofthe theory and a mainstay short-term outcome selected by education practitioners for evaluation.

To help them in this process, they assign anestimate to each task of how much effort it will take to complete the task. The team needs tohave accurate effort estimates to ensure the workload for the sprint is appropriate.

The study analyses reflection journals from14 third-year material science and engineering students using a qualitative, inductive approach.Results identify four key aspects of problem scoping: (a) gathering information about clients,problem context, and the designers themselves; (b) setting goals based on gathered data; (c)developing solutions using divergent, convergent, and logical thinking; and (d) evaluating andmanaging design outcomes by reflecting on solutions by envisioning outcomes or creatingbackup plans. Both male and female students show similar approaches.
