and expansion of students' Funds of Identity.Participants were not typically enrolled in formal coursework. Their acquisition of technicalknowledge was thus dependent on informal learning structures: advisor interactions, self-directedstudy, and peer mentorship. This independence produced both growth and anxiety. Elizabethnoted, “I was working on two different projects. My advisor would give me goals, but not how toget there. It took me weeks to feel like I had any control over my actions.” This absence ofscaffolding mirrored American expectations of research maturity but clashed with the guidedinstruction more common in Colombian undergraduate settings. Consequently, students’ abilityto adapt was linked to their capacity to interpret

These supports often included advising on academic choices orencouraging persistence in STEM coursework.In contrast, elementary teachers were less likely to be associated with direct career guidance.However, they were frequently remembered for engaging students in hands-on, project-basedactivities such as building, designing, or coding. However, these activities were rarely presentedusing the language of engineering, suggesting a potential disconnect between early engagementand professional identity formation.Interestingly, students whose networks were composed of more than 50% of educators appearedto

The researchproject specifically focuses on the role that students’ self-regulation in action (SRA) andmetacognitive knowledge about tasks (MKT) play during problem-solving activities. To gaininsight into academic problem-solving practices, the study examines how undergraduate studentsenrolled in second-year engineering and mathematics (EM) courses (Engineering Statics andOrdinary Differential Equations) use their MKT to navigate problem-solving challenges whileconcurrently monitoring and evaluating their cognitive processes.Twenty undergraduate students (7
