in locations that are often hard to reach or require the player to be highly attuned to their environment [6].Resource gathering in many games can be considered a very monotonous and time-consumingtask, especially in games such as those in “Monster Hunter” or “Horizon Zero Dawn.” This is nodifferent than grinding away on home sets. Both these require players to spend dozens of hoursto get to a more enjoyable or rewarding activity. This is an example of how the video gamingindustry has successfully built self-guided learning as it maximizes a players internal motivationto master a game.

). In part because of this issue, in recent years the university has been emphasizing analternative path into the teaching profession for STEM students: completion of theundergraduatedegree in their STEM field first, followed by a year of post-baccalaureate studyfocused on teacher training and licensure. This program also awards the student a Master’s inTeaching degree. With ETSU’s `Accelerated Bachelors-to- Masters’ program, students cantake some of their MAT courses during their senior year. There are several advantages to thisalternative 4+1 path. First, with the Master’s degree, the starting salaries in local schooldistricts are $3200 -$3900 higher than with just the Bachelor’s degree. This higher salary helps to retain teachers inthe

In the interview, one female participant told us, "After hearing about this program[curriculum], and [WAVES ladies in] World War II, I felt really good about these women. Icould maybe look up to them and say, wow, maybe that could be me one day."ConclusionIn this study, we explored students' learning and development of an identity and cryptology andcybersecurity as well as career awareness in a 20-hour afterschool curriculum that introducescryptology and cybersecurity to elementary-aged children. Our data suggest that children asyoung as 8-9 years old understand and can master cryptology and cybersecurity concepts andskills. Our participants

motivate self-learning, using reflection andmetacognition [8] to learn from early mistakes, and applying mastery-based grading [9] tomotivate students to master course topics. It should be noted that the SBG approach described inthis paper is quite similar to mastery-based grading, but there are some differences thatdistinguish the two approaches.The end goals of SBG and mastery-based grading are similar: that students can identify whichcourse topics need strengthening, and multiple attempts are given to demonstrate improvedperformance. In both approaches, major course topics are identified as course learningobjectives (CLOs). Similarly, both approaches use homework, quizzes, and exams for formativeand summative assessments.Where the approaches

For example, the State of Oklahoma currently usesthe ISTE 2016 Student Standards as the basis for the Education Technology Integrated AcademicStandard, however, they do not have a state assessment for it, unlike the four core subjects (math,science, social study, and English language arts), but also unlike other subjects not required byESSA, such as fine arts, world languages, and personal financial literacy [23].
