. One instructor reported that he had initially allowedfor full replacement, but then a non-negligible number of students did not show up for the initialexam, defeating the purpose of offering second-chance tests.The policies included the aforementioned “90-10” and “one-third two-thirds” policies and asimple average (“50-50”), among others. The instructors provided a range of explanations fortheir choice of grading policies. The instructor that used a simple average ran second-chanceexams that used the same problems but with different numbers than the first-chance exam; less“come back potential” on the second exam was in line with the lower effort of mastering thespecific questions that one had already seen. Another instructor said they were
instance, it is assumed that students learn debugging by havingexperience with debugging [13]. However, a study by Whalley and colleagues revealed thatstudents’ reflections on their experiences with debugging tend to be negative [14]. In this study,students expressed that exploring strategies such as print statements frequently will make themmiss the program’s general idea, forcing them not to follow a methodological approach [14].Although debugging is a challenging task, it is also an essential skill that students must master toacquire other computational thinking skills [15]. Consequently, exploration of students’debugging skills is essential to develop teaching and learning strategies that fully explode theiralready-in-place preferences and
modeled for the students by the facultybecause it is difficult to do so without guidance or confirmation that immediate success isuncommon. 2. It is often difficult for students to break down a large goal or a long-term goal (such as succeeding at a mastery experience) into smaller steps or short-term goals. This is especially true in first-year courses or courses with large projects, and faculty should help students with this task.Goals are necessary for attaining the experiences that students need to build on to master a topicand build self-efficacy. However, being able to set solid attainable goals is a rare skill, especiallyfor first-year college students. Students may need help from faculty to set goals, and remindersabout

accreditation work with highquality; the experts who actually participate in the accreditation are mainly in-serviceteachers and academic administrators of HEIs, while the proportion of personnel fromenterprise and industry associations is very small; a considerable number of expertshave difficulty in mastering the concepts, principles and criteria of programaccreditation. Thirdly, from the perspective of technology, at present, most programs’accreditation has always been in a relatively isolated status and has not beeneffectively connected with the engineer registration system. This directly leads to thelack of training of students’ engineering awareness in the actual training process inHEIs. The phenomenon of valuing theory and neglecting practice

participants were as follows: all identified asLatiné/x/a/o, 12 self-identified men, 9 self-identified women, and 1 gender nonbinary individual.There were 15 individuals that identified as first-generation (FG) and most (n=20) participantshad a Masters’ degree or higher. More than half of the participants (n=12) had five or less yearsof teaching experience. We did not collect any demographic information for the deans thatparticipated. The structure of the conference was to invite guest speakers that have done extensiveresearch in the fields of HSIs and contingent faculty to present on their current research to informthe participants, contextualize their experiences, and to serve as a launching point for deeperreflexion of their own
” of the ST offering highlighted the difference between the learning offerings. Theitems in this category include, “Course”, “Degree”, “Minor” and “Certificate”. Certificate refersto a cluster of courses from an institution to indicate that learners have taken the appropriatematerial related to a specific field of knowledge. Minor indicates a more significant degree ofspecialization.Programs were more specifically branched into “Levels”, namely “Ph.D.”, “Masters”, and“Bachelors”. This was done since some of the courses offered were tailored towards a certaincategory of students from a specific department. The “Education Institute” is relatively clear tounderstand. Each data point was retrieved from a specific post-secondary institution in

Values that are close to 0 inthe delta matrix (smaller than 0.1) will be forced to be 0 and everything else to be 1 as shown in 𝐾Equations (7) and (8).

alone, the contribution to the overall coursegrade from homework should be no more than 10%-15%. Student perception of high self-determinacy with regards to their homework grade often provides sufficient rapport boosts withthe instructor to permit more stringent grading on exams.The initial submission consists of completed problems and a coversheet. The coversheet helpsstudents strategize and reflect on their learning by asking a few metacognitive questions derivedfrom standard classroom assessment techniques [19]. Additionally, the coversheet provides apunch list to help students (and instructors) evaluate whether their submissions are truly “goodfaith efforts” [15].

-device literacy.IntroductionThe development of computational thinking (CT) skills is essential to prepare students fortheir future professions [1], but mastering these skills requires extensive practice and,unfortunately, current CT applications are inadequate [2]. Therefore, efficient development ofCT skills must start early with unplugged and age-appropriate technology [3]. However, theconcerns of many early childhood educators regarding children’s technology usage [4] oftenimpedes CT integration [5]. Additionally, educators may lack the necessary knowledge to usetechnology efficiently in the classroom due to the absence of mandatory courses in somecollege programs [4]. Educators often rely on previous screen usage studies and

Sudhir, from India, stated, “My mom and dad said, ‘Hey, you need to studyhard…higher education is very important’…they made it clear that with a good education, youget more choices on the kind of career you can pursue and the life you will have.” Jade, fromThailand, indicated her father “never treated me as I’m a girl…I was raised up being rightfullyindependent…he didn’t try to have me thinking to go get your masters and find a job and getmarried.” Similarly, Dahlia, from India, described her parents as “always encouraging me to dowell in school and

In contrast to the U.S.’s approach, many countries introduce their studentsto technical standards in grade schools and continue that education through high school [17].As of this time, ABET only accredits bachelor (four-year degree) and master (post-graduate)programs. Therefore, many graduate programs including doctoral programs do not hold graduatestudents to the technical standards educational exposure and requirements that they do theirundergraduate students. Educators who support graduate students (e.g., faculty, staff, engineeringlibrarians) have the added challenges of supporting both undergraduate and graduate students.Two examples

Hispanic-serving institutions have historically beenunderfunded, under-resourced, and typically lack the institutional capacity to adequately meetthe needs of the predominantly Latinx and low-income populations they serve [19, 20, 21].The institution offers Bachelors, Masters, and PhDs in a variety of STEM disciplines, includingcomputer science, and enrolls approximately 1,200 undergraduate students and 400 graduatestudents.
