Having a method to measure learner self-efficacy is intrinsic to understanding the process ofdrawing skill development.The absence of an instrument to assess drawing self-efficacy prevents usfrom evaluating the impact of the intelligent tutoring system on user’s drawing self-efficacy. Hence,there is a need for an instrument that assesses drawing self-efficacy to make sure that studentsare mastering sketching and thereby gaining skills that contribute to their success in engineering.In addition, it is critical to gauge the drawing self-efficacy of individuals to compare traditionalpedagogy with new teaching methods such as intelligent tutoring systems.

PVT circuit required significantlymore skill than the previous labs and the remote setting made it a challenge to debug non-workingcircuits so the teaching team thought to implement this approach to building the circuit. Theconcern that it would be slow and tedious especially for students who were more independentended up being a non-issue; when students were asked if they prefer the step-by-step walk-throughto circuit building as a group or doing it individually, the great majority said they preferred thewalk-through. The slower pace and instructor led narration of each step helped students feel morecomfortable with the lab and perhaps master circuit building skills that they hadn’t yet masteredup to that point and may be why it was rated

When I become interested or excited by a project or problem in my life, I prefer to divert all my attention to mastering the project or solving the problem before returning to anything else. I demonstrate this in many aspects in my life.
