Using this methodology, theory, andvisual demonstrations, it was relatively easy to clearly explain and teach histogram matching tothe students encountering for the first time. It was also possible for the students to master itsconcepts that too at a much higher level of rigor than was otherwise possible. Because of theclarity, there was no need to skim over material or avoid complex homework assignments.

Shealso provided us with some evidence on her prior knowledge and confidence about the topic: I have taken solid state courses all through my masters and um, after coming here, I couldn't take any solid state courses and this is my first one here, so but when I gave my qualifying exam, I did three questions in solid state and one question in a different topic, and pretty much, I got it on points in the solid state, so that’s why I like solid state, studying it and all it seems, it makes

Setting Goal Orientation: Goal orientation includes mastery goal orientation referring to concern with learning and mastering the task using self-set standards and self-improvement; extrinsic goal orientation focusing on getting good grades and pleasing others may be attained without much in-depth self-regulated learning; and relative ability orientation concern with comparing their performance with others. The instructors will instruct students to shift their focus from comparing their performance to peer to self-comparison toward mastery goal orientation. The mastery goal orientation can be reinforced by an expandable intelligence concept through linking their mastery of learning to

Though these data are limitedby the fact that fewer participants completed post –intervention than pre-intervention measures,it is notable that females initially lacked confidence in their ability to master these skills, yet afterexposure to the program, their level of confidence was very similar to that of the males.

However, there is a space for the two theories to worktogether, particularly when it comes to studying identities that are defined socially and performeddaily, e.g., engineering.For this paper, we use these theories to clarify differences between the two types of engineeridentity and address the ways that cultural definitions of engineering impact students in the dailyperformance of their identities.

Self-determination theory emphasizes thatpeople’s actions are driven by external systems (e.g., grades, incentives, rewards, etc.) as well asinternal factors (e.g., curiosity, self-satisfaction, interest, etc.). The theory consists of three basicpsychological needs to foster positive experience and well-being—autonomy, relatedness, andcompetence. Autonomy is an individual’s ability to be empowered to act of free will in a way thatis consistent with his or her interests and values. Relatedness is a desire to interact or connect withothers.
