participate but also to explain theimportance of AI in science to their peers and community. This enabled scholars to feel apersonal connection as their scientific project was envisioned within a real-world context. Figure 2. Google Teachable Machine [16].Measures and data sourcesThe self-reports of the children’s self-efficacy for AI were collected via a survey administeredon Qualtrics before and after the Shark AI program. Self-efficacy for AI was assessed using anadapted version of the original Science subscale (9 items) and the Technology and Engineeringsubscale (9 items) of the widely used 37-item S-STEM questionnaire developed by NorthCarolina State University’s Friday Institute [19].

formative times in their computing education [6, 8]. There have been many attempts at developing novel approaches to support various aspects of programming metacognition, improve self-efficacy, and provide automated feedback and assessment for students in introductory programming courses [5, 6, 8]. Programming metacognition can be broadly defined as how students think about programming and the problem-solving strategies they employ to achieve a goal when given a programming task [9]. However, most of these methods have yet to be successfully scaled and applied in the classroom. Previous studies suffer from issues such as being too small, difficult to validate or replicate, and software that is not shared or is abandoned

] and measured to what extent students felt included,valued and respected. We used this scale with the purpose of exploring students’ sense ofbelongingness, specifically in CS, and modified the items to include “in computing.” Adefinition of computing was also included, “Computing is defined as doing things like making anapp, coding, fixing a computer or mobile device, creating games, making digital music, etc.”Sample questions then asked students to indicate the extent to which they agreed with statementssuch as, “I feel comfortable in computing” and “Compared with most other students at myschool, I know how to do well in computing.”Self-Efficacy: Self-efficacy captures students’ beliefs that they can accomplish designated tasks[38] related to

research exists on theuse of case studies to motivate non-STEM majors to study technological topics, particularly incontexts where hands-on technology activities complement the case study by exploring itsunderlying themes and demonstrating the significance of the technology. In this course, the casestudies serve an additional purpose; they provide real-world examples of the impact of eitherembracing or ignoring a new technology.Self-efficacy refers to the confidence in one’s ability to accomplish specific tasks, and enhancingstudents’ self-efficacy increases the likelihood of achieving desired outcomes [4, 5]. Researchacross various disciplines highlights the critical role of experiential learning in buildingself-efficacy. For example, educators

in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) professions haslong been a problem, especially among minority and female students. According to studies,structural impediments such as a lack of mentorship, limited access to research opportunities,and budgetary restrictions disproportionately affect these populations [1], [2]. To address thesediscrepancies, the ARROWS program at North Carolina A&T State University has taken aholistic strategy that focuses on mentorship, hands-on research, and a supportive academicatmosphere.Mentorship, defined as experienced persons guiding mentees through academic and professionalproblems, has been demonstrated to dramatically increase retention rates [3]. For example, itpromotes self-efficacy

A heuristics evaluation [16, 17] of the user interface will be conducted toensure that usability principles are followed to provide a user interface with inclusivity andaccessibility (RQ2). A Likert scale will be adapted from Bandura’s (1989) MultidimensionalScales of Perceived Self-Efficacy [18] to explore participants' self-regulatory efficacy (RQ3).Planned InterventionThe proposed study will combine elements of both exploratory and quasi-experimental

Analysis of students’survey responses shows that real-time feedback and unlimited submission attempts helpedstudents assess their learning progress and motivated them to continuously improve theirsolutions. Instant feedback and unlimited submission attempts were regarded by students aslikely having positively impacted academic integrity in the course. The effect of automatedfeedback and optional assignments on students’ need to visit office hours is explored.Implications for future pedagogical practice and research are discussed.IntroductionTimely and effective feedback provided to students on their submitted work has the potential tosignificantly enhance learning, improve student self-efficacy, reduce drop-out rates, and

Engineering Education, 2024 Work in Progress: Community College Student Experiences with Interdisciplinary Computing Modules in Introductory Biology and Statistics CoursesAbstractInterdisciplinary professionals with both domain and computing skills are in high demand in ourincreasingly digital workplace. Universities have begun offering interdisciplinary computingdegrees to meet this demand, but many community college students are not provided learningexperiences that foster their self-efficacy in pursuing them. The Applied ProgrammingExperiences (APEX) program aims to address this issue by embedding computing modules intointroductory biology and statistics courses at community colleges. Here, we describe an

teachers in rural areas. It measures teachers’ perceptions about rural life, activities and behaviors as well as relationships with persons in the rural community.The RIS showed an acceptable internal reliability of α = 0.72−0.83 which boasts of its effectiveness in capturing rural identity. The teacher mindset survey, carved out of [47] and [48], was avital instrument in supplying the valuable insights into diverse aspects of teachers’ mindsets. It measures parameters such as concerns on social comparison, self-efficacy, comfort being oneself, measurement of task value, as well as the perceived costs of participating in the training program.

the curriculuminclude anxiety [9], self-efficacy [10], attitude, perceived ease of use/technology acceptance [11]and perceived usefulness. Furthermore, there is evidence that suggests that as the number ofinstructional technologies available at institutions grow, faculty are less likely to use them [12]due to lack of interest/capacity to use the tool, self-efficacy and personal ideals in pedagogy.Trouble points in utilization include underestimating the complexities of using any newtechnology including formulation of instructor comfortability and knowledge as well as the timerequired to deliver courses using different technology platforms [13-15].Schroeder [16] recently projected a short-term vision of AI in higher education, including

Class tests also revealed challenges associatedwith scaffolding both students and teachers at these grade levels and levels of experience orinterest in computational subjects. Students struggled with algorithmic design in particular,which made it harder for them to complete the capstone projects in the curricula. There werealso lessons learned about robust design and instrumentation of physical devices in classes thatmight only use them for a short period of time, posing hurdles for both students and teachers.Software affordances developed for programming and analyzing

institutionalchange, leading some teachers to question the feasibility of long-term CS integration.To support teachers in their professional development, the program offered reimbursement for upto two attempts at the CS teacher certification exam, upon submission of receipts. One teacher,who taught business and math, successfully passed the exam after studying the program’smaterials and engaging with coding exercises. While passing the exam was a measurable success,many teachers explored and implemented engaging CS activities in their classrooms. Teachersintegrated CS concepts in various ways, such as through after-school clubs, free-time activities, orelective courses. Some used program resources to support projects like Unity game development,robotics, and
