Except for interactions with teammates, all behavior metrics were positively andsignificantly linked to the EI dimension that measured how much they were perceived as a goodengineer by their professors and peers. Similarly, when a student was perceived as a goodengineer by their peers, he or she tended to do a better job keeping the team on track (B.2), at asignificance level of 0.001. Results were detailed in Appendix Table A.4.Teamwork behaviors were linked to team conflicts in modest ways. Students who ratedthemselves lower on interactions with teammates tended to

An example of Interest is “I found fulfillment in doingengineering ”.Self-perceptions and definitions were operationalized as students’ personal and social attributeswhile learning. Two underlying factors were used to measure self-perception and definitions:Self-efficacy (3 items; α= .83; ω=.86) and Self-concept (3 items; α= .73; ω=.78) [26-28]. All self-perceptions and definitions questions were listed in one block with the following prompt “Pleaseconsider how confident you were today in the camp”. Self-efficacy was defined as students’ self-assessment in solving content related problems. An example of Self-efficacy is “I

Thebroader study also examines sociocognitive influences, such as self-efficacy beliefs andacademic adjustment, in students’ socio-academic experiences. While findings from thispreliminary analysis appear to undermine research that has consistently documentedunderrepresented minorities (URM) students’ negative experiences in STEM classroomsbroadly, and within engineering classrooms specifically, we intend to analyze these andadditional data using social network analysis, which we believe may be better suited forunderstanding students’ socio-academic

While compared to their maleengineering students, women’s self-perception of their performance and skills in Engineering arelower which could contribute to decreased desire in choosing and remaining in Engineering.Similarly, themes on the shared experience of Engineering identity (Huff, Smith, Jesiek,Zoltowski, & Oakes, 2019)showcase that stable career patterns are associated with higherdegrees of self-efficacy. According to (Byrnes, 1998) self-efficacy beliefs directly impactdecision-making behaviors in a way that college students with higher self-efficacy abilities aremore prone to

The high school levelfactors that were found to be significant predictors for college STEM major declaration includethe student’s family background, high school STEM GPA, and measures for math/scienceidentity. The findings are mixed and suggest further research is needed, particularly indisaggregating the math/science self-efficacy, identity, and utility measures, as well as ininvestigating potential differences in major choice by field separately
additional benefit of thevideo project that positively impacted student learning outcomes.As we have only run this project for one semester, we have several ways that we would like toimprove. One major improvement would be the addition of better control cases. In the future, foreach demonstration video we create, we would like to show it to one lecture section of the class.However, we will record student enjoyment and self-efficacy data from both a lecture sectionthat saw the demonstration, and one that did not. This will enable us to better understand theimpact of the video demonstrations, as we will be able to measure the impact of the video, whilecontrolling for the difficulty of the content being presented. We also would like to
learning goals in a bid to improve their learning [8]. Also, by self-assessingtheir learning, students are brought into the learning process thereby making them active and notpassive contributors to their own learning [6]. On the other hand, instructors also find self-assessments to be valuable as they take advantage of it to improve students' self-efficacy therebymaking the students commit to learning outside of the classroom [6], [7], [10]. It was found in anengineering course that final grades were higher for students who took self-assessmentscompared to those that didn’t [11]. As a result, Baisley [11] argued that self-assessment eitherimproves the performance of students or that high-performing students are more likely to takeself

So, one of the big themes … is self-efficacy. Given a problem, figure out how to solve it. Right. It’s open ended. Is that right? You may not be the technical expert. You may not be even aware of the background, but it's on you to figure it out. And you can do it right. You don't you don't need to be an expert to solve a problem.

This concept aligns with the notion ofself-efficacy [36], where actions are contingent upon one’s belief in their capability to performthem, as acknowledged the authors: “It can be seen that our definition of perceived behavioralcontrol…is very similar to Bandura’s conception of self-efficacy” [4, p. 155].

(2017) examines the effects of activelearning and flipped classroom pedagogies on motivation and design confidence, which can havea positive effect on mental health in the classroom [27]. The study by Lee et al., (2020) highlightsthe critical role that academic self-efficacy plays in fostering mental health and academic successby examining the relationship between test anxiety and academic self-efficacy as predictors ofacademic performance [28].Exemplar Studies: The conclusions drawn from the two studies discussed in this section providea vital direction for formulating approaches that tackle the substantial influence of exam anxietyon
could spend on research [4].While a career in academia typically requires research, teaching, and service, most doctoraldegrees in the United States are conferred at research intensive universities, where researchaccomplishments are prioritized over instructional training for future faculty members[5]. However, as some engineering PhD students wish to pursue a more teaching-focused careerat a PUI, or a primarily undergraduate institution, these future faculty members eventually findthey did not feel adequately prepared for their career [1].Further investigation on the self-efficacy regarding instruction for engineering PhD students isneeded. Specifically, there is a need to better understand which areas of instruction self-efficacyare related
such as identification, commitment,interconnectedness and cultural intelligence. These concepts draw on extensive research in socialidentity theory, self-efficacy theory, the human need for social connectedness, and research on howcultural intelligence enables people to work more effectively with culturally diverse others.In addition, the COI survey aligns well with the focus of NSF on cultivating an inclusiveprofessional culture within ERCs. This culture is characterized by open-mindedness, fairness,collaboration, respectfulness, and encouragement of professional growth. These factors echoexisting research on inclusive environments and their role in motivating individuals, drivinginnovation, and fostering creativity in diverse teams. Although

multidimensional theory that considered both a person’s beliefs abouttheir success and potential value of the outcome could be created [14]. At a high-level, EVTposits that a person’s motivation is a combination of two primary factors: their expectations ofsuccess (the expectancy) as well as the worth or importance attached to the outcome (the value)[15]. The expectancy half of a person’s motivation is a combination of a person’s self-efficacy,expectancies, self-concept, perceived control over a situation, and the attributions associated withan outcome, whereas the value portion considers their psychological needs, the intrinsic vs.extrinsic value of the outcome, the utility of the outcome, as well as its cost [14].

The outcomesidentified by focus group participants included enhanced conceptual understanding (ST11),increased confidence in problem solving (ST9), better grades (ST11, ST12) and betterknowledge retention (ST10), particularly after some time (ST12). The three student responsesalso illustrated the importance they placed on understanding the course structure (ST9) and theconnections among topics (ST9, ST10). It was also a math-based course, but the whole course was structured around problems. We started the class every day with a problem

This still gives a measure of relative usage when comparing across papers.Refer to Table 8 for our custom dimension findings related to the following discussion. Allpapers used generic study jargon (e.g., data, research, etc.). While all papers used somedemographic jargon, they primarily communicated age, race, and sex dimensions ofdemographics rather than meaningfully discussing location or socioeconomic status. EnEdJargon was unsurprisingly the highest category for most papers [17]–[19], [22]. Besides thegeneric eID Jargon, these papers tended to focus on the identity dimensions of attitude,intersectionality, and mentors rather than self-efficacy or competence. Besides the

Performance/competence is theorizedto be an advanced measure of self-efficacy [36] – also linked to student retention in CS [72] –and shown to have a direct effect on students’ interest and persistence in CS [36]. Finally, wewill also add social-benefit interest

Epistemic belief, which reflects students’ views on the nature ofknowledge and knowing, plays a crucial role in the cognitive, metacognitive, and affectivedimensions of students’ learning. Research has demonstrated that interventions targeting epistemicbeliefs can significantly enhance learning outcomes (Greene et al., 2018). Epistemic cognition -mostly measured in terms of belief (Greene et al., 2018) – is identified as the apex of

While the study revealedgains in technology and communication self-efficacy ratings among students, there was a declinein engineering self-efficacy, highlighting the need for further guidance to bridge the gap betweengameplay and academic content. Despite some challenges, the study recognized the potential ofvideo games to enhance student engagement and understanding of engineering principles,particularly regarding rapid iteration and practical application of the design process. Additionally,qualitative feedback underscored students' enthusiasm for the game but emphasized theimportance of clear connections between gameplay and learning objectives. Overall
