The goal is to assist theteachers without adding additional work, but increasing student interest in STEM.Research has shown that girls and women are particularly

Table 2 shows themeasures and the survey questions related to each measure.Each measure was based on Likert scale and/or personal/demographic questions. The sevenlevels of the Likert scale were: 1 = Strongly Agree (SA), 2 = Disagree (D), 3 = Mildly disagree(MD), 4 = Neither agree nor disagree (N), 5 = Mildly agree (MA), 6 = Agree (A), and 7 =Strongly agree (SA).Table 2Measures and the Related Questions Measures Questions Self-Confidence

engineering technology for elementary students Abstract Mentoring is being prevalently used in higher education. Traditionally, these programsare unidirectional that includes forward knowledge transfer. The internal mechanism of howto form an effective mentoring relationship between mentors and mentees is unclear. This pilotstudy focused on Person-Environment (P-E) fit perspective and zeroed in on how the mentor-mentee relationship affect mentees’ self-efficacy. We conducted semi-structured interviews withthree mentees to explore how P-E fit affected their self-efficacy. This qualitative study is a pilotstudy, future data collection and analysis will continue

One of the subfactors of GoalOrientation, “Classroom Mastery Goal Structure” shows a similar slightly higher value orengineering students and seems related to these constructs.Leadership, found to be slightly different, showed some subfactors (“planning” and“motivation”) to be comparable to Teamwork; other

Parentaleducational level (i.e., completed a bachelor’s) is used as a measure of first-generation college student.The measure of high school preparedness evaluates students’ math and science experience. For instance,students respond to semester of math in high school, math/science course completed, whether advancedplacement courses were offered, and perceived college math preparedness. Students indicated their pathstudents followed to CM major, institutional and curriculum, and future plans.

Psychological instructionmodel of Expandable Intelligence (EI) is established based on new psychological findings thatlearners’ belief on their intelligence has a profound influence on their motivation to learn. Withthe belief that intelligence can be expanded (as opposed to the view of fixed intelligence),learners are able to attribute their successes or failures to factors within their control (e.g. efforton a task, or effective use of strategies) rather than their ability. They can be motivated to uselearning strategies and persist in their learning efforts for expanding their intelligence21.6.2 Enhance Students’ MotivationAs

not to teach the topic, or teach the subject in asuperficial manner [17]. Since the teachers have a paramount impact on students’ futurecareer choices, the first step to enhance students’ interest in STEM fields is to improveteachers’ confidence and self-efficacy with engineering and STEM concepts. Onceteachers have a chance to learn and implement engineering principles, they arecomfortable sharing this knowledge with their students and can present the connectionsbetween math, science, and engineering and the real world [18]. In light of these issues,it’s critical to develop professional development activities to expose teachers to authenticexperiential learning activities and help teachers to improve their abilities and knowledgein these

In this study, we defined academic success as a combination ofacademic achievement (e.g., grades and GPAs), attainment of learning outcomes (e.g., studentengagement and proficiency profile), and acquisition of skills and competencies (e.g., criticalthinking and problem solving) [4]. We defined student motivation to include expectancy beliefs(i.e., self-efficacy, attributions, and control beliefs), value choices (i.e., goal orientation, interest,and importance), and meta-cognition (i.e., self-regulated learning) [5].
