, quantitative analysis for both face validity and contentvalidity evidence can be evaluated using various metrics. Face validity evidence for theinstrument was evaluated using Item Face Validity Index (IFV-I), Universal Agreement ScaleValidity (S-IFV/UA), and Average Scale Face Validity (S-IFV/Ave) [27]. The IFV-I indicatesthe percentage of raters who assign an item with clarity of 3 or 4. The S-IFV/Ave is calculatedby averaging the IFV-I scores across all items on the scale, or alternatively, the mean clarity andcomprehension ratings from all raters. The proportion of clarity is determined by averaging theindividual ratings provided by each rater. The S-IFV/UA refers to the proportion of items on thescale that receive clarity ratings of 3 or 4 from

to assess the frequency ofeducational technology use in the classroom and the instructors' beliefs related to learner-centered instruction. Houseknecht et al. [20] adopted Walters et al.’s [21] PostsecondaryInstructional Practices Survey (PIPS) to measure the teaching practices of university chemistryinstructors. Compared to the inventory, the survey instruments are designed over a theoreticalframework and can be organized into factors related to the assessed constructs. While inventoriescan characterize classroom teaching, surveys can be more specific and include constructs such asself-efficacy or teaching beliefs in their design.

The con for this method is not knowing how much to do to receive a higher grade.” “The lack of detailed instructions made me the most nervous at the beginning of the project, but as our group progressed, it turned out this was a non-issue and instead gave us more creative freedom to really let us make our project what we wanted it to be.”Discussion and Future WorkThe Engineering Museum Exhibit (EME) was overall a success. Students were encouraged to getcreative, and the resulting displays at the live showcase embodied the KEEN 3Cs. Using Guay etal.’s [24] pre-validated questionnaire

This model highlighted howentrepreneurs develop a "higher-order" cognitive process in nature to navigate and succeed intheir entrepreneurial pursuits. This study adjusted Haynie et al.’s entrepreneurial metacognitionmodel to build the conceptual model (Figure 1).
