] concluded that a fully-flipped statistics course for engineers enabled more personalizedlearning and instruction than a partially-flipped classroom. A study led by Motamedi [19]indicated that a flipped and “modified instructor-guided” pedagogy for a data analysis coursefor engineers yielded higher computational understanding and theoretical and statistical self-efficacy than a problem-based learning approach. However, problem-based learning tended toresult in higher self-efficacy for using data analysis software. Similarly, Huang et al. [20]found that students in a project-based learning intervention were more likely than those in anonline course to talk about the connection between statistics and their disciplines but notthemselves. They posited

) framework to provide undergraduate students with morepractice in tissue characterization. The framework involves structuring a multi-week lab thatintegrates theoretical foundations, bioinstrumentation background, experimental design, and dataanalysis. The goal of the framework is to enhance lab-based learning by providing opportunitiesfor students to incorporate multiple levels of Blooms Taxonomy. By consolidating theseopportunities into a multi-week module, we hypothesized that students would experience morereinforcement and thus self-efficacy with these experimental methods. For this study, we focusedon the development of a TDA module to measure apoptosis in tissue constructs using real-time,reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR

these experiments were visualized in real-time.To measure the key constructs associated with students’ success (motivation, epistemic andperceptual curiosity, and self-efficacy), data collection was done pre-and post-implementation ofthe experiments using the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) developed byPintrich, Smith, García, and McKeachie, in 1991. Also, the Classroom Observation Protocol forUndergraduate STEM (COPUS) was employed to characterize the simultaneous activities ofinstructors and learners during class sessions. More so, students’ understanding of the course andthe application of knowledge gained were evaluated using signature assignments.Data analysis was conducted using Statistical Package for Social

]. These brain cells are the building blocks for core human spatial reasoning and thought. Thenotion that learning and memory are neurobiological processes provides opportunities to explorehow pedagogical techniques might harness these known neurological processes to create andretrieve new (geospatial) thinking patterns in STEM education. Learning is possible because thebrain creates memories through altering the synaptic connections between specific neurons,stores them in connected ensembles of neurons, and retrieves them by reactivating those sameneurons and connections [23].A recipe for nurturing spatial literacy as a 4-step process includes self-efficacy, context, scaleand pedagogy [16]. First, self-efficacy (i.e., gender, experience, age

a professional educationcomponent consistent with the institution's mission and the program's educational objectives andpromotes diversity, equity, and inclusion awareness for career success [3]. "The need to feelbelongingness and linked with others" is how relatedness is defined (Baumeister and Leary [8]).According to studies, learning environments that provide a sense of connectedness to peers,parents, and instructors can enhance motivation and improve academic results (Ryan, et al. [9]).Self-efficacy, engagement, interest in school, higher grades, and retention have all beenconnected to feelings of relatedness, which are measured in terms of "school environment" andinstructor-student connections (Inkelas, et al. [10]). Research on
