Emotional regulation is the ability to manage one’s own emotional response. Andlastly, mode switching is the task of applying analytic and empathic mechanisms at theappropriate times [6]. The next supporting area of practice orientation includes four components.Epistemological openness is the ability to value the experiences of others as important sources ofinformation. Micro to macro focus is contextualizing their work from effect on individuals toimpacts on global societal systems. Reflective value awareness is recognizing there are ethicalissues involved in engineering decisions and each engineer must

In addition, it is expected that these activities would ease learning anxieties for studentsat the early phase of learning programming and enhance their confidence by being engaged andable to perform the initial basic tasks on their own.The Vertical Non-Permanent Surfaces activities were introduced after the students werecomfortable with the basic programming concepts. The problem sets used for the VNPS activitiesare more complex and reflect real-world situations. Students are tasked with working on theseproblems in groups of three. Students first develop their solution approach individually. They thenmeet in their group to discuss their

Often these discussions will centeraround student explanations and solutions as a way of preparing them for independent work. Onhomework, students may consult their notes, textbook, and other resources such as a tutor or theinstructor. These assignments include multiple attempts and flexible deadlines and areconsidered complete once students earn an 80% or better. After the class preps and homework,there are in-class understanding checks (often in the form of quizzes or tests) as well as writingassignments.

But looking at thesplit of votes between perceived competence and self-efficacy in round #1 of sorting, there wasan almost equal split of votes between them, to the extent of one statement “I can persist in anengineering major during the next year” receiving 5 votes each for perceived competence andself-efficacy.

Data was recorded every two minutes for every category usinga set of established codes. Along with the codes, thorough notes were taken at each time interval,and an analytical memo was created after every observation. Given that every class had a similarweekday schedule, another important element was the class timetable. For the pilot study, theresearcher performed two classroom observations.

Students Sense of belonging statistically increased across the first semester for cohorts 2015 and2016, remained statistically the same for cohorts 2017, 2018, and 2021, and statisticallydecreased for cohorts 2019 and 2020 (fall 2020 is the COVID-cohort). Of particular note is thatthe largest decline in sense of belonging over the course of the first semester was during the 2020COVID cohort year. This suggests that the first-semester social experience for the COVID-cohort may havebeen negatively impacted and was reflected in their reported sense of belonging. While the effectsize is small for all cohorts, the 2020 (COVID-cohort) reported the highest effect size withCohen’s d = 0.30, up to three times larger than in previous cohorts

, particularly in the first year.IntroductionTeamwork is an important skill for engineering students and is often a key component of first-year engineering courses. Research has shown that to foster development of teamwork skills,activities should be carefully structured with ample opportunities for practice, constructivefeedback, monitoring, and reflection [1]. One well-established way to develop teamwork skills iscooperative learning, which is a structured form of group work [2]. Cooperative learning is basedon five important tenets: mutual interdependence, individual accountability, face-to-facesupportive interaction, guided practice of interpersonal skills, and regular self-assessment ofteam functioning [3].

This re-classification focuses onthe variables that are task-specific in regard to the assessment of outcomes essentially. Forinstance, academic self-description was used to measure self-efficacy in the paper it was pickedup from [20]. However, because Marsh [43] used academic self-description questionnaire toassess self-concept, it was adapted and reflected in this review. It was an added advantage thatMarsh [43] had used the academic self-description questionnaire to assess self-concept in theoriginal paper.Table 2: Re-classification of variables as pertaining to either academic or non-academicself-concept, or
