Survey items came from a previously validated measure [26,27] with items relatedto self-efficacy in conceptual design and prototyping (i.e., “tinkering”) with terminology relatingto space identification [31]; The survey also included questions regarding participant

Ford and coworkersreported similar confidence level trends in these self-efficacy items in a materials laboratorycourse.

The effectiveness of these MPactivities was measured through comparative analysis of course grade data with a baselinesection and entry and exit surveys administered in the MP section.

The authors described how these subcategories would need to becategorized properly in future revisions, but the idea is they heavily dictated a student’sconfidence and sense of belonging.Summarizing this listing, we concluded with a motivational category list of interventionsubcategories as follows: task-value interventions (e.g., utility-value, communal value), framinginterventions (e.g., self-efficacy, belonging), personal value interventions (e.g., valueaffirmations), mitigating stereotype threat, and changing attributions, as shown in Table 1.Donker et al (2014) conducted a meta-analysis on teaching strategies that help studentmetacognition and self-regulation to find which specific tactics

methods are increasingly being discussed [1] - [3]. Some concernswith grades include being an ineffective way to provide constructive feedback and demotivatingstudents [4]. Alternative grading strategies, including specifications grading, are gainingpopularity in higher education. Benefits of alternative grading methods include reduced studenttext anxiety [5], increased student self-efficacy [6], [7], similar or higher learning outputs [8],and higher grades in a subsequent course [9]. Many examples of alternative grading methods inengineering courses have recently been reported [10] - [15].In specifications grading, student work is scored pass/fail according to whether the assignmentsubmission meets the provided requirements, and the final grade
