one’s capacity to organize and execute the courses of action required to produce givenattainments” (p. 3) [22]. Bandura identified four primary sources of self-efficacy: masteryexperiences, vicarious experience, verbal persuasion and physiological states [23]. Self-efficacybeliefs have been understood to be strong predictors of behavior [24].Self-efficacy beliefs are not inherent or global traits of an individual; rather, they are “active andlearned systems of belief held in context” (p. 754) [25]. Thus, an instructor may feel high levelsof teacher self-efficacy in particular teaching tasks or domains and lower levels of teacher self-efficacy in others. Scales used for measuring teacher self-efficacy ask teachers to rate their levelof

Instructional modality was also effect coded as a dichotomous variable(remote = -1 vs. traditional = 1).Additional scales used in this study included those associated with task value, self-efficacy,participation, TA support, faculty support, and positive emotional engagement.

class projects. Cross-disciplinary experiences betweenengineering and education students have shown potential to help students developcommunication skills [3, 4]. In addition, students develop self-efficacy in their discipline throughparticipating in cross-disciplinary experiences [5]. Cross-disciplinary experiences also helpstudents learn to value expertise outside their area of study and appreciate the limitations andconstraints of information in other fields [6]. Course instructors can also benefit from sharingresponsibility for a course and learning about other disciplines [7].The unfamiliarity of cross-disciplinary activities can lead to frustrations despite their manybenefits. Students often struggle to connect topics from other

problem, they must be able to reflect about what their reasonings are inorder to monitor and assess what they do or do not understand, what information is missing, andwhether new information is consistent to their current understanding. Metacognition is a type ofinternal dialogue that must be practiced, much like many other skills. Another important theme, though not emphasized in How People Learn is engagement.Student cognitive engagement includes topics concerning their intrinsic and extrinsic motivation,identification with academics, and self-efficacy. Common sense says if students want to learn,feel they can learn, and feel that others believe they can learn, then they will be more successfulthan those who do not. A great article to be

… he has a Ph.D.! Or, ifthe TA is an international graduate student, they assume, All international students are good atscience. But if they see another undergraduate who can explain the work to them, they realize,Hey, if she can do the problem, so can I! Such a TA is a “peer model,” and peer models areeffective in promoting “self-efficacy,” the belief that, by performing in a certain manner, one canachieve certain goals.There is also an advantage to hiring the best student you can find who has taken the course fromyou. This is because that student understands the material as you have taught it, and thus isbetter able to answer student questions on your lectures and assignments. As a TA, (s)he is alsoqualified to grade papers; if the student’s

The authors provide empiricalevidence suggesting active procrastinators do considerably better than passive procrastinators interms of time use, self-efficacy belief, extrinsic motivation, stress-coping strategies, have higherGPA's and lead less stressful lives than passive procrastinators.The literature has shed light on various concerns that affect procrastination and how we perceiveits negative impact on student learning.

The PhET deployment is targeted to evaluate theimpact of providing visual interpretations of physics concepts. The results will be in the form ofstudent self-evaluations and instructor observations in regard to the impact of these tools onstudent learning.BackgroundTwo existing challenges of the engineering educational process targeted by ITS products are:  Students do not receive timely feedback on voluminous and complex practice work.  Student understanding of concepts is improved through timely viewing of a visual model

paper.Conclusions and discussionIn this paper we reported on three studies that focused on examples of adding ClassTranscribeinto multiple engineering classes with multiple goals of improving digital accessibility,self-efficacy in the course (i.e., self confidence and self-beliefs in succeeding in their major) andeffectiveness (at all levels of student ability). Learning outcomes and examples of adoption werepresented under a diverse set of educational uses including use as a primary source of lecturecontent (CS, Spring 2019), secondary or supplemental review of recorded live lectures (ECE,CS,Fall 2019,Spring 2020) and pre-lab training for lab techniques and equipment use(Bioengineering, Spring 2020).

: “This course had the greatest impact on be mainly because of the instructor. I decided to come to graduate school, and to pursue a career in academia, right after taking this class. The professors teaching style was so engaging that it made me want to learn more about the topics covered in class. Even though I am not specializing in the specific area of that class (fluid mechanics and water resources), this class introduced me to the notion of wanting to learn more than what is covered in textbooks.”Eight participants indicated the course’s impact on their own self-efficacy.
