students’ learning if it is not integrated in the classroombased on sound educational theories [27], [31].We aimed to ensure student engagement and learning by promoting self-efficacy, one’s beliefthat one can successfully complete a specific task [32], [33], because it helps determine whetherstudents engage with tasks, persist when they face difficulties, and finish tasks. Masteryexperiences (actually performing a task and succeeding) can increase self-efficacy [34],especially when they are built on achieving proximal goals - smaller tasks that are almostguaranteed to be completed successfully. Since self-efficacy is domain-specific [35], wehypothesized that low visuospatial self-efficacy could be one of the main reasons of whystudents disengage

of preparation in math and science as a challenge to becoming anengineer [5]. David Bressoud, who wrote the summary of findings of MAA’s National Study ofCollege Calculus study, writes that while students who enroll in Calculus 1 are generally bothtalented and confident, that “one of the clearest conclusions to come out of our study was howeffective this course is in destroying that confidence” [2].How do we bolster students to help them survive their first semester math class? Prescribingstudents drill-and-kill exercises to get better at applying math concepts was certainly an option,but the instructors wanted to go further in hopes of shifting the self-efficacy, metacognitive skillsand epistemic beliefs of the ESBP participants. The desire
