session[13]. Similarly, a key goal of NEO at UW is for participants to feel comfortable and confident ontheir first day of teaching. Because the Imperial College London training is for students of onespecific department, they offer a seminar to ensure that TAs are aware of all relevant processesand procedures within that department (e.g. expectations of the role, how to address seriousproblems in their taught sessions, how to claim payment). Some of these topics, such asaddressing problems, are also offered at NEO, but specifics about payment are not possible in amulti-department training session. Both training programs prepare handouts to help TAs developtheir self-efficacy [14]; at UW-Madison, for example, TAs are given a timesheet so they

WATTS trainingprovides generalist tutors with the background knowledge and self-efficacy to engage STEMstudents in meaningful conversations about their reports and reinforce the students’understanding and application of rhetorical principles.Given that the tutors’ focus is on writing and students’ ability to express their ideas in anunderstandable way, only two of the nine Universal Intellectual Standards of the Paul-ElderCritical Thinking Framework [7] apply to the writing tutoring session. They are: 1) Clarity: Could you elaborate further? Could you give me an example

On the other hand, in some cases, students’ reactions to these lower gradesinclude stress, frustration, weaker engineering identities, lower self-efficacy, and sometimes evenleaving engineering programs [8], [9], [10], [11], [12].Research ContextFirst-Year Engineering CourseThe context of this study is a First-Year, General Engineering (GE) program at a large, public,land-grant university that serves an average of 2,300 students each semester. The GE programcan be taken as a one-semester 4-credit hour course (if specific pre-requisite credits aretransferred in) or as a two

Peer instruction has been shown to be effective in upper and lower level courses,improving student achievement, satisfaction, and self-efficacy. Peer instruction even improvesretention rates in introductory level programming courses. Peer instruction is effective formultiple reasons. Firstly, the questions that replace lecturing are specifically designed to fosterinteraction with course content. Secondly, students make use of classroom time to practice andask their peers questions, actively engaging with material as opposed to passively listening tolectures.Pair programming is the practice of two programmers sitting side-by-side on one computer

The current study thereforeseeks to examine the impacts of an experiment-centric pedagogy on curiosity and the learningoutcome of learners in terms of performance over two academic semesters. Experiment-centricpedagogy has been implemented in other STEM fields and has been reported to improvemotivation and self-efficacy. The choice of industrial engineering was made because of its strongemphasis on practical problem-solving abilities in addition to theoretical understanding.

Further, the students viewed the reflective practice favorably.To increase student engagement with the SBG system, we implemented a co-creation processwith the rubric [15]. The use of co-created rubrics is an inclusive teaching practice that canimprove confidence and self-efficacy [5]. It speeds up future detailed feedback, as the studentsand instructors have a similar understanding about the elements of the rubric and may enhanceself-regulated learning [5]. In our course, proficiency in the standards was evaluated accordingto the co-created rubric (as shown in

widespread adoption ofsustainable, decarbonized energy systems. The goals of the Ohio State EmPOWERmentProgram were developed by twelve faculty in departments across six colleges within theuniversity, in consultation with external stakeholders who work in industry, U.S. nationallaboratories, and non-profit organizations. These stakeholders are ensconced in various aspectsof the field of sustainable energy. Together, this process identified important attitudes,experiences, and core competencies necessary to support three-overarching program goals: 1. Prepare a diverse cohort of versatile graduates with the innovation capacity, self-efficacy, and collaborative capacity to influence positive change in the transition to environmentally

The Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) was used to assesskey constructs related to student success, such as motivation, epistemic and perceptual curiosity,and self-efficacy [34], [35]. Student success was determined by the academic performance ofstudents who received ECP doses in different classes and across the gender spectrum.Furthermore, the fundamentals of ECP and the classroom observation protocol are implementedto effectively integrate ECP into the Biology Discipline.Student participation in ECP was evaluated using the Classroom Observation Protocol forUndergraduate STEM(COPUS), developed by Smith et al.

The in-service teachers’ beliefs about the purpose and role of instruction impactthe ways in which they may adopt curricular content and technological tools in their classroom.Thurm and Barzel [4] explored the complex relationship between mathematics teachers’ beliefsand technology use. One of their findings highlighted teacher self-efficacy in implementingtechnology when more integrated, constructivist methods were present. Not unsurprisingly,technology in the classroom tends to be more difficult for teachers with more of “a proceduralfocus than an explorative one” (pp. 57) [4].

perceptions of team teaching remain acrossdifferent disciplines and are held by students from diverse backgrounds [8].The literature unequivocally supports the benefits of team teaching. Recent studies [2], [9] havefound that team teaching enhances student knowledge and satisfaction and attributed this successto the diverse instructional perspectives and the heightened level of support. Team teaching isalso effective at boosting student self-efficacy and team skills [10]. Furthermore, team teachingfacilitates instructors' professional development. Many authors [1], [6], [11] report thatinstructors who team teach are more likely to adopt evidence-based strategies, critically self-reflect on their courses, and learn innovative teaching techniques.

, computerized simulation models have thepotential to be utilized as a learning tool in many different contexts and disciplines as theyprovide a virtual and risk-free environment that facilitates experimentation, what-if analysis, andinquiry-based learning [8]. Immersive simulations can enhance affective and cognitive factorssuch as interest, intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, embodiment, and self-regulation, and lead tofactual, conceptual, and procedural knowledge as well as transfer of learning [9].
