hoc, abductive analysis represents a dialectic “conversation” between dataand theory. Abductive analysis follows an iterative cycle of hypothesis generation that couldexplain unexpected findings and then exploration of potential hypotheses within the data, whichwill often result in new unexpected findings and refinement of hypotheses. Abductive analysis is“complete” once a new theory is generated that can explain the unexpected finding(s) and issupported by the data.Thus, in this paper, we attempt to address the following research question through abductiveanalysis: What theoretical formulation can help explain why female engineering students were more likely to experience innovation in more comprehensive ways than male

This shift precipitated the transition away from the more linear approach taken by 5Dick and Carey [3] to the circular design utilized by Morrison et al. [4], resulting in a Seminarthat places a greater emphasis on the continually iterative nature of instructional designcombined with the importance of continual assessment of instructional effectiveness

@uce.edu.ecAbstractThis study focuses on testing a pedagogical model designed to foster collaborativeentrepreneurship competencies in students pursuing technical careers. Entrepreneurship as a keycompetence for the economic and social progress of the country. However, the current training intechnical careers does not adequately cover the collaborative skills associated withentrepreneurship. The general objective was to test Moscoso´s pedagogical model that integratesspecific competencies, such as leadership, team communication, and team mediation, within thecurriculum of technical careers. The specific objectives focused on designing and proposing apedagogical model for the development of each of these competencies, comparing responses to aquestionnaire applied
to uncover the co-constructors' experiences with support(or lack of support) within their STEM department's academic culture and in context to theiridentity as a Black student. Example questions from the interview protocol include: How if atall, are your lived experiences in STEM influenced by you being Black? How would you describethe culture of your STEM program for Black doctoral students? and How is the experience ofBlack students in your program different compared to non-Black students? After the interview,we distributed a $50 Amazon e-gift card to the co-constructors.Positionality In alignment with Secules et al.’s (2021) conceptualization of positionality, weconsidered various facets of our team's positionality during this study

What follows is a largely oral history gathered and consoli-dated from UGA engineering faculty members, all of whom wish to remain anonymous.By the late 1800’s, the state of Georgia had two engineering colleges, UGA and the Georgia In-stitute of Technology (hereafter known as Georgia Tech). UGA graduated its first engineeringstudents in 1868. However, during the Depression in the 1930’s, the state determined it could notafford to fund two engineering colleges and decided to focus the engineering program at

The assessment system captured whether ornot she inputted the correct answer, not whether or not she actually understood the material. Theother student described not trying as hard or learning as much in classes because of open notetests and being able to drop her worst grade(s).
