These equations are shown in Figure 3, the typical lecture slides, as theyshould be. However, especially to the inexperienced student, this is likely just a mess ofmeaningless equations which they will simply follow blindly. Providing even a little context –making a connection between Q and the flexural buckling strength curve – at minimum will givestudents a better feeling for what the equations do.

Items were adapted fromidentified existing and relevant instruments, administered to a development sample, andevaluated and optimized for scale length (see 35, 37 and 38 for full descriptions of thedevelopment process). Once initial items were generated, think-aloud sessions were conductedwith undergraduate students to determine face validity [38]. During the second phase ofinstrument development, a pilot testing of the survey was conducted with data collected from133 participants.
