The one-on-one feedbackwas either given by the instructor of record or the graduate teaching assistant who had both ascience and technical writing background. The students then rewrote and submitted a finalversion of the section. This process was repeated for each scientific section covered by thecourse. Each course taken by Group A (FA22, SP23) covered different writing sections(Biomechanics: Methods, Results, Graphs, Tables, and Discussion; Biomaterials: Abstracts,Introductions, Hypothesis Formulation, and References).

. Since the 18thCPC National Congress, innovation has been given greater strategic importance in anew era characterized by myriad global challenges, especially[4]. In essence, STEMeducation is a kind of innovation in the underlying institutional structure. Byrebuilding the concept and model of talent training, it can achieve the sustainableoutput of innovative talents in line with current social and economic developmentneeds. In this context, China has joined the "movement" of STEM education andestablished the legitimacy of STEM education in the minds of the Chinese public bylaunching various reform measures at the level of Regulation, norms and cognition.

Role expectation was defined as “theteacher’s preferred program responsibility” and included three categories: classroom manager,helper, and learner. The categories were based on verbatim wording in the transcripts. Classroommanager referred to teachers having and using their pedagogical content knowledge regardingtheir classrooms. Helpers indicated a desire to help in whatever ways needed and included acombination of jobs such as classroom manager or to review lesson plans for pedagogicalcontent knowledge (e.g., timing and appropriateness of content for sixth grade).
