workshops were designed to help students think more creatively in their class projectsand practice a growth mindset [14] through short exercises demonstrating cognitive biases,barriers, and traps that prevent people from finding creative, novel solutions to problems.Thereby, we hope that students would be less likely to fall into these traps. According to a recentstudy by Burnette et al. [15], students in a growth mindset intervention, relative to the control,reported greater entrepreneurial self-efficacy and task persistence on their main class project andimprovement in their academic and career interests. Reducing the negative effect of the cognitivebiases, barriers and traps requires deliberate and repeated practice of CPS techniques. Althoughwe

This paper presents a CA of the domain- and context-specific FutureTime Perspective (FTP) items utilizing the FTP and Expectancy section. The FTP items containfive theoretical factors: Perceived Instrumentality (PI), Perceptions of the Future (F), Future onPresent (FoP), Value (V), and Connectedness (C). The Value and Connectedness items, adaptedfrom Husman and Shell [1], [12], were added based on previous qualitative FTP work

Within thecontext of assessing student self-efficacy, various facets of this assessment instrument touchedon the students’ self-measure of ability to accomplish specific tasks (e.g. Judgment, Item 3, “Ican apply different ethical frameworks to analyze an ethical problem.”) and reach specific goals(e.g. Confidence, Item 10, “I feel I can do something when I hear about bad

The cognitive measures indicate that students made significant gains in thefirst three components of Finks taxonomy (knowledge, application and integration). A follow-upto gauge how the students in this sequel compare to those who did not, especially in the cognitivedomain, would be quite interesting. The survey also show gains in the “caring” dimension of thetaxonomy which can also be tied to the “value” motivational theory.

For example, effective learning should not only include use of classroom clickers bythemselves, but also in engaging in social construction of knowledge by peer discussion ofclicker responses. The last suggestion is to facilitate implementation of innovation by workingwith peers through workshops and colloquia. This needs to be done to provide personal supportand build self efficacy for instructors who want to implement innovative materials and practicesin their classrooms. These concepts and ideas about implementation and diffusion of innovativeteaching materials in STEM were used to inform development of materials described in thispaper.Adaptation of more effective teaching and learning requires that new materials be not

Indicated advantages of active strategies include their increasedlikelihood (compared to lecture-based activities) to provide experiences that are significantenough to build connections as well as a strong association with improved self-efficacy.

. Since educational robotics activities are often designed to promote situated cognitionand learning, we believe that the lack of trust in robotics may adversely affect student’s cognitionand understanding of STEM concepts underlying the robotics lesson. Note that the concept of trustin robots for young age middle school students, who may have less experience with technologiesin general and robots in particular, may differ from the concept of trust in robots for moreexperienced technology persons, including the teachers. Moreover, it may be necessary to examinewhether different STEM disciplines and gender affect students’ trust levels in robots for theirrobotics-aided lessons.

An analysis of pre-college extracurricular activities and their mapping to engineering majors showed that traditionaldisciplines, such as MechE and EE, had more students tinkering with electrical or mechanicalcomponents outside of school prior to entering college[8]. When girls are not part of extracurricularrobotics programs, they miss vital opportunities to develop tinkering self-efficacy. If we can attract moregirls to participate in pre-college robotics, we may open a pathway for these students to developattitudes and self-beliefs that lead them to join majors with lower representation of women [6].Critical Engineering

These factors areaptitude factors, conscientiousness, openness, attitudes, self-esteem, and self-efficacy [8].Teaching in online mode encouraged the faculty to use the available technology which would notbe used in in-person classes otherwise, such as using iPads and tablets for writing lecturesinstead of writing
