during group work andcollaborative learning [26], [27], but the lack of negative results among both US and non-UScitizens is notable. An interesting question that these results do not address is whether cross-national interactions led to any overall declines in non-US citizens’ self-efficacy or self-confidence about their CS knowledge and skills (as opposed to comparisons with one’s partner).With the exception of driving role, the lack of effects of partners’ national origin among UScitizens is also noteworthy. Any linguistic or cultural challenges that US citizens encounteredmay been balanced out by the benefits of potentially different perspectives that non-US citizensbrought to these collaborations. It is also possible that the work of

Simply adding discussions can have a positive impact onstudents’ intrinsic motivation [19]. If we use Bonwell and Eison’s [20] definition of activelearning as “anything that involves students doing things and thinking about the things they aredoing,” the possibilities are vast. Nie and Lau [1] found adding small activities that encouragestudents to explore in-depth, analyze, discuss, write, apply, or question increased students’ deepprocessing strategies and increased self-efficacy. Felder and Silverman [21] also conclude that asmall number of techniques such as alternating lecture with pauses for

Table 1 shows that students in the twocohorts experienced similar emotional states during teaming, with the exception of their self-efficacy: 50% more of the students in the student-teamed cohort felt happy that they had somecontrol of the process. This is the only statistically significant difference in the question 1responses, and indicates that the student-formed teaming process resulted in the students feelingmore agency, while not significantly increasing anxiety.

Given the relatively small sample size, statisticalanalysis is expected to be largely descriptive, both aggregate and by subgroup, to report onproject implementation and progress toward performance measures. T-tests will be used todetermine significant differences in teachers’ self-efficacy survey responses from pre- to post-test.

Self-regulated learning has been studied over morethan two decades in general classroom settings and various assessment methods exist in theliterature. It is commonly agreed that self-regulation is a good predictor of student’s academicsuccess. For instance, relationships were examined in [1] among motivational orientation, self-regulated learning, and classroom academic performance, and their regression analyses revealedthat self-regulation, self-efficacy, and test anxiety emerged as the best predictors of performance.

Her original survey wasdesigned to gauge energy literacy which encompasses students’ energy-related knowledge,attitudes, and intentions/behaviors [17]. The original survey examined four categories relating tostudents’ understanding of energy: cognitive, affective, self-efficacy, and behavior. The studentsscored lowest on the cognitive questions, but they were aware of many of the issues surroundingenergy and the need for conservation. We selected a total of 43 questions that focused on threeprimary areas: students’ interest in energy topics, students’ pre-existing factual knowledge

The literature shows that educators with greater content knowledgedemonstrate greater comfort with PD in engineering as a discipline. This is not surprisingbecause developing PD for educators with content knowledge allows the developers of that PDto focus on discipline-specific content. Involving educators with little to no experience inengineering introduces issues of lower self-efficacy and differing level of empathy to studentswho will be in their classrooms.

Similar findings were reported by other educators [5, 8, 9].School programs with hands-on and manufacturing focuses –as compared to academicmathematics or pure science– would be attractive to students since they can relate the training toeveryday examples, potential employment, and even advanced careers. Some middle /highschools, however, limit the growth of their technology-related programs, robotics clubs, orSkillsUSA programs due to budget constraints and/or lack of technical expertise of teachers.

Consequently, he proposed that a learning environment needs to promote andmaximize collaboration, peer instruction, and social learning through discussion, collaboration,and feedback. Furthermore, Bandura proposed a social learning theory arguing that people canlearn new information and behaviors through socializing [26]. This theory guides educators torecognize how important it is to practice proper models of study skills and teamwork in theclassroom to construct self-efficacy of the learners.Social learning can be implemented in different ways, however, the main notion of

One student explains: “I think the program is verychallenging and intimidating; I wanted to apply but I do not know if I have the ability to do it.”Another respondent describes that being that it is a STEM degree, students need to be well-disciplined to manage this heavier course load and thus suggesting that it is not for everyone.Others expressed “being

, 2013 [3]) sums up the status of K-12education in the US. Several programs have been launched aimed at remedying this situation.Project-based active learning opportunities have been empirically determined to be effective in studentengagement and learning (Prince 2004 [4]; Thomas, 2000 [5]). Project-based learning environmentscan be designed to enhance teamwork, communication skills, understanding of application of STEM inreal life, and self-efficacy. Unfortunately, schools that primarily serve under-represented groups oftendo not have the resources to provide such learning environments. Simply stated, there is a longer-termneed to have more students target STEM related careers, and the best way to do this is via engaginghands-on project-based
