Results of Gitsham et al.’s [28] survey of CEOs and other executives focus on how softskills and hard skills are beneficial for leaders at all levels of the organization. Specifically,acquisition of interpersonal skills may provide added benefits of knowing and understanding ofhow to interact with people with different cultures and apply the skills to improve organizationalperformance. Soft skills are a set of interpersonal and social skills, whereas hard skills includethe technical or administrative procedures in which the results are quantifiable and measurable[43

That is, the perceived quality of the literaturehas no weight on its appearance in a final scoping review although both types have inclusion andexclusion criteria. ScLRs assist to identify gaps in literature as well as direct researchers towardsspecific questions for a systematic literature review by rapidly mapping the key concepts, sources,and existing evidence [5-6]. Most ScLRs do not have formal appraisal mechanisms (ratings usedto assign merit to determine inclusion or exclusion) for the literature being reported in

Given the rapid development of both K-12engineering and integrated STEM, it is critical that researchers have access to valid and reliableinstruments to determine the efficacy of different teaching and curricular approaches related toboth teacher effectiveness and student learning. The lack of a protocol designed specifically forsuch teaching will lead to reliance on the use of teacher self-report data or the use of protocolsthat measure “just good” teaching without consideration of the nature of the discipline(s) beingtaught.

The instructional design agent’s role can bedefined as the set of responsibilities and activities that fall within an agent’s intended purpose,which when viewed holistically, demarcate its position or part to play within the designchallenge.In light of this definition, we turn to three points of consideration needed to develop this role:what design intelligence will the agent(s) embody, what specific types of roles will the designagent(s) assume and how many design agents should be employed.We discuss the design intelligence agents embody first, as this has implications for the
