STEM include thecreation of the “scientific possible selves” instrument, which assessed middle and high schoolstudents’ expectations, fears, hopes, and plans for a career in science [12, 27]. Anotherquestionnaire was developed to measure science career aspirations among elementary schoolstudents [28, 29]. A recent scale [30] extended the questionnaire by DeWitt and colleagues[28] to create an instrument with separate career aspiration scales, each consisting of fouritems, for five disciplines: science, technology, mathematics, engineering, and education.Similarly, for this study, we adapted items from the scale proposed by DeWitt and colleagues[28] to measure GS career aspirations. We selected this scale because it most closely alignedwith our

As expected, qualitative student responses show positiveimpact on students’ learning, programming skills development and attitudes towards robotics.Also, this work addressed various students’ robotic learning needs through a discussion of variousmyCobot computer hardware options.In the future, it is planned to extend the robotic tasks to obstacle detection and avoidance as wellas digital twins. Also, the use of cobots in education will be emphasized because of cobots safetyfeatures. Bibliography[1] J. Dewey, Experience and Education, Macmillan, N.Y., 1939.[2] D. A.

The fact that participants were recruited fromonly two clusters makes it possible that Research Group Experience registers a significantimpact on Sense of Belonging due to some unobserved research cluster characteristics. However,the insignificant standardized regression coefficient associated with membership in a particularcluster (Cluster2 in Model 3) suggests that Research Group Experience is relevant whenassessing the graduate experience.Next steps/Future workFor our next step, we plan another iteration of our survey.

In theseassignments, students are asked to apply new concepts and develop a program to solve apredefined problem. The instructor or TA reviews the work, uses a rubric to assess its accuracyor correctness, and slaps on a grade. Often, students read the grade, sometimes view thefeedback, and then they move on to their next task. As a result, students focus on the outcome oftheir work (does it solve the task presented or

Our analysis can support and extendprior research (4; 5; 11) by identifying persistent overemphasis or underemphasis on techni-cal aspects, the marginalization of non-technical or cross-disciplinary engagement, and thelack of coherent or clearly communicated objectives. These issues can lead to misalignedexpectations and limit a conference’s broader societal impact. By surfacing patterns, the larger research can inform more deliberate strategic planning,helping conference organizers design events that promote interdisciplinary dialogue, engagebroader communities

For the assessment, multiple choice questions using three levels ofabstraction including less-abstract, more-abstract, and fully-abstract are used to measurestudents’ level of knowledge acquisition between three stages: novice, competent, and expert[18]. The level of abstraction is defined as the degree of complexity of the concept of thought[19]. That is
