Since values concern internal states, they can onlyultimately be accessed reflectively, through self-reports.

Departmental climate data is the basis for self-reflection, not a research project. Data analysis in this context is fundamentally different in two ways. First, the people interpreting the data produced the data and thus have the necessary capacity to clarify and expand the meaning of the data that are available. Second, while research requires the interpreter to observe and analyze the data, climate data requires the interpreter to personally respond and, in many cases, consider

Alternatively, in a case study, thirty-eight percentof civil engineering students included informal learning as contributing experience to theirleadership development [17], a concept backed up by a large-scale Canadian study ofundergraduate engineering students highlighting that leadership development takes place inextracurricular activities [18].

The authors concluded thatfor all the attention focused on performance on standardized tests, coursework, orexpected work–family orientation, gender differences in these variables offer remarkablylittle leverage to explain gender differences in STEM major selection.Ceci, Williams and Barnett (2009) claim that there are gender differences in occupationalpreferences that occur between objects and people. Women are more likely to pursuepeople-oriented or organic fields, whereas men with similar mathematics and scienceability tend to pursue object-oriented fields. The research supports a common belief thatgender differences in occupational preferences reflect women’s deeply rooted preferencesfor caring or nurturing, that

This feedback is then used by instructors to adjust and improve their instruction and bythe students to reflect on their own learning, correct their misconceptions, and revise theirlearning strategies at an early stage. Providing students with the opportunity to self-assess theirlearning, receive feedback, identify, and correct misconceptions, and revise and refine theirlearning strategies has implications for promoting self-directed, self-regulated life-long learning.

Also, female students in the credit/no credit cohort had lower testscores compared to predictions relative to male students. When combined, these results suggestthat students who chose credit/no credit were experiencing lower test scores relative to thoseexpected based on prior math course grades before the credit/no credit option was even known tobe available. Thus, the observed credit/no credit differences relative to predictions of studentperformance likely reflected other confounding factors outside of changes in student motivationdue to the knowledge of the credit/no credit option.

sophomore level courses, e.g. math courses,statics, dynamics, etc. Intellectual growth then progresses towards problems rooted in relativismand commitment. At these stages, students take a more open-ended problem and work to furtherdefine the problem using justified assumptions and provide evidence-based answers.Transitioning to these higher levels of cognition is challenging for students [26]. Therefore, asstudents transition from dualism to relativism in our junior/senior level courses, the commentsagainst the open-ended course project could further reflect this cognitive transition as opposed tothe actual content of the project.In conclusion, we found that student perceptions of the polytechnic nature of a class did notdiffer as pedagogy was

When the students are actively engaged through these learningmodes, their high-order skills are significantly improved [1], [2].Statics is a sophomore-level course required by most engineering majors at universities. Solvingproblems in this course is critical for engineers. It is quite challenging for many students to relatewhat is covered in class to how particles in structural systems behave, especially if they do nothave a good grasp of the concepts.

Our approach to this researchstudy integrates “outsider” (researcher leads’) and “insider” (participating students’ andundergraduate research fellows’) observations of and reflections on culturally salient events,activities, and artifacts to create ethnographic accounts of which cultural practices [38], [39] areconsequential for shaping engineering students’ macro-ethical reasoning and identity. In thisstudy, we followed students longitudinally over two years of the STS program and developedaccounts of how individuals do and do not take up STS cultural practices
