Users answer 44 a-b questions with11 questions for each of the four dimensions. After answering the question students get ascore for each of the four dimensions that ranges from 0 to 11. for example, the 11 itemsthat corresponded to the Activist/Reflective spectrum were added with a score of 1 if theresponse corresponded to Activist and a score of 0 if the response corresponded to Reflective.Sense of belonging to one’s college major is a feeling of membership and acceptance.Prior work identified it as important to student success [7]. One way to assess a sense ofbelonging is to ask students to report how they think others see them

Writing-Based Exercise #1: “Vertical” and “lateral” source evaluation Directions: Start by analyzing both Source A and Source B in a “vertical” fashion. Afterward, switch to a “lateral” evaluation technique and see if your answers remain the same. 1. Start by “vertically” evaluating both sources, searching within the documents for clues on their credibility. Consider using the CRAAP test to guide your responses. Is the author listed, and is that author credible? Are the sources within the article cited? Is it free of grammatical errors or other potential red flags, such as an

Samples were subjected to a Rockwell B hardness test, a Vickers hardness test, and atensile test. The instructor also assessed this laboratory using short-form questions, provided inAppendix B.Survey responses were analyzed for themes associated with both positive and negative laboratorylearning experiences using qualitative content analysis [19]. This method is used to analyzewritten or other works that are subjective in nature, such as surveys or interview transcripts.

This work is focused on Applied PhysicsSeminars where students by using a simulator software "Speed Calculations for TrafficAccidents" – SCTA study the process of collision in a real situation, developing a role similarto the one performed by a forensic investigator where by means of the skid mark and type ofpavement he can estimate the initial vehicle speed. In the Physics laboratory, teams of studentsmust: 0) Read the original paper about "Speed Calculations for Traffic Accidents" and payattention for general teacher’s explanation during class laboratory, 1) Use Design Thinkingmethodology for project

This study demonstrates that applying entrepreneurially minded learning not only helped students to discover, evaluate, and exploit opportunities but also resulted in the six themes: a. Encouraging Creativity and Innovation b. Interdisciplinary Thinking and Transfer of Knowledge to New Contexts c. Real-World Problem Solving d. Leadership, Time Management, and Communication Skills e. Making Contributions to Society by Creating More Sustainable and Equitable Systems f.

ownership ofeducational and career decisions has the potential to promote positive action, reduce anxiety underall circumstances, and help in providing equitable access and inclusion to STEM academic fields.The results of the survey were discussed at a workshop held in November 2021 and a preliminaryIDP for STEM master’s programs was created. The workshop agenda can be viewed here [5]. Theinitial IDP created, named msIDP, includes the following: (a) a review of previous workexperience and its relevance to future careers; (b) the identification of skills and competencies; (c)techniques to self-assess skills and knowledge, set goals, and self-evaluate; (d) creation of atimeline for degree completion; (e) an understanding of the graduation
