information processing activities may go on. Metacognitionrefers, among other things, to the active monitoring and consequent regulation and orchestrationof these processes in relation to the cognitive objects or data on which they bear, usually in serviceof some concrete goal or objective." As stated by Pintrich [13], “Although there are manydefinitions and models of metacognition, an important distinction is one between (a) knowledgeof cognition and (b) the processes involving the monitoring, control and regulation of cognition.”Often students in gateway STEM courses demonstrate poor knowledge of cognition as they,“confuse their ability to recognize vocabulary with mastery of material” [14] and thus clearly areunaware of their knowledge deficits.In

conceptual framework.Relationship RisksMaxwell and Lévesque identified a relatinship between behaviors related to relationship risk andinvestment decisions in the early stateges of decision making (see Table 2) [17]. Whenquantified these relationship factors are a) different and b) have greater weight than previouslyanticipated. See the left hand column in step four of the conceptual framework.Much has been discussed about the availability of objective, risk mitigating frameworks and theemergence of the “soft skills”; those categories of relationship-based risks. Entrepreneurshipeducation has done a good job of incorporating the former into curriculum and pedagogy andperhaps the latter will find its way as well. But little if no research has
)they are interested, and 5) they feel cared about by the instructor and/or other students” [13].Marzano, Pickering and Heflebowen [14] noted that a pedagogical environment that elicits positiveresponses to questions: “a) How do I feel? b) Am I interested? c) Is it important? and d) Can I dothis?” may indicate an engaged student. Such an environment leads to self-efficacy which has beendefined by Bandura [15] as "how well one can execute courses of action required to deal withprospective situations". Academic achievement and self-efficacy have been empirically shown tobe related [16]-[20]. Successful learning enhances an individual’s self-efficacy [21]-[23].The objective of this work is to assess an innovative active learning environment. In
