less criticism per incorrect answer than low-efficacy teachers. High-efficacy teachers also guided students to correct answers effectively through more questioning.Thus, high-efficacy teachers devoted more effort to teaching students, and did so with betterinstructional strategies than low-efficacy teachers.As a consequence of the relationship between teachers’ self-efficacy and their commitment inclass, some researchers showed how students’ psychological states were affected by teacher self-efficacy10,11. Midgley, Feldlaufer, and Eccles (1989)11, in a two year longitudinal study, showedhow students’ belief about their mathematical ability can change depending on the level of self-efficacy of the teachers about teaching mathematics.

manifest over time. Activity Theory is a versatile toolto visualize systems at macro- and micro-levels of detail. It can provide a high-level view ofexisting and possible future learning environments. It can also depict learning dynamics at theclassroom-level. For example, Activity Theory frameworks have been used to study learningprogress during small activity units, and in mobile computer-supported collaborative learningsystems [16], [17]. Zurita and Nussbaum's research with children found that implementing anActivity Theory framework, in conjunction with Instructional Design approaches, helpedimprove students’ technological appropriation, collaboration performance, motivation,attendance, group work skills, and communication skills [16].Activity

engineering programs are decreasing the number of credits for graduation [13] whilemaintaining professional and ethical responsibility as key student outcomes [14], It is incumbent upon the engineering community to see that ethical problems, standards of conduct and critical thinking skills are adequately developed within the context of technical courses… engineering educators must face head on the societal and ethical implications of engineering [3, p. 311].Given that micro-insertions can help engineering educators meet this directive, it is instructive tounderstand how students perceive such instruction in terms of their ethical learning anddevelopment.
