However, little is known about how different students learnwith LCDLMs. Such studies are needed to further establish the robustness of LCDLMs forimproving different students’ learning and motivation to learn. The present study begins to fillthis gap by examining if LCDLMs offer differential benefits or effects based on the gender ofparticipants who used these LCDLMs. If LCDLMs are equally beneficial for men and women,this could suggest that they are effective for all genders. This would be a valuable contribution tothe existing research on gender inequality in STEM, which has

As a result, classroom assessments and the resultinggrades and GPA’s significantly impact students’ futures and act as gatekeepers, particularly forundergraduate engineering students. Given the critical role of assessments and theirconsequences, it is important to understand the practices that either support or hinder students’ability to demonstrate their acquired learning and abilities.

-regulated learning in engineering education: exploring effects through Structural Equation ModelingAbstractA long tradition of studies in both psychology and sociology has shown that social ties havepositive effects on mental well-being of both the population in general and in educationalcontexts in particular. Specifically, researchers argue that mental well-being is systematicallyrelated to students' academic self-regulation. However, it is not clear how these three constructsare related, and what direct and indirect effects may exist from social ties to academic self-regulation. In the context of engineering education, this question is especially relevant becausethe literature has documented gaps in the formation of ties of minority social
