It introduces additional scenario-buildingand response-planning strategies that can enhance the stepwise rehearsal experience of thelearner, and therefore their sense of self-efficacy in applying the GVV framework. The proposedinnovation incorporates two additional elements: concentric circles of engagement and stepwiserehearsal of interactions. Concentric circles of engagement involve different centers of focus anddegrees of involvement of others in the learner’s process of ethical decision-making and action,which expand from an internal

Second, theirperceptions of AI's effectiveness, utility, and ethics seem to significantly impact their willingnessto adopt AI for classroom usage. Lastly, research suggests that PSTs recognize both the benefits,like improving student engagement and personalized learning, and the challenges posed bytechnical difficulties or the complexity of interspersing these technologies in their STEMclassrooms. As such, teacher education related to meaningfully using AI tools is an importantfocus of integrating AI. Teachers must be skilled and confident in using AI tools in theirclassrooms, while also able to

At USD, MENG 445 is an elective that is taken byjunior and senior mechanical engineers. To engage students to critically think about thesociotechnical implications of robotics, a course project module, named ‘Robots at YourService’, was developed [12]. The module encourages students to consider questions such as:Will robots limit our relationship with our fellow humans, or isolate us even further from oneanother? Do present a danger to our society?

curriculum plays a significant role in shaping students' perceptions ofinnovation and entrepreneurship. The informal messages conveyed through classroominteractions, teacher attitudes, and institutional culture can either reinforce or undermine theformal curriculum [8]. For example, if teachers demonstrate a lack of enthusiasm for innovativepractices or fail to model entrepreneurial behaviors, students may internalize these attitudes,leading to a diminished interest in pursuing entrepreneurial ventures [8]. Therefore, STEMeducators need to be aware of the impact of their attitudes and behaviors on students' learningexperiences and outcomes.Considering these findings, it is evident that improving the alignment between teachers'perceptions and

In adialogic model of teaching and learning the teachers too are learning, adapting andresponding to the students and not simply being a knowledge provider. Problems often arisewith the dialogic view of teaching in that growing class sizes and the available 'bandwidth'for the lecturer and student to communicate quickly becomes saturated. Saturation of thebandwidth often results in teachers adopting a more didactic and less engaged teachingpractice which may reduce the support for the individual learner.Fortunately, given that technology in the 21st century is ubiquitous, it is in our homes, ourcars and our pockets it is no surprise that it is filtering into the everyday classroom
