as they progress in their work.First, we identify the engineering epistemic practices in which students engage in the laboratory activity.Engineering epistemic practices are the socially organized and interactionally accomplished ways inwhich engineers develop, justify, and communicate ideas when completing engineering work(Cunningham & Kelly, 2017; Kelly, 2008). Epistemic practices can be divided into three categories:material, conceptual, and social (Chindanon & Koretsky, 2023; Koretsky et al., 2023; Pickering, 1996).Material practices refer to interactions with the material world, such as through observation,measurement, and production of design artifacts (Bogen & Woodward, 1988; Furtak & Penuel, 2019).Conceptual epistemic

Regarding items 3–7, students clearly note that both the hands-on portion of theexperience and the visual software interface engaged their interest and promoted effectivelearning. While the response to item 8 was expected (i.e., students found the circuit buildingprocess to be a minor distraction), the distraction was outweighed by the variety that it added tothe learning experience. The average responses to items 10–15 imply that some understandingwas gained for every learning objective. Additionally, when examining the individual responsesthat were used to compute the averages for items 10–15, no student reported that they learnednothing, and nearly all reported

These pedagogies have proven to be more effective than thetraditional “chalk-and-talk” passive lecture methods, and include challenge-based learning (e.g.,problem-based learning, project-based learning, case-based learning, inquiry-based learning [1])and a multitude of active/collaborative techniques (e.g., think-pair-share, quick think, jigsaw, andgallery walk). All of these learning methods excel in student learning of content as well as avariety of process skills such as critical thinking

In this way, following Flett’s argument [32] it isunderstood that both the sense of mattering and the sense of belonging influence mental well-being to the extent that they can attenuate the impact that life stressors have on the people’s lives.Relationship between sense of belonging, sense of mattering, and self-regulated learningIn the context of university education, social ties have been studied in relation to motivation

Accelerated learning, which isrationalized by examining Gardner’s eight distinct intelligences: linguistic, logical-mathematical,visual-spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal (social), intrapersonal and naturalistic,has several elements that are particularly impacted by technology. Engaging as many senses aspossible promotes full utilization of the intelligences and emotional learning systems. Many ofthese are accessible to convergent technology.
