. Thisfield of study serves as a unique arena for investigating the efficacy of ECP. Traditional lecture-based approaches have been the cornerstone of education, but there is an increasing interest inexploring alternative methods that engage students actively in the learning process.As the education landscape continues to evolve, assessing the impact of active learning pedagogies,especially the ECP, on learning, particularly within distinct academic disciplines, is imperative.Therefore, this study focuses on the comparative trend analysis of the impact of ExperimentalCentric Pedagogy on learning outcomes in Biology using various measures such as engagement,motivation, cognitive processes, and collaborative learning experiences.Research Objectives

The examples also showcase various approaches to resourceutilization estimation.The author received initial positive feedback on this approach around 2000. Encouraged by theseobservations, the author continued to utilize and refine the pedagogy. Here are suggestions forinstructors interested in assessing the effectiveness of these tools: 1. Pre- and Post-Assessment Quiz: Provide a problem statement like example in Appendix A as a quiz before introducing the Logical Model or verification concepts. Limit the completion time. After covering these topics, repeat the quiz. Compare the time taken and correctness of students’ models to gauge

Three items were used to assess the injunctive perceived norm, and another threewere used to assess the descriptive perceived norm [32]. Finally, personal agency was assessedthrough two sets of items. Three items were used to assess perceived control, and another threewere used to assess self-efficacy [32]. Each item used a 7-point Likert-type response, with a highervalue indicating a more positive response.The reliability of each measure was previously verified for this population, with each subscalehaving a Cronbach’s alpha value greater than 0.7 [30].

At the University of Washington, the grade point average ofwomen who dropped out of an engineering program was 3.2. 13 Many times from Shelly Correllin the AAUW book, it shows that girls assess their mathematical ability lower than do boys withthe equivalent past mathematical achievement. At the same time, girls hold themselves to ahigher standard in subjects like math, where boys are considered to excel. Because of this, girlsare less likely to believe that they will succeed in a STEM field.Some ways to overcome the hurdle of self-esteem is to have teams in order to have a feeling ofbelonging and other women mentors, and women faculty.

Indeed, the ADVANCE goal of diversifying the engineeringworkforce implicates the rigorous training of female graduate students and, in turn, encouragingwomen to pursue academic research careers.Prior research assessing the relationship between faculty
