. Three separate andindependent groups of students are recruited for the study. Group distribution is shown as a Venndiagram in Figure 1. Group A is presented with written literature to review before the flight. Theliterature defines the functions of the flight simulator, flight controls, aircraft principles,instruments and the required mission details. They are then asked to fly the mission with minimalassistance during the flight portion. They are free to ask questions during the flight. Group B is notpresented with any literature for review before the flight. A short presentation is given to them thatdescribes the flight controls, basic instruments and the mission. Their first real exposure to theflight is when they get on the simulator and

The responding students included incoming freshmen,sophomores, juniors and seniors.Two assessment instruments will be used to establish the intellectual development mental modelsof the students. The first one (B-D scale) is a 16-item scale developed by Bateman and Donald[36]. Their instrument is a questionnaire that measures the stages of development in four broadercategories (dualism, multiplicity, relativism, and commitment) with four items for each stage. Thesecond instrument is the Learning Environment Preference (LEP) Instrument developed by Moore[37] to measure the development positions 2-5 (Intellectual Development). Positions 6-9

Such an environment leads to self-efficacy which has beendefined by Bandura [15] as "how well one can execute courses of action required to deal withprospective situations". Academic achievement and self-efficacy have been empirically shown tobe related [16]-[20]. Successful learning enhances an individual’s self-efficacy [21]-[23].The objective of this work is to assess an innovative active learning environment. In

Gendered effects of performance in CS areinfluenced by the social environment, whereas programming experience in high school or undergraduateeducation beyond introductory CS is reflective of the opportunity that students have in their pre-collegeenvironment. We also take students’ grades in the linear algebra course to be reflective of theirenvironment, rather than their ability, because the programming assignment we study involved forming anAx = b matrix from a set of equations. Based on students’ difficulty with this concept in class, wehypothesized that having prior knowledge of linear algebra would be helpful on this programmingassignment. And therefore, students who had the opportunity to take advanced
