The scalewas developed to assess the different dimensions of self-efficacy for undergraduate studentsacross various engineering-related disciplines. The measure reports three sub-scales:Experimental Skills, Tinkering Skills, and Design Skills. To assess the effectiveness of theadditive manufacturing project-based experiences, the project evaluator wrote four itemsmodeled on the existing items on the Engineering Skills Self-Efficacy Sub-Scales
. This programincludes complex tasks such as testing the tensile strength of 3D-printed parts. Students mustiteratively use the results of the tensile strength measurement to adjust the 3D printing parametersettings and improve the quality of the print through multiple cycles. TeleopLab preserves theinteractivity and real-world complexity of these processes, allowing students to conduct multiplecycles of testing and adjustment critical to manufacturing training. The educational impact ofTeleopLab was evaluated using the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ),with pre- and post-use data collected from six students. The results showed an improvement of25% in self-efficacy, 27% in motivation to re-engage, and a reduction of 13% in
Nvivo: 1000 most frequently used words with minimum length of ten.3.5 Deductive Thematic AnalysisDeductive thematic analysis was conducted by applying the conceptualization of motivation to learnresulting from three factors: self-efficacy, seeing value, and a supportive environment [3, 4]Self-efficacy describes one’s confidence in the ability to complete a performance-based task. Severalparticipants emphasized an increase in self-efficacy by referencing skill development, and by respondingwith a capacity to apply new tools and strategies.
