students were initiallyconcerned about being seen as weak students in class and felt it was important to demonstratecompetence to others. However, these two goals were significantly lower by the end of thesemester, indicating that they decided that it was not so important if people thought they wereweak students. They may also have become more willing ask for help.For the spring 2010 students, significantly higher ratings were seen for the Academic Efficiencyand the Mastery Goal Orientation constructs. This suggests that these students gainedconfidence in their ability to master difficult work, to study more effectively and in theiracademic self-efficacy

However, as Anyon and others have argued,to deeply understand the complexities of a given phenomenon, the evidence collected should alsobe contrasted with the theory (or theories) the researcher employs.86-87 Concept matching as thedominant use of theory in engineering education is not unique: it reflects the dominant use oftheory in education research more

Thestructure of the engineering curriculum is such that, for numerous courses, there are prerequisitecourses in which students must attain a specified grade to be eligible for enrollment in advanced-level courses. This structure is predicated on the principle of knowledge acquisition, wherein thegrade serves as a criterion, with students above the threshold

The use of a learning management system (LMS) has been shown to mitigatechallenges associated with disruptions, prompting researchers to better understand the degree towhich LMS features are used and how they can be used more effectively. This study wasconducted to discover how instructors utilized a LMS before, during, and after a disruption.Findings from this study can be used by policy makers and educators to plan how best to useLMS features given

The purpose for these learning objectives, however, is not often clear to students (e.g.,Why is this material important to know, how does it apply in the real world, and how will myprogress be evaluated?). Learning objectives in an electric circuits class, for example, may state,“Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:” followed by a list of items such as“measure voltage in a series circuit”, or “calculate current in a parallel circuit.” While learning tomeasure voltage and current are important skills to learn in an electric circuits

, can lead to deficit-based thinking and discriminatory behaviors [11], [13]–[15].The ideology of meritocracy also perpetuates inequities in engineering through its reliance on theconcept of “merit” to compare individuals. “Merit” is often defined as synonymous with “talent,”“achievement” and/or “hard work” [3]–[6]. The logic of meritocracy suggests that individualswho possess more “merit” deserve more rewards and opportunities [2]–[6]. However, evaluating“merit” is not a straightforward process. Attempts to do so have often reproduced existinginequalities. For instance, standardized tests such as the SAT have historically been used as aproxy measure for student merit in the context of seeking admission to selective colleges [3], [5],[6
