as part of the formal program, and as such, student confidence in theirabilities there showed significant increases. Confidence in written skills improved, thoughperhaps not as much, which likely more broadly reflects individual project mentors requirementsfor written work - there were no formal written report requirements for the REU as a whole, andso different students had different experiences here. The ​Communications Skills​ summary datais presented in ​Figure 7​.Figure 7: Pre-Post Confidence Changes for Communication Skills. n = 14.Limitations of this Study:There are a number of limitations to this study that the authors would like to disclose. The first isthat this is a relatively small sample size (n=14). However, qualitative studies

Of 65 students respondingto the course survey, only one commented that this type of activity was not very useful.Conversely, there were eight comments that explicitly reflected positively on the use ofdemonstration and activities to learn concepts.Further, the value of class demonstrations is shown by comparing the most recent course (2018)with the previous course (2017). The 2017 offering of the course did not use classroomdemonstrations (to any significant extent). Comparing 2017 to 2018, there was a 93% increase inthe

The activities for the day in the class mainly consisted of an instructor-led discussion,which emphasized the importance of the assignments, strategies for maximizing theirperformance, and a variety of first-year college student milestones that students might beexperiencing or expect to be experience in the coming weeks. One such milestone is: midterms,and what to do before, and after completing midterms, in regard to preparing, reflecting,improving, staying motivated whether performance is bad or good, and more.

However, if at the beginning of the discussion, people argued that gender issues at theUniversity were almost irrelevant (since no problems had been reported), in the course of thedebate people started to reflect more about the subject, admitting several situations of inequalitydue to gender.The next challenge consisted in discussing possible solutions for the identified issues, which turnedout to be also very difficult, not only to find solutions but also to recognize good practices in

is that women in academia are often seen as lessaccomplished and less capable than their male counterparts regardless of their achievementsand as a result, receive lower ratings [16]. Most evaluations do not reflect the faculty’sknowledge, clarity and organization, but show students’ attitudes towards the class andinstructor instead of information on teaching performance, resulting in some instructorsreceiving higher rating by offering students extra grades [14], [17].There are fewer studies conducted on minority faculty research, especially females and racialminorities, compared to studies on faculty evaluations [18].

Unsurprisingly,team relationship obtained a higher score which reflects the group’s main trait of agreeableness. The Pearson correlation of the eight dimensions demonstrated various significantcorrelations. As figure 3 shows, purpose and goals were significantly and positively correlatedwith team relationship. Team relationship is related to how each member appreciates each other,listening to each other, communicate with each member and so forth.

These include: use of manipulatives and hands-on learning;cooperative learning; discussion and inquiry; questioning and conjectures; justification ofthinking; writing for reflection and problem solving; use of problem-solving approach; integrationof technology; teacher as a facilitator; and use of assessment as a part of instruction. In addition,understanding students’ misconceptions also supports teachers’ pedagogy [10,19].The research literature indicates that providing effective technology PD to STEM teachers has apositive effect on teacher and student learning

The data reflects their confidence in their knowledge, not their knowledge of that material. We did not conduct any final examinations on the material. The increase in confidence can be traced to the interaction between the high school students, undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and industry professionals working in that area. When the students were working on their project, their knowledge was constantly being strengthened and reinforced by their partners.

As defined in theHofstede study [35], the United States has low power distance, weak masculine, and weakuncertainty avoidance dimensions compared to the Arab nations, characterized as having highpower distance, strong masculine traits, and high uncertainty avoidance [35]. Elenkov [25]suggested that the culture-specific way people deal with lower power distance and uncertaintyavoidance is important and may be indicative of intra-country, i.e., economic activities within thecountry.
