learning stems from Vygotskian social developmenttheory 2. Basic themes of Vygotskian theory are:  Social interactions play a fundamental role in the development of cognition.  A peer could also be a more knowledgeable other – MKO (like: teacher, coach or older adult)  Learning occurs in the zone of proximal development (the difference between what people can do alone and what they can do with assistance).Students involved in collaborative learning with the same level of knowledge will benefit by co-constructing a new understanding of an unknown material through discussion with peers 3-5 .Students with different levels of knowledge will both benefit from collaborative learning.

Based on analysis of the videotaped transcripts a better understanding ofthe sources of misconceptions was identified and further refinements to the IBLA are beingmade.

The mini lectures are usually 15 to 30 minutes long and are followed by an activity.The activity can be a pencil and paper problem, a simulation, building a circuit, writing code,loading and running code, or whatever is appropriate to apply the new material.

In light of these conditions,study results associating AMP program participation with better academic performance amongunder-represented minority engineering students are commendable.The most exemplary AMP effect was seen in students’ Freshman program experience in 1996and 1997. In 1998, the program seems to have made less of a distinguishing impact, and theinitially more challenged AMP students performed as well as non-AMP minority students,except for those AMP students who participated in one particular AMP activity (STEPS), whodid out-perform their non-AMP peers in regards to GPA of CBK courses.With the exception of the STEPS activity in 1998, particular AMP program activities wereindistinguishable from each

might be apparent to college students but not to elementary students [22].Another form of fixation is the students’ tendency to stick to their first design idea [23], [24],[25]. Students either stuck to their initial design idea throughout the whole design process orproduced presumably novel ideas yet with little deviation from the original. Luo (2015) noticedthat the first design ideas were the most frequently chosen by elementary students to furtherdevelop. Two other articles pointed to students resisting feedbacks from teachers and peers aboutimprovement on their design [24], [25]. In both studies, elementary students were asked toexplain their proposed design to the class and receive feedback from the teachers and their peers.The authors

Although extensive research has been doneon integrating AI with STEM, work is lacking that translates this concept into concrete entrypoints for integration. To address this gap, this research uses a systematic literature review (SLR)approach focusing on preservice teachers’ (PSTs’) perceptions of AI in STEM education. Usingthe PRISMA model, we gathered related empirical, peer-reviewed articles published from 2020to 2024. Of the 250 initial studies, 26 met our eventual criteria. Content analyses of these surveysrevealed several aspects that may be used to further understand PSTs' perspectives on AI'sinvolvement and

Further, it was found that studentsin revised inclusive courses reported significantly stronger feelings of inclusion and belongingthan their peers in traditional courses. These findings suggest that systematic efforts toimplement neuroinclusive learning practices in engineering education may contribute to a senseof belonging for all students.IntroductionThe concept of neurodiversity, a term coined by sociologist Judy Singer [1], emerged asmembers of the autistic community challenged the predominant disability framing of autism andembraced the notion that diversity of minds is both
