” offemale engineering undergraduates are as good as, if not better than, those of their male peers.”14 Because the outcome of preparatory and programmatic interventions has been largely positivefor URM students while remaining, in the aggregate, neutral for women, we seek to extend thisinquiry into self-confidenc to a different group of students. While much prior research hasfocused on tying differences in confidence to different trajectories of academic study, such asselecting a major or switching out of STEM majors, we wanted to investigate the interactionamong self-confidence, gender, and majority or URM status for those who “stuck with it,”persisting as engineering majors throughout their academic career.Given the persistent gender gap between

In addition, Rabe-Hemp et al.(2010) suggest professors may enjoy a reduction in class preparation time. While it is true that thefirst time a professor teaches an online course, it requires copious amounts of time to produce thelearning materials for the course. After that first year, the professor can often reuse those materialsand make

While class performance improved with theproportion of adult students, these students graduate at a lower rate than traditional students.Social integration was identified as a key to retention since anxiety leads to questioning abilitiesand thus stunted performance. Interviews revealed that Adult learners viewed themselves asmore experienced, more career focused, and less interested in social activities than the traditionalstudents.

They should then write a short note to the teacher in whichthey report which problem they have chosen, including one argument for why they think it is aWSP. The teacher either approves the students’ choices, or provides feedback for why the chosenproblem may not be seen as a WSP. Once students have received approval from the teacher, theywork in pairs.

At the same time, they are also curious about theworld around them and need time to explore safely. Another salient feature of the middle schoollearner is their sense of wonder about the changes they see in themselves and in their peer group.They depend on important adults in their lives and good role models to emulate.

To date, several evidence-based active-learning techniques have been developedand introduced in the literature in order to enhance interactive engagement during classroomtime. Among these methods are: group quizzes/assignments, just-in-time teaching (aka. JiTT),peer-instruction, as well as in-class experiments for more applied engineering courses, etc. In thefollowing, some studies that examine these specific techniques will be described in more detail.While active learning techniques have been acknowledged as effective means of improvingstudent engagement in their learning, pressures of time and cost have led to many hands-onactivities

assessment withmeaningful, individual feedback in a timely manner can produce significant and often substantiallearning gains13, 14. Classroom communication systems provide both the teacher and studentswith real-time feedback to help gauge student comprehension15, 16. With this quick and simpleway to assess the students’ prior and current knowledge, teachers can better devise effectiveinstructional strategies. This technology also overcomes the obstacles of other forms ofcontinuous assessment (lost class time, peer pressure, feedback not timely enough, clericalchallenges, etc.), and hence is “a powerful mechanism for encouraging student self-awareness oftheir thinking and learning habits”16
