The open feedback reflects that overall this type of involvement meets the program’sexpectations. Frustrations expressed largely reflect practical issues (EG scheduling). This suggests that overall ET programs are content with the status quo in the use of theirIABs. Only occasional remarks indicate that some would like to see a greater involvement infundraising. For this to change there would need to be a vision and model developed todemonstrate how the IAB

These results arehighlighted in Table 7.From evaluating the scores, we see a substantial difference between the two pairs of data sets.From the statements evaluating growth mindset, the students surveyed through the SUCCESSsurvey demonstrated lower beliefs in growth mindset. In Devers’ research, the opposite is shownwith scores higher than 3.5. For the items measuring fixed mindset, the students in the SUCCESSstudy scored 2.8, which reflects the mentality of a somewhat fixed mindset.

positively because learners who fall into this group tend to be motivatedby learning new things, are persistent in completing difficult or ambiguous academic tasks, andtend to use cognitive strategies to support learning such as metacognition and reflection [20, 21].Task oriented students tend to view mastery as dependent on effort, and perceptions of ability areself-referenced [22]. Task oriented students focus their attention on the task, not on extrinsicrewards; learning, understanding, developing new skills, and problem-solving are motivators [17,23]. Task orientation, like mastery orientation, is the most adaptive orientation for self-regulatedlearning [24, 7]. Task oriented students set self-improvement and learning as their goals; as aresult

Instructor assessment mayunderestimate learning if the work they turn in does not reflect their understanding, for exampleif a student rushed to complete lab notebooks, and their entries do not actually reflect theirunderstanding or actual performance. Whereas, student self-reports of learning, may likelyreflect a measure of confidence of the material or some other bias. For instance, self-enhancement and self-diminishment bias may be at play. It has been previously shown that somelow-achieving students tend to over-estimate their abilities and high-achieving students tend tounder

Relying on the positive effects of active learning, we designed a novelcourse format in which the class-time was divided around three different types of activities thatsucceeded each other using the pattern presented in Figure 1. The topic of each unit reflected a keyarea that we aimed to investigate in the course, and we focused on topics that are both morefavorable to generate longer class discussions, and who have been the researched in the past.Examples of such topics include: “Nanobiotechnology and its applications”, “Lifetime ofnanobiodevices” or “Reproducing macroscale bonds at the nanoscale”.Figure 1.

The knowledge gap also often results in the repetition of topics and prolongedlab sessions, as well as more serious issues such as the mishandling of equipment.STEM instruction typically is based on verbal, deductive, reflective, and sequential learningmethods. However, studies show that students in science and engineering programs tend to dowell with visual, inductive, active, and global learning methods. With this information in mind,we developed custom pre-lab videos to address the knowledge gap. The pre-lab videosdemonstrate basic usage and implementation of laboratory equipment, software tools

Bonwell and Eison [1] stated “that in active learning, students participate in theprocess and students participate when they are doing something besides passively listening." Thegoal of active learning activities is to actively involve students in the teaching and learningprocess in order to increase student engagement, performance, and retention [2].Despite the considerable published research in the literature [3-6] showing the advantage ofactive learning approaches in STEM and engineering education and its impact on increasingstudents performance, many instructors still do not implement active learning in their teachingcurriculum.

Students were asked to complete the activity individually although some students werediscussing during the session and the instructional team did not intervene to limit this. It has beenshown that having students reflect on their past work can be beneficial for learning [11], and avisual representation such as concept maps can be easily used for this. Departments can useconcept maps to assess what students are drawing from the curriculum, as well as discoveringareas that are considered essential but perhaps are not front of mind for students, therebyexposing areas for potential improvement.Options for further study could include expanding the study to the end of the second term orfuture years.
