4.992 B. Correlation and Chi-Square Analysis To further understand the relationship between faculty's effective communication and students' motivation [15,16,17,18 ], we ran a correlation test between the two components constructs, followed by a Chi-square analysis. Results indicate that there is a positive relationship between the constructs. The relationship is significantly genuine with a p-value < 0.001 and a medium effect size (>0.5). 1. Relationship between Care, Express, and Value. Independent values are Value and Express dimensions, and the dependent variable is the care construct.

activities have still remained unclear. Few studies involve teachers’perspectives. Therefore, as an effort to extend current research, the study uses abottom-up strategy to explore how engineering teachers understand and practice thisconcept in class.MethodWe conducted 6 semi-structured interviews with teachers from 3 leading universities(aliases “A” “B” and “C”)in engineering education in China. The interviewees camefrom four different subjects. The questions include:  Demographic information of the teacher (major, years of teaching, courses…)  What methods does the teacher use in his/her courses?  What kind of knowledge and abilities does the teacher aim to foster in his/her classes?  How does the teacher understand

After the first round of intercoder agreement, theresearch team met to discuss the results and the coding scheme was adjusted and simplified toallow for consensus (Appendix B). This simplification considered and incorporated all codespreviously within the codebook by grouping similar themes together into coding categories.
