using an online testing toolthey developed. They found there was no significant differences in performance, howeverstudents spent more time on the online test.Other studies have found some differences in on-line versus paper exams. Deutsch, Herrmann,Frese, and Sandholzer4 found gender differences in students taking online exams. These genderdifferences were attributed to differences in computer-self efficacy, but they found thedifferences were reduced considerably after students had a single experience taking an onlineexam. McDonald5 considered score equivalence between paper and computer-based assessmentsand concluded that individual differences in computer experience, computer anxiety, andcomputer attitudes could impact the potential of some

Fourth, taking a different tack, inclusion of open-endedconstructivist activities (both virtual and physical) will be investigated for inclusion into the labsas a way to strengthen student self efficacy. As well, the injection of systems level activities,such as constructing small but practical physiological measurement circuits, will be explored fortheir potential to better contextualize and engage students in their exposure to the challenginganalytical concepts. These modifications will take place during the next phase of the project,which will also focus on encouraging the dissemination of these online circuits lab materials toother college

One studyhas shown that learning skills and study strategies alone can provide a 10% increase in predictivevalidity when added to cognitive-only models of academic performance[9]. Similarly, a recentmeta-analysis showed that non-cognitive factors such as conscientiousness, test anxiety, andacademic self-efficacy can explain as much variance in college GPA as high school GPA andSAT scores [10]. While these studies provide intriguing results
during group work andcollaborative learning [26], [27], but the lack of negative results among both US and non-UScitizens is notable. An interesting question that these results do not address is whether cross-national interactions led to any overall declines in non-US citizens’ self-efficacy or self-confidence about their CS knowledge and skills (as opposed to comparisons with one’s partner).With the exception of driving role, the lack of effects of partners’ national origin among UScitizens is also noteworthy. Any linguistic or cultural challenges that US citizens encounteredmay been balanced out by the benefits of potentially different perspectives that non-US citizensbrought to these collaborations. It is also possible that the work of

Blogging should not so much be an assignment as anopportunity to pose questions, discuss challenging concepts or topics, or merely expressing one'sopinions.” An ability to balance this notion should prove beneficial to future attempts to applyblogging to engineering courses.7.

significant decrease in the frequencyof these behaviors could suggest a decline in students' engagement or motivation toward theirstudies or, in particular, toward the course.Although the rest of the items decreased in frequency, these differences were not as significant.These items were item 23: "Even when the study materials are boring and uninteresting, I keepworking until I finish," item 24: "Before I start studying, I think about what I need to do to learn,"item 25: "When I read, I stop from time to time to review what I have already read," and item 26:"I believe that I can achieve something significant as a professional." These items cover variousaspects of study habits, motivation, and self-efficacy. A decreased frequency in these areas
networking technologies have the potential to expandthe range of outcomes (e.g., progressions of integrated STEM learning) that can be measured.The expertise of educators working in classrooms and in after-/out-of-school settings is a keyfactor—some would say the key factor—in determining whether integrated STEM education canbe done in ways that produce positive outcomes for students. One limiting factor to teachereffectiveness and self-efficacy is teachers’ content knowledge in the subjects being taught. Forexample, most K-12 science and mathematics teachers have taken fewer courses in the subjectarea(s) in which they were prepared than recommended by their respective teacher professionalassociations and many have taken few courses in other areas

Howcan we teach this to freshmen?Observation #9, Self-Efficacy Matters: I am confident in my mathematical abilitiesnow and it makes a difference in my classroom mentality. Knowing you can actuallyperform, given enough time is a great feeling. As instructors, the things that we can do tobuild up the self-efficacy of our students in terms of their ability to apply what they’vebeen learning, are important. Here’s an example of how my professor enables masteryexperiences, which help shape self-efficacy7. He has 100% of his old exams – and theirsolutions – on his website, with statistics of student performance on each question. Thisallows students to practice problems
from our exploratory study, it has some limitations, whichopens up several directions for future work. First, we used the three-component measure ofattitudes towards sustainability proposed in [31] in our study; however, students’ sustainablebehaviors could be influenced by other individual differences such as personality, motivation,and self-efficacy [8], [10]. Therefore, future work must extend our findings towards the study ofother individual differences beyond trait empathy and attitudes, behaviors, and intentionstowards sustainability. This direction of research could also investigate the potential influence ofgender in influencing sustainable design behavior [39]–[41]. Second, we introduced thesustainable design workshop in the last
learning andconcludes that even brief activities introduced into the lecture can increase learning. The entirecourse need not be project-based. Simply adding discussions can have a positive impact onstudents’ intrinsic motivation [19]. If we use Bonwell and Eison’s [20] definition of activelearning as “anything that involves students doing things and thinking about the things they aredoing,” the possibilities are vast. Nie and Lau [1] found adding small activities that encouragestudents to explore in-depth, analyze, discuss, write, apply, or question increased students’ deepprocessing strategies and increased self-efficacy. Felder and Silverman [21] also conclude that asmall number of techniques such as alternating lecture with pauses for

Table 1 shows that students in the twocohorts experienced similar emotional states during teaming, with the exception of their self-efficacy: 50% more of the students in the student-teamed cohort felt happy that they had somecontrol of the process. This is the only statistically significant difference in the question 1responses, and indicates that the student-formed teaming process resulted in the students feelingmore agency, while not significantly increasing anxiety.

Through research, he desires to understand the mechanisms of learning in community in order to democratize the experience of self-efficacy experienced in makerspaces. He hopes to apply his gained understanding to the product development industry in African countries and in the United States, particularly in black communities.Eric Reynolds Brubaker, Stanford University

The secondsource in the Scoping Set is the Troost leadership institute at University of Toronto [2, 15, 17,27], which researched how leader identity is perceived in the profession.

One result obtained in the presentstudy that stands out due to its difference between male and female students is the question aboutstudents’ perceptions of having to constantly prove themselves for peer recognition, with womenindicating a higher agreement than male students. This echoes some of the participants fromMoore and Gloeckner [16], which mentioned having to prove themselves especially for malestudents.Our findings related to females perceiving gender
