significantly increase their self-efficacy in STEM teaching, their own interest /attitudes toward science, and their understandingof inquiry-based STEM instruction. Similar findings were reported by other educators [5, 8, 9].School programs with hands-on and manufacturing focuses –as compared to academicmathematics or pure science– would be attractive to students since they can relate the training toeveryday examples, potential employment, and even advanced careers. Some middle /highschools, however, limit the growth of their technology-related programs, robotics clubs, orSkillsUSA programs due to budget constraints and/or lack of technical expertise of teachers. Itwould be necessary to reverse the trend by providing infrastructure and manufacturing

female faculty represent a vital national resource,particularly in STEM fields, where they often serve as role models and mentors for femalestudents. Recent scholarship provides evidence of the importance of students being taught bywomen faculty in STEM disciplines. Stout, Dasgupta, Hunsinger, and McMcanus2 found thatexposure to women STEM faculty promoted positive attitudes, greater self-efficacy, and strongeridentification with STEM as well as increased commitment to pursue STEM careers.Yet, the majority of faculty members at community colleges are employed part-time, suggestinga complex interplay between organizational context and academic careers. This population andthe environments in which they work continue to be understudied. Researchers

More recently, she has also conducted research on factors influencing teaching and learning of pre-service mathematics teachers (e.g. mathematics anxiety), as well as factors affecting observational learning (e.g. self-efficacy and outcome expectations). Van der Sandt’s teaching covers both pure math- ematics and mathematics education. Pure mathematics courses include Calculus and Applied Liberal Art Mathematics. Mathematics education courses include both content courses and methodology courses specifically designed for education students: e.g. Mathematical Structures and Algorithms for Educators; Perspectives on the Development of Mathematics; Teaching Mathematics in the Early Childhood and the Elementary

Part of any evaluation process is to providepositive and constructive criticism to one’s performance. If the student evaluations arestructured such that more positive feedback is required than constructive criticism and thatcriticism is written in a manner focusing on additional effort in weak areas, then a student’smotivation to improve should increase.After reviewing the literature on self-regulated learning and how PBL can be related to

Often creative people seek opposition; that is, they decide to think in ways that countervail how others think. Note that none of the attributes of creative thinking is fixed.

perceptions of team teaching remain acrossdifferent disciplines and are held by students from diverse backgrounds [8].The literature unequivocally supports the benefits of team teaching. Recent studies [2], [9] havefound that team teaching enhances student knowledge and satisfaction and attributed this successto the diverse instructional perspectives and the heightened level of support. Team teaching isalso effective at boosting student self-efficacy and team skills [10]. Furthermore, team teachingfacilitates instructors' professional development. Many authors [1], [6], [11] report thatinstructors who team teach are more likely to adopt evidence-based strategies, critically self-reflect on their courses, and learn innovative teaching techniques.

SWE’s plans centeredon the outcomes from their research; specifically, the role that the society should play inincreasing community college women’s knowledge about engineering as a career, buildingconfidence and self-efficacy, and ensuring that they felt a sense of inclusion in engineering,despite often being one of few women in their STEM classes [16].First, SWE added supporting students attending two-year colleges as a strategic priority in2021.

The first part of the assessmentinvolved surveys of the faculty to identify types and amount of learning activities related toglobal learning. The key finding from the survey was the common narrow perception of globallearning as study abroad and international education activities. The second part of the assessmentinvolved surveys of faculty and students in the Fall 2015 and Spring 2016 terms to exploreperceptions about students and their self-efficacy associated with global learning.

Perceived competence isbeing measured using the 5-item self-efficacy scale from the Patterns of Adaptive LearningSurvey (PALS).21 A sample item includes ‘I’m certain I can master the skills taught in myengineering courses.’ Interest/value is being assessed in terms of students’ enjoyment and valuefor engineering using an 8-item interest/value scale developed Linnenbrink-Garcia andcolleagues.22 Sample items include ‘Engineering is exciting to me’ (enjoyment) and ‘Engineeringis practical for me to know’ (value).
