Cara E. Worick; Ellen L. Usher; Jennifer Osterhage; Abigail M. A. Love; Peggy S. Keller – Journal of Experimental Education, 2024
This study investigates associations between two types of control beliefs--self-efficacy for self-regulation and implicit theories of willpower--and undergraduate biology students' (N = 535) behavioral self-regulation and performance. Findings suggest that self-efficacy is the more proximally related motive for students to engage in academic…

Stewart, John; Henderson, Rachel; Michaluk, Lynnette; Deshler, Jessica; Fuller, Edgar; Rambo-Hernandez, Karen – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
According to Bandura's social cognitive theory, a student's self-efficacy influences his or her academic and career decisions, and his or her performance outcomes; as such, a student's self-efficacy changes with time in response to the student's experiences. Self-efficacy may also vary by academic domain. Differences in STEM self-efficacy have…

Erika M. Nadile; Gregory Vaughan; Naomi L. B. Wernick – American Biology Teacher, 2024
Grades in introductory STEM courses can impact intrinsic motivation (IM) and self-efficacy (SE). We used an exploratory approach to examine trends in grades and how IM and SE impact students' grades. It is known that most first-generation (FG) college students are from underrepresented backgrounds (URM), and that these students are least likely to…

Teplá, Milada; Teplý, Pavel; Šmejkal, Petr – International Journal of STEM Education, 2022
Background: Studies comparing the effect of dynamic and static visualization suggest a predominantly positive effect of dynamic visualization. However, the results of individual comparisons are highly heterogeneous. In this study, we assess whether dynamic visualization (3D models and animations) used in the experimental group has a stronger…

Liu, Min; Pan, Zilong; Cai, Ying; Shao, Peixia; Han, Songhee – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 2021
This study examined how 465 socioeconomically disadvantaged middle school students used a multimedia-enriched problem-based learning (PBL) program. Using a mixed-methods design, we investigated the impact of PBL on students' performance, and relationship among students' self-efficacy, attitude toward science, and performance. The findings showed…

Haynes, Michele; Brown, Alinta; Nichols, Kim; Parveen Musofer, Reshma – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
An inquiry approach to learning can have a positive impact on students' attitudes to science and their science literacy skills; two attributes that have been in steady decline internationally. The professional development of teachers in inquiry science is one way to ensure that teachers are equipped with effective strategies to teach science,…

Sletten, Sarah Rae – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2017
In flipped classrooms, lectures, which are normally delivered in-class, are assigned as homework in the form of videos, and assignments that were traditionally assigned as homework, are done as learning activities in class. It was hypothesized that the effectiveness of the flipped model hinges on a student's desire and ability to adopt a…
