Aikens, Melissa L.; Kulacki, Alexander R. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Quantitative skills are a critical competency for undergraduates pursuing life science careers. To help students develop these skills, it is important to build their self-efficacy for quantitative tasks, as this ultimately affects their achievement. Collaborative learning can benefit self-efficacy, but it is unclear what experiences during…
