Supporting female and gender diverse students in undergraduate STEM courses through enhancing self-efficacy

ABSTRACT This study explores the relationship between gender and class-specific self-efficacy in undergraduate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) courses, with a focus on the impact of pedagogical practices. Data from 483 students surveyed during the first weeks of their courses provide insights into how gender interacts with age, race, generational status, and study field to shape students’ perceived confidence in understanding material, mastering skills, and performing well in assessments. Female and gender diverse students reported lower self-efficacy than male students, with variations across demographic groups. A mid-semester focus group with female and gender diverse participants identified key pedagogical factors – supportive student-staff relationships, positive class atmosphere, and teaching and assessment practices that prioritise student comfort and knowledge application – that help enhance self-efficacy. These findings underscore the role of targeted pedagogical interventions in reducing the gender gap in self-efficacy and fostering more inclusive learning environments in undergraduate STEM.

Teaching Reform and Practice Based on Four Dimensions and One Penetration for Sensing and Detection Technology

Sensing and Detection Technology is a core course in engineering specialties. Traditional sensor teaching methods have obvious deficiencies in cultivating students’ ability. To better foster students’ comprehensive qualities, this study explored a 4D1P (Four Dimensions and One Penetration) teaching mode. We independently developed an industrial sensor teaching platform with intellectual property rights, integrating classroom and sensor experiments to address the disconnection between traditional sensor teaching and practical application. This mode combined the teaching platform with SPOC (small private online courses) and Rain Classroom teaching software, enriching classroom teaching and stimulating students’ interest. By applying industry-academia-research integration to sensor teaching, students’ horizons were broadened and their creative thinking enriched. The mode set up discussion-based learning in the classroom, making the class atmosphere lively. Throughout the teaching process, data-driven learning and teaching evaluation were consistently applied, allowing teachers to promptly understand students’ learning situations. Data shows that under the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, students’ grades improved and they were satisfied with this teaching mode. This mode solves most current problems in university classroom teaching and significantly enhances students’ practical abilities. It also has certain significance for education in other disciplines.
