With the expansion of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) over the last few decades STEM teacher identities are being redefined. This study comprehends the meaning of STEM teacher identity and recognizes the aspects affecting its development by providing insights into the two research questions: (1) What is the STEM identity of teachers in Hong Kong kindergartens who follow an inquiry-based teaching approach? (2) Which factors contribute to the development of the STEM identity of teachers in inquiry-based kindergartens in Hong Kong? This study surveyed educators to gather their thoughts, which formed the input for carrying out qualitative research to find the STEM identity definition and indicators. Educators from various inquiry-based international schools around Hong Kong contributed (n=47) and 16 of them joined the interviews. The main aim of this research is to define STEM identity and recognize the pillars forming STEM identity which affect its growth for kindergarten educators. Additionally, this study recognizes the challenges and deterrents of applying STEM identity as a new perspective in early childhood education (ECE) in an inquiry-based setting.","PeriodicalId":369501,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment and Learning for Engineering (TALE)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127328254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, until now, there is no quantitative research on the relations between parent-related factors: family background, parents’ confidence and interest in STEM, with children’s STEM selfefficacy. Hence, the purpose of this study is to examine whether these parent-related factors affect children’s STEM self-efficacy and how they affect it. This research collects data from 110 pairwise samples of parents and children in Shenzhen. A structural equation model examines the above-mentioned relations, which suggests that family background and parents’ interests in STEM have significantly positive effects on children’s self-efficacy in STEM, while, contradicting what the previous study suggests, parents’ confidence doesn’t seem to affect children’s study self-efficacy in STEM.","PeriodicalId":369501,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment and Learning for Engineering (TALE)","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124858988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is very suitable to be applied to guide the teaching reform of software testing course, which is an important part of software engineering education. Due to problems like the lack of practice in traditional software testing teaching and that of students' interest in learning, we proposed a novel CDIO-based online-offline hybrid teaching reform model for software testing course. In this reformed teaching model, guided by the CDIO educational initiative, we redesigned the course structure to adjust the teaching content, developed multiple online course practice trainings in an online curriculum resource library, and built a teaching evaluation mechanism corresponding to case-based offline teaching. This teaching reform, to a certain extent, has achieved the goal of strengthening practice, enhancing students' interest in learning, and improving their professional quality and software testing skills. This teaching practice provides reference and inspiration for the innovation and reform of software engineering education in colleges and universities.","PeriodicalId":369501,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment and Learning for Engineering (TALE)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116524064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the increased regulation and accountability regarding academic standards, there is very little debate on grading practices, particularly dissertation marking. The limited research on the assessment of master’s dissertations indicates the need for more research in that area. This paper presents a study that investigated markers’ (n=31) master’s project dissertations marking practices in Computing Science at a university. Findings also show that many assessors do not typically use marking schemes; the marking load negatively affects their marking. Most would prefer complete anonymity of marking, including blind negotiation. A third of assessors have had issues marking dissertations outside their area of expertise. Thematic analysis of the qualitative data corroborated those findings and revealed three overarching themes: 1) I felt that I betrayed my ethical principles, 2) I tried to acknowledge my bias/familiarity with the topic, and 3) Improving the marking experience, second marking and reconciliation process. The paper highlights four key points to consider to improve the master’s dissertation marking process.","PeriodicalId":369501,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment and Learning for Engineering (TALE)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123333719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We leverage advanced technologies of pre-trained language models in NLP to construct several fundamental functionalities for the virtual course assistant. The assistant is designed to answer general course enquiries to reduce time-consuming and repeated human responses, to answer course-related knowledge questions by understanding both queries and teaching materials, and to analyze students' feedback via sentiment analysis. Additionally, we have constructed the course-related database and cross-platform virtual assistants for both website and mobile applications. Different pre-trained models are utilized to fine-tune the dataset in each type of model. By comparing different datasets and analyzing their performance, the best performance model is selected for the virtual assistant. Empirically, adopting NLP-empowered virtual course assistants in class improves teaching and learning experiences: With the help of an NLP-empowered virtual course assistant, the teaching team could devote more effort and time to answering complex questions; For students, an immediate response increases their motivation to study. Thus, the online system could give an excellent user experience to a wide variety of users.
