Paper Abstract:
|
Graduate STEM students need to cultivate transferable skills for effective research before entering the workforce. This
study examined the influence of STEM students' program of study (study (MS Data Analytics Engineering -DAEN, MS
Applied Information Technology -AIT, PhD Information Technology - IT, MS INFS, and Accelerated MS Applied
Information Technology -AIT) and age on their perceived shared metacognition (individual and group) within the
Community of Inquiry (CoI) that consists of three presences-teaching, social and cognitive. 149 STEM students
participated in the pre-developed inquiry-based research learning modules across different courses and course instructors
during one semester. This study found that the program of study can influence cognitive presence (p=0.01) while age
influences teaching presence (p=0.02) among three CoI presences. We did not find any influences for the shared
metacognition based on the program of study or age. Students had similar perceptions of shared metacognition
independent of their age group or the program of study. The findings will help others who are interested in shared
metacognition for graduate STEM students. |
