“…This finding is partially consistent with the study finding that students with stronger technology learning motivation showed a positive attitude to engineering (Kwon, 2016b). Based on the study findings, the concern related to engineering was found to have strong relationships with science learning motivation and technology learning motivation.…”

“…Moreover, there are studies in which a positive correlation can be inferred between students' learning motivation and concern related to engineering. For instance, Kwon (2016b) reported in his study that middle school students' technology learning motivation had a positive correlation with attitude toward engineering. Studies by Aschbacher, Li, and Roth (2010) and DeWitt et al (2011) reported that science learning motivation was a significant factor for students to choose an engineering-related career in the future.…”

“…The students' performance and interest in science subjects have been related to several contextual, emotional and motivational factors, including volume of the subjects, workload, students' task orientation and personal abilities, instructional design and materials for effective teaching, teacher's efficacy and teaching skills, students' motivation and personality, class size, etc. (Abbasi et al, 2018;Ale, 1989;Armstrong, 2009;Bietenbeck, 2011;Ehrenberg, Brewer, Gamoran, & Willms, 2001;Harris & Sass, 2008;Kirillova et al, 2017;Kwon, 2016;Odogwu, 1994;Ohuche, 1978;Rus, Radu & Vanvu, 2016;Say & Bag, 2017;Shcherbakov et al, 2017;Wang & Hsieh, 2015).…”

In the 21st century, we observe an increasingly aware of a series of global, technological and scientific advancement that create a need of good performance in science education at all levels of schooling. These challenges, among them rapid science and technological changes, a rise of information technology use, and continuing movement towards a knowledge-based society all highlight the need for deep education in science including biology, chemistry, environmental science, physics, and sustainability. In fact, the impact of teacher characteristics of self-efficacy level is important for science education and students' learning outcomes in science. In an effort to highlight this, this study investigated the impacts of teacher efficacy and motivation on students' academic achievement in science education in secondary and high schools located in Iran and Russia using motivation for academic performance scale (α = 0.89) and teacher self-efficacy scale (α = 0.91) as measuring instruments and achievement test in science education. Two hypotheses were tested using the statistical programme. For evaluating the demographical differences of the students in terms of their academic achievement, comparative analyses were performed using t-test. Results showed that gender difference was not significant but nationality difference was significant in terms of students' academic achievement in science education. Also other findings reported significant impact of teacher self-efficacy and motivation on academic achievement in science education. Implications, suggestions and recommendations for students, teachers, school administrators, parents, government, education counselors, etc. were discussed and presented.

This study developed an integrated-STEM CO2 dragster design course using 3D printing technology. After developing a pre-engineering curriculum, we conducted a teaching experiment to assess students' differences in creativity, race forecast accuracy, and learning performance. We compared student performance in both 3D printing and manual creation of dragsters. One hundred and eighty-two participants in five classes of Grade 10 participated in this study. The results of the teaching experiment showed that students who used a 3D printer significantly outperformed those students who made their dragsters by hand in terms of both the novelty and sophistication of their dragsters. The students in the 3D printing group were able to forecast the outcomes of the race significantly more accurately than those in the group who made theirs by hand were. No significant difference in learning performance was found in the two groups. Based on these experimental results, the development of the curriculum and hands-on activities and the teaching recommendations were revised. This research has an impact on offering an effective approach to the design and implementation of digital manufacturing and pre-engineering curricula in the future.
