Abstract(s)
A successful engineer must cope with highly demanding challenges, involving a large scope of academic and social (personal and workplace) competences. College education should enable students to develop and address these needs. Developing students’ knowledge and skills in contextualized engineering environments, practicing teamwork, leadership, decision-making, initiative and analytical thinking are some of the important aspects that will become relevant in their future. This work presents an implementation of an introductory physics curriculum, incorporating some efficacy factors (identified in the literature), practiced in class by several teachers. Through the analysis of teachers’ mediation in the classroom and students’ achievements, teacher
mediation characteristics were identified as being more correlated with the development of students’ learning and particularly with their competence development
