This fact highlights how underprepared many of the students were inthe skills needed to be successful in online learning. Students have spent years developinglearning and study skills in mostly in-person environments. When forced to transition to onlinelearning, students may have lacked the confidence or self-efficacy to take charge of their ownlearning and seek out resources to better their learning either through office hours, friend orstudy groups, or

Further, the data suggest thatPIC leads to higher sense of belonging to the University and it’s members. Kim, London andcolleagues also demonstrate that interest in a STEM career and sense of belonging in one’sUniversity both predicted STEM self-efficacy among students (confidence in one’s ability tomanage STEM academic tasks).
