development was studied using the Tuckman model, first popularized in the 1960's forworkplace teams and later updated [5], [6]. This model consists of four stages: Forming,Storming, Norming and Performing. Tuckman demonstrated that team members tend to act asindividuals during the first two stages, and then realize that, as contributors to a team, morecould be accomplished with the team than individually. This realization leads team memberperformance toward the Norming and Performing stages. A summary of each of the stagesand their key characteristics is given in Table 1 below [1], [5]–[7]. This table was adaptedfrom a prior study using similar methods with introductory engineering transfer student teams:Table 1: Team Development Stages and Key

needed to wait for students to log into the online class before starting the practice.Author 3 noted that being able to move the time of the mediation to better fit in the coursematerial for the day was advantageous. Additionally, Author 3 noticed that different classsections had different preferences. For example, Author 3’s morning class section liked havingthe practice early during class (e.g., at the beginning), while the afternoon class section liked thepractices later in the class session, especially on Friday (e.g., at the end of class). Lastly, it is ofnote that Author 2 thought a five-minute practice might be too long for an online course,especially when done daily, but the same duration worked well for the in-person course,according to

a growing number of STEM roles.Marginalized populations are disproportionately absent from these fields, which NationalScience Foundation (NSF) has sought to address through the funding of programs aimed atimproving STEM students’ success [1]-[2]. Thus, Baylor University created the Engineering andComputer Science (ECS) Scholars Program—a NSF-funded program to support the success ofhigh achieving, low income (HALI) STEM students. Because student success literatureoverwhelmingly evidences the positive relationship between involvement and success [3]-[4],this study explored how HALI STEM students in the ECS Scholars Program perceive andexperience involvement and success as related to their most salient identities.Guiding Research Question(s

They underlined the role of technology as acontributor to variety, challenge, means of interaction, generation of artifacts, physical and intellectualaccessibility of information. J. Hawkins et al. [2] however pointed out the need of presenting scientific enquiryin a way that the students learn to develop questions and problems, recognize their own ideas and knowledge-states, learn to explore the consequences of alternative ideas, and juxtapose and try out interactions of this newinformation with their own beliefs. S. Bell [3] suggested the application-based projects as a targeted tool thatis guided by an inquiry question that drives the research and allows students to apply

InFall 2021, on average, 35% of students indicated that they did not experience conflict. Incontrast, only 32% of student teams had CATME flags for Project 1 report at the end of thesemester (Figure 2). Thus, CATME peer-evaluations may not be fully capturing all interpersonalconflicts in these student teams.
