the course. This approach is rooted in the work on early intervention strategies.The idea is to focus on at-risk students. In this context, we do not consider the oral assessmentprimarily as being part of a summative assessment strategy. Instead, it is designed to be a touchpoint for a meaningful one-on-one interaction between a student and a member of theinstructional team. The value of early interventions for at-risk students is to increaseconnectedness to instructional staff and resources, and student engagement and self-efficacy. Theoral assessments were implemented explicitly with this focus. We also considered additionalbenefits, such as serving as formative assessments for the students to reflect on their level ofconceptual mastery and

He works closely with researchers in STEM to pursue high quality of STEM education for future researchers. He is currently participating in an NSF-funded grant (#1923452) to spearhead research into middle school students’ digital literacies and assessment. Recently, Dr. Hsu has received a seed grant at UML to investigate how undergradu- ate engineering students’ digital inequalities and self-directed learning characteristics (e.g., self-efficacy) affect their learning outcomes in a virtual laboratory environment during the COVID-19 pandemic.

. Suggestions for future enhancements ofthese automated assessments will be provided.I. IntroductionPractice and feedback are critical to student learning, and it is further enhanced when practice isaccumulated with timely feedback [1]. Assessment and evaluation are tools to measure orobserve knowledge gain from practice and feedback. With assessments instructors identify datato collect representing knowledge or skills, selects the instruments for measuring, andadministers the instrument [2]. Evaluation is then the practice of analyzing assessment data anddrawing conclusions from the results [2].Multiple studies have shown how low stakes formative assessments can lower test anxiety, aswell as improve student learning outcomes and self-efficacy

Data collected todescribe student experiences may also provide additional insight into how to improve FBDinstruction generally.In this paper, we detail the process for designing and implementing the app and provide initialdata regarding student impressions

Well-being to produce effective outcomes. For example, according toRyff and Singer, there are six dimensions of Well-being [11]. The first dimension is self-acceptance, which predominantly targets increasing self-efficacy and creating a strongersense of self among teachers. Faculty development programs have been shown to increaseteachers’ self-efficacy [12], which in turn improves student learning, motivation andcontentment [13], and improve teaching practices [14] as an outcome. The second dimensionis the positive relationship with others, which articulates the need for social support amongteachers to exhibit Well-being [15]. Various research has shown that learning as a groupduring faculty development programs has a significant impact on the
