The criteria for inclusion in the reviewwere as follows: (1) publication type- the publication was a journal article or conferencepaper, (2) empirical- the study reported empirical findings, (3) participants- K-12 and STEMstudents, (4) articles published after Carraher et al.’s [1], (5) language- the study was writtenin English. Studies were excluded if they did not answer the research questions.

Introduction1.1 Research ObjectivesThis study aims to experimentally introduce peer assessment as a complementary method toaddress the limitations of Slack-based engagement evaluation in face-to-face group work, andto examine its effectiveness. In particular, the study investigates whether combining activityscores derived from Slack posts with peer-assessed scores can enable objective evaluation ofstudent engagement, even in a face-to-face setting. In this context, "Slack-based evaluation"refers to a method of assessing student engagement

the early 2000’s [5] in the Social Sciences field whenHilary Arksey and Lisa O’Malley published the first methodological framework in their work,“Scoping Studies: Toward a Methodological Framework” [4]. Since then, this framework hasbeen critiqued, modified, and heavily adopted into the health sciences and psychology fields [1],[5], [6]. While there are slightly varying definitions of this type of literature review, the mainessence is to capture the “extent, range, and nature of research activity” [4, p. 21]. In otherwords, the “breadth” of the research topic with varying degrees of depth in its literature. Arksey and O’Malley’s framework [4] outlines six stages in a scoping review (fiverequired, and one optional additional). Which

Stage 3: Transcript Evaluation: For this study, we built off ongoing work by members ofthe research team to adapt a framework to perform deductive thematic analyses [redacted; underreview]. This method leverages a combination of prompt engineering techniques (PETs), naturallanguage processing via large language models (NPL via LLMs; i.e., ChatGPT), and Bradley etal.’s framework on thematic analysis. Appendix B details the exact prompts used to extractrelevant themes and ideas from the transcripts. Bradley et al.’s study outlined a method whereseveral codes should

Moreover, longitudinal studiesexamining how students’ achievement goals evolve throughout their engineering educationwould offer valuable insights into how their motivations develop and adapt over time. This studycould inform more targeted interventions and policies aimed at enhancing student outcomes inSTEM fields.References[1] C.

Mary Besterfield-SACRE and Larry J. Shuman were supportedby NSF to conduct a study [7]. They have developed a theoretical framework thathelps to better understand educational outcome based on Bloom’s Taxonomy.Through this framework, each educational outcome is refined into a series ofattributes, and engineering faculty can integrate educational outcome into engineeringprogram through these attributes.
