These findings reflect the growingmomentum of STEM in educational settings across Latin America. The research categorizesthe key findings from the reviewed publications into five primary dimensions: active learningmethodology, competence development, individual conditions, context, and the teacher’srole. Active learning methodologies such as inquiry-based learning, problem-based learning,and robotics are prominent in STEM education, promoting skills like critical thinking,creativity, and problem-solving. The research also highlights how contextual factors, such asthe student's social and cultural environment, play a

And yet it is unlikely that those mismatches always reflect LLMerror: it is also possible that sometimes the human coder made a suboptimal choice, especiallywith such a lengthy and complex task. (The humans needed to decide among 120 CSTA standardswhen choosing the standard most closely related to each state standard.) In other words, for acomplex and occasionally subjective task such as this, we cannot say with confidence that themismatches always reflect LLM errors. At the same time, there is evidence that the LLM choicewas at least sometimes a clear error (e.g., see Table 6). And the pattern of deeming

.* Correspondence: Miguel Andrés Guerra, MAGuerra@usfq.edu.ecAbstractIn the field of education, one of the primary challenges is the accurate assessment ofstudent learning, particularly in disciplines such as civil engineering and architecture,where traditional examinations are commonly employed. However, these exams ofteninduce significant levels of stress and anxiety, which can adversely affect studentperformance and lead to an incomplete or inaccurate reflection of their knowledge. Tomitigate this, recent studies have investigated the potential benefits of introducing a "coffeebreak" during exams as an intervention to reduce stress. This break provides students withan opportunity to relax, engage with peers, and reset before continuing the

Response ratesvaried between pre- and post-surveys, with lower participation observed in the post-course survey(39 versus 50 students). This difference in response rates between survey administrations must beconsidered when interpreting the longitudinal impacts of the office hours intervention.Additionally, many of the open-ended responses received were relatively brief, often consisting ofonly a few words or a single sentence. The brevity of these responses suggests that students mightnot have engaged in deep reflection about their office hours experiences, potentially limiting thedepth of insights that can be drawn from the

For this step, we needed to ensure that the data used to train the model accurately reflected patterns of dropout without being too closely tied to specific details that could skew the results. For example, columns related to second-semester grades and curricular unit data were removed because they directly indicated whether a student had dropped out or not. ● Data Preprocessing In this step, data were split into two categories: vector X_2 contains
