Computing Identity and Persistence Across Multiple Groups Using Structural Equation ModelingAbstractDespite the projected growth of computer and information technology occupations, manycomputing students fail to graduate. Studying students’ self-beliefs is one way to understandpersistence in a school setting. This paper explores how students' disciplinary identity sub-constructs including competence/performance, recognition, interest, and sense of belongingcontribute to academic persistence. A survey of 1,640 students as part of an NSF grant wasconducted at three South Florida metropolitan public universities. A quantitative analysis wasperformed which included a structural equation model (SEM) and a multigroup SEM. The

% to 40% of new graduates in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM), business, and any field involving quantitative analysis would have to become thesedata-literate managers and analysts, in order to meet the United States demand of two to fourmillion by 2024 [2]. The authors stress the importance of data visualization to support decision-making. To add to the complexity, some workers can and will take on more than one role,especially in small and medium-sized organizations.What we have referred to as ‘workforce needs’ may be more correctly characterized as growthpotential, in the sense that most industries are still capturing only a fraction of the potential valuefrom data and analytics [2].
