For example, concept questions are commonly used within Peer Instruction (PI) [12], ateaching practice that asks students to complete a concept question, asks them to talk to theirpeers about the answer choices, and then asks students to redo it. PI has been shown to promoteimproved learning outcomes [5], [12], [13], [24] - [30], making teaching practices that utilizeconcept questions promising to probe into student understanding.In this study, students were often asked to justify their answer choice in writing. Such a practiceencourages writing-to-learn (WTL) through a low-stakes reasoning task. WTL in STEM classeshas been

Participants will be asked to reflecton their ability to engage in conversations with peers, whether discussing day-to-day work or addressingconflicts. For example, one prompt might ask, "How comfortable are you in addressing a colleague whena work-related issue arises?" Another question could focus on interactions with higher-ups, assessing theparticipant's ease in communicating with managers or supervisors. The goal is to gauge the

In a recent study [17], a learningcommunity was built along with a summer immersion program, a peer mentoring program, and afirst-year experience course. The summer immersion program linked science and social justiceissues with hands-on activities and built a sense of belonging. The results showed increasedsuccess in the first year and those that participated were more likely to graduate. The study notedthat this type of community may not be appropriate for commuter populations if studentintegration cannot be balanced with maintaining connections to their home communities.Overall
