those who would have struggled more in their absence.Following the Fall 2022 quarter, a survey was given to the SS students to provide feedback ontheir perception of the SI sessions. Nineteen of the twenty-four responded. While a more in depthlook at the survey is planned for the future, an initial review of the feedback indicates allrespondents viewed the SI sessions as beneficial to their overall course grades in math andengineering. They also had unanimous positive reflections on the community building aspects ofthe SI sessions. Some sample responses to the prompt “Do you think the community buildingaspect of the SUCCESS Scholars Program helped your performance in the math and engineeringclasses? Explain” are: “I do because it helps me

, instructors and researchers found that students feel lessstress or anxiety during timed assessments [7], and they appreciate the opportunities to reattemptthe concepts, without being penalized for early mistakes. Instructors also feel that their gradesare a better reflection of students' actual learning [1].Purpose and research questionsIn light of the importance of helping students succeed in this class, which sets the foundation forfuture courses, and the benefit that alternative grading systems can help students reduce theirstress levels and focus on learning, the author has implemented the mastery grading approach inher Calculus I class, described below. The following questions guided this pilot study: 1. How, if at all, do student

importance of planning, executing and evaluating subjects that are linked to the interestsand objectives of the courses in which these ones are being offered, reflecting on what skillswe want students to acquire and how these are used in their careers.Prado [4] also suggest that it is necessary to develop a more contextualized, consolidated andattractive course, applying multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary activities, using activemethodologies, articulating practice and theory with the support of software, a fact that is alsohighlighted in the document that in Brazil guides the organization of engineering programs,the National Curriculum Regulations for Engineering Education (DCN1) [13].Stewart, Larson, and Zandieh [7] emphasize the need of

As the team tookmeasurements, they engaged in reflective discussions about the pumping phenomenon as seen intheir data sheet (Fig. 3). Fig. 3. Notes Extract from Team 1’s Data Collection.Team 1 also developed their interpretation of the efficiency concept based on their measurementprocess, pump manipulation, and interpretation of using the pump to supply water to las coloniascommunity.

finalized codebook. Table 2 defines the four S’s alongside the transition types in the study context. We organized the results by the type of transition and highlighted how students' experiences map to the four S’s of Schlossberg’s transition theory. . TrustworthinessEReporting on the quality, credibility, and validation of qualitative research are best practices to ensure the study's trustworthiness[33]. In engineeringeducation, Walther et al.[34]provide validation strategies to ensure the quality and trustworthiness of qualitative research. heoretical validation of a study should reflect the complexity of the lived experience underTinvestigation. This can be validated through the use of an opposing case

as the average of all items. Previous research efforts have shown that thismeasure of outcome expectations is directly related to social cognitive outcomes, includingpersistence intentions [36], [45]. Good internal reliability for the three items was obtained withCronbach’s 𝛼 = .90. Engineering Identity. The Identity as a Scientist instrument developed by Chemers andcolleagues (2010) was adopted and modified specifically for engineering to reflect a student’sself-identification as an engineer. Participants’ engineering identity was measured using three ofChemers and colleagues’ [46] original six identity items. Items were rated on a scale 7-pointLikert scale (1-strongly disagree to 7-strongly agree). Participants indicated their

3083Similarly, using either Pearson’s Chi-Squared test for independence or Fisher’s exact test (p-value 0.027 or 0.023 respectively) resulted in rejecting the null hypothesis that gender isindependent of student’s outcome (Pass or FW). Analysis supports that gender and the studentoutcome are not independent. Specifically, female students have a significantly higher passingrate. Predicting student success based on ethnicity, gender, and all the interactions between thosevariables using a logistic regression model is significantly better than a null model (p-value <9.83(10)-16 using a drop in deviance test). However, in this model no individual factor wassignificant in predicting student success (all p-values > 0.05).These findings reflect

, synthesis, reflection, and evaluation of thematerial being taught [38]. This approach includes a range of teaching methods such as briefreflective writing assignments, think-pair-share activities, flipped classroom models, inquiry-based learning, and cooperative learning strategies. These methods not only enhance students'engagement and personal commitment to their studies but also improve motivation, enjoyment,depth of learning, critical thinking abilities, as well as retention rates and academic performancein classroom settings.
