FTC engages students with STEM concepts, offering them uniquehands-on experiences through project-based learning, which serves as an ideal “Practice”component in the proposed LPS framework. 2) The judge room presentation component of theFTC competitions requires students to document, reflect, and learn from their experiences andthis helps us gather necessary data to evaluate the design, implementation, and results of the LPSframework. 3) Compared with other educational robotics platforms such as VEX [20], B.E.S.T[21], and World Robot Olympiad (WRO) [22], FTC’s motto of Gracious Professionalism moreaccurately addresses the service component of the

refers to the availability of employment opportunities, jobstability, working environment conditions, as well as comprehensive satisfaction suchas personal income and development. With the changes in the employment rate ofvocational college graduates and higher quality requirements, the focus of the graduategroup has shifted from simply finding a job to considering employment quality.Therefore, employment quality is a reflection of problems in the field of employmentquality, which includes subjective and objective aspects. From a subjective perspective,employment quality refers to individual workers' subjective satisfaction with their work,including the pleasure and social identity brought by work. It also refers to what kindof job individual

. Then, theyimplement these strategies. Finally, the problem solver reflects on their performance [1] [2]. Forill-structured problems where the solution path is not immediately obvious, the systematicapproach of self-regulated learning can help students navigate the possible difficulties and deadends. If a solution method does not work out, the problem solver can reflect on this and try adifferent approach.The Model of Domain Learning is another conceptual framework that can be applied to problemsolving. The goal is to understand how novices build expertise and become experts [3] [4]. Inthis framework, the learner progress through three stages. In the first stage, Acclimation, thelearner has little knowledge of a field, and the knowledge is

Interview questions (Table 1) were developed by theresearch team and were piloted for clarity. Participants were sent the interview questions prior tothe interview to allow them to gather class data and reflect on the differences beforehand.Table 1.

This mismatch cultivates a system ofexclusion for minoritized students: students are led to think they can succeed during outreach,only to be told they are not allowed in during recruitment.Holloway et al. [44] listed 11 major factors used to admit or deny students during the collegeapplication review process by IHEs in the years 2006-2010: (1) “subject matter expectations (thenumber of semesters of math, science, English, social studies, and foreign language that eachstudent is required to have taken in high school), (2) overall high school grade point average(GPA) (3) core high school GPA (English, math, science, foreign language, and social studiesclasses

Themedian residual time for participants is between 10 and 30 hours per week, which appears tocenter around the average of 19.5 hours measured [1].

anonymous surveys are used in this study to judge the impact ofGrOW. The surveys contain both self-reflection questions and quantitative questions to evaluate“success”. The self-reflection questions judge adjustment to graduate school and feelings ofbelonging and self-worth using a 5-point Likert scale. The quantitative questions gather metricssuch as GPA, number of publications, and fellowships earned. The surveys are attached in theappendix for reference.Survey 1 was distributed in August 2022, after the first event of the GrOW program. Twenty-threeattendees participated in the survey.

The NGSS shifted science instruction to incorporate cross-cutting (utilizing common themes among STEM disciplines) engineering standards and expandon computational thinking skills [2]. However, as technology and computing have advanced, theNGSS do not reflect the modern skills needed for computing to

In this study, social capital is defined asthe number of friends a student indicated they work with academically—in other words, thenumber of friends a student also uses as an academic resource.The clustering coefficient is a measure of network density, reflecting the interconnectedness ofan individual’s egonet. Figure 2 shows two different students’ social networks. The left socialnetwork has a clustering coefficient of 0.14. This is a low clustering coefficient which indicatesthat the ego’s network of friends are mostly not friends with each other. Each node is connectedto the ego, but there are only a few

ConclusionThis study introduces a method for educators to effectively evaluate students' behavior in thecontext of team projects, using data drawn from their activity on the 'Slack' messagingplatform and statistical techniques. By analyzing student posts on Slack, changes in student'MGUDS-S' global competence scores, and other data related to their communication andgroup activity, we were able to identify significant correlations between students'contributions, MGUDS-S scores, and group dynamics.

However, the questions were not written such that an equitable statisticalcomparison could be made between the participants before the study and after the study. Thequestions in the post-workshop survey asked how participants felt that they improved in thedifferent categories, with the Likert scale ranging from no improvement to significantimprovement.

However, Omar perceived his work as separate from efforts in diversity or equity, the“science side of things.” Later in the interview, Omar also mentioned that he did not have a lot ofinvolvement with the Center outside of his lab, lab work, and advisor.
