IntroductionGrades, and by extension grade point average (GPA), are among the most frequently used indicators ofstudent success in both research and practice. In education research, GPA is often used as a measure ofacademic performance, and has been studied in a variety of settings and alongside a variety of correlates,such as self-efficacy or motivation [1]. In U.S. colleges and universities, grades and GPA are used tomeasure performance in the classroom, determine eligibility for

When sense of belonging is lacking, students’ academic performance suffers [9].Sense of Belonging in Online EnvironmentsPilcher [13] extended Strayhorn’s [7] sense of belonging work and applied it to a review of theliterature on establishing community in online learning spaces. Two models of communitydevelopment in online learning spaces emerged in Pilcher’s [13] literature review: (1) aconceptual framework called Community of Inquiry (COI), which explains that teaching, social,and cognitive presence contribute to community development, and (2) a measurement modelcalled Rovai’s Classroom Community Scale

-19 pandemic differs from these earlier and continuing trends in distance learning, notonly in terms of scale and pervasiveness, but, importantly, also in self-efficacy. This switch wasinvoluntary for both teachers and learners. Wei and Chou found that learners’ perceptions ofself-efficacy had a marked effect on their learning readiness in the remote environment [23]. Thisleads to challenges with engagement, as observed in several studies [11-16]. Serhan evaluatedstudent perceptions of the Zoom platform and found that students were not motivated to activelyparticipate in a remote setting [16]. This is in line with prior studies that report a lower level ofengagement, participation and retention rates [17], [26] and overall reduced

These survey items had a 7-point response scale, with the exception of the math confidence (or self-efficacy) items that had a5-point scale. The survey also included additional items, but these are beyond the scope of theresearch questions explored in this paper. The pre and post surveys in 2017 and 2018 included afairly large number of items (73), with additional questions added to the post survey in fall 2018.Concerns with the length of the survey and quality of student responses led to an effort tooptimize the survey
