. Students’ attrition occurs most frequently in the first and secondyear of their academic programs; in fact, more than 60 percent of dropouts occur in these years.These rates are especially troubling for undergraduate STEM students from historicallymarginalized communities. Several factors play a significant role in STEM undergraduatestudents’ attrition, such as poor-quality teaching and advising, curriculum difficulty, lack ofbelonging, lack of interaction between students and faculty, financial difficulties, and lack ofhands-on project activities. The goals of this paper are to (1) identify the main factors that hinderundergraduate STEM students’ interest, success, and perseverance, particularly those frommarginalized communities, which

The results of the study demonstrated that living in the learning communityand studying the concepts of intercultural competence while interacting with students of diversebackgrounds allowed the students to develop interculturally. Also, engaging students in guidedreflection helped them to reflect on the intercultural skills that they developed through constantinteraction with peers that requires efficient communication among the team members. Similarly,in another study by Swartz et al.

Our project focuses on three facets of building communities: cultural responsiveness,drawing on family support and connectedness, and building student cohorts [2, 3, 4]. Culturalresponsiveness, which includes building community and a sense of belonging, has shown tobenefit students in many areas, such as satisfaction and academic success. Culturalresponsiveness benefits students and families from all backgrounds, including all socioeconomicbackgrounds, geographic communities, ability groups, genders, religions, etc., by 1) promotinginstructional practices that accommodate and affirm student differences; 2) prioritizing students’academic development; 3) building educational environments that

of giving agency to students to offerfeedback to each other throughout the life of a project. However, it can be hard to abstractindividual contributions to team progress in project-based learning. The more complex theproject, the more functions the team performs, resulting in overlapping roles andresponsibilities [25]. A key factor here is allowing sufficient time between assessments forfeedback to be implemented, allowing members the chance to revise their strategies [16].Some of these challenges can be addressed through the use of templates, such as IDEALS[26], that provides a comprehensive assessment schema for team activities. The involvementof facilitators and teachers also needs to be considered, particularly the amount ofintervention
