Further, as many of the participants were early in their academic careers, theirexperiences may not reflect those who are farther along in their STEM studies. Due to the cross-sectional nature of this study, retention rates of participants within STEM majors were notmeasured. One of the individuals who participated in the focus groups started college as a STEMmajor but changed their major to history. This student provided feedback about theirexperiences after changing majors saying: "I've definitely felt more supported in the historydepartment. Maybe it's

Additionally, CT serves as a foundational skill fordata analysis and modeling across various engineering disciplines. Its widespread adoption inSTEM education institutions, as evidenced by the incorporation of Next Generation ScienceStandards (NGSS), reflects a positive trajectory in developing CT abilities and meeting thedemands for skilled technical workers [12]. The implementation of CT in engineering education necessitates a shift towards student-centered learning strategies to mirror the complexities of real-world problem-solving

in Spring 2023Overall, compared to previous years [18],[19] the gender and racial diversity of the eligibleapplicants and ACCESS scholars decreased despite the wide range of outreach efforts, some ofwhich specifically targeted underrepresented groups of students. The decline in diversity,especially compared to Cohort 1, may partially be due to the fact that many current WestVirginia University students from underrepresented groups, who were eligible for the ACCESSscholarship, applied and were selected in the earlier years of the ACCESS project. In addition,decreased diversity may be reflecting the broader trends in college enrollment, broader genderand racial disparities in Computer Science and

One unique advantage of Perkin et al.’s approach is that many of theitems provided a more detailed reflection on the specific context of doctoral education. Forexample, the dissertation advisor is proposed as a critical external source of recognition and thusthe following item was added: “My advisor(s) see me as a RESEARCHER.”2 Similarly, thecompetence scale in Perkins et al. work focuses more on specific competencies associated withresearch, such as delivering

As Black and Gregersen(2002) noted, the first step toward implementing organizational change is to be able to see a needfor change. When we initiated our KCURE program in 2020, we didn’t see a need for change.This study provided us time to pause and reflect on what we did not earlier see.

Marbach-Ad and Solokove [4]used a large sample of questions generated by biology students to develop a six-level, "semi-hierarchical” taxonomy based on question sophistication. Encouragingly, their work also showsthat students are able to pose more high-quality questions after being instructed in the taxonomyfor classifying the quality of their questions [5]. This approach has also been adapted forclassifying questions asked by physics students as part of a written reflection on their learning[6].Along with explanatory question taxonomies, question-asking can be

As the factor analysis results from the ECTD beta Aand B versions were not the desired model that can reflect the five computational thinkingfactors, there was a need for another round of revisions.Instead of designing two compatible versions A and B, the 30 items from the beta versions of theECTD were revisited for reanalyzes of content and face validity.
