Therefore, the researcher will request an extension for the project for one moreyear. Self-regulated learning (SRL), or self-regulation, is defined broadly as a complexrepository of knowledge and skills for planning, implementing, monitoring, evaluating, andcontinually improving the learning process [1]. The effective use of self-regulation helps astudent oversee his or her learning process by interpreting requirements, planning andmonitoring ongoing cognitive activities, and comparing outcomes with internal and externalstandards [2]. The influence of SRL in learning and problem solving has been demonstrated

These two variables, when taken in combination, alsodistinguish the overall college experience of students. 4STEM Major PersistenceThere is little national research available on major retention. Major retention is challenging tomeasure as students declare majors and never begin coursework. Others begin coursework yetonly formally declare majors in their second or even third year of study.

To create the largest possibleimpact in a rural educational community, this program selects participants who are the only mathor science teacher in their school building.

All 13 instructors plan to continue to use POGIL in their IntroCS courses.IntroductionProcess Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) is a pedagogy that organizes students inlearning teams to develop both content knowledge and process skills (e.g. problem solving,teamwork, and written/oral communication). Compared to most other active learning strategies,POGIL is more explicitly constructive because of the way its activities are designed andfacilitated. POGIL uses an explore-invent-apply learning cycle [1] by incorporating models(e.g., figures, tables, equations, code snippets) and a sequence of
