The reflection quality here refers to specificity orvagueness of reflections. Based on our prior research on the significance of the reflection qualityon student learning [1], we developed a coding schema to specify the degree of reflection’squality. We further used the Comprehensive Assessment of Team Member Effectiveness(CATME) for peer and self-evaluation on five dimensions. Initial findings reveal statisticallysignificant relations between five aspects of CATME and reflection’s quality. We also conductedlinear regression analyses to explore how these five

a mutual relationship where the teacher and the student are both participants in thelearning journey. This type of relationship in the learning environment can contribute to agrowing awareness of the power of peer-led learning which fosters deeper student engagement inSTEM education (Micari, et al., 2005). Peer-led team learning has been found to illuminate thebenefits of peer-led learning by placing students in small project groups facilitated by their peers.These sessions foster shared responsibility for processes and outcomes, thereby breaking downthe isolation common in more traditional classroom settings (Whitcomb & Singh, 2021).Borrowing from the near-peer model where an undergraduate student completes a summerteaching internship

Teaching assistants (TAs) arecommonly used in first-year engineering classes to provide instruction, grade student work,provide peer mentoring, and assist in course content delivery and development. In this large first-year program specifically, TAs are relied on heavily due to the high number of students. TheOhio State University has a teaching model that includes Faculty members, Graduate TeachingAssociates (GTAs), and Undergraduate Teaching Assistants (UTAs) in its first-year engineeringprogram.

This may limit some facultymembers’ use of online tools. In addition, criteria for evaluating quality and effectiveness ofonline teaching have not been well established.2.2 Research PracticesFaculty members routinely write grant proposals and review scholarly publications.

All of these, unless specificallyprescribed, don’t encourage the remote learner to connect with or collaborate with other students.When communication is a required component of a course, it often consists of shallow, teacher-mandated standards of communication with little student benefit other than attempting to helpstudents connect or provide unmotivated peer review, which doesn’t often lead to genuinediscussion. When learning is checked through standardized quizzing and lists, there is also a highrisk of cheating, where students can share answers or find them online during a testing session,which further reduces the authenticity of the learning and
