(Engeström), Daiute [48],[49] recognizes the social, dynamic nature of narratives to inform data collection and analysismethods. According to these theories, it is important to consider the interdependence inherent inthe broader context of experience and narration. This perspective aligns with this research as oursurvey reinforced the complexity of individual experiences of lifelong learning.In narrative research, the researcher needs to make plausible interpretations within the bounds ofthe narrative(s) because they capture complex experiences that are not aligned with hypothesistesting paradigms [50]. To bring forward meaningful evidence in interview approaches involvinghomogenous groups, 12 participants are typically sufficient for thematic
individual(s) involved in thematic analysis toengage in a phase of reflexivity [26] after the data have been classified. Reflexivity involvesquestioning the assumptions made during coding of the data to identify potential biases in thecoding and ultimately in the conclusions drawn from the data. Potential reflexivity bias isexplored in the Limitations section of this manuscript.In this study, thematic analysis was initially applied to identify broad themes in the data. Afterinitial patterns in the data were identified, one or more of these broad (primary) themes wereassigned to each student response. Once the dataset was broken down into this primary set ofthemes, responses within each theme were re-examined to determine whether secondary themeswere

Cruz & Kellam found that enjoyment of tinkering, a desire to be creative, and a need for multiple career options were predictive of engineering major choice along with math and science interest[11]. he decision to study engineering and succeed in the major is rarely separated from an interest inTmathematics and math class placement. Due to the impact COVID-19 has had on students' academic readiness, there is a need to understand more about pre-math-ready students pursuing engineering.

As a brief summary, DACE consists of thefollowing steps: 1. Calibration of the computer model(s) for the application of interest. 2.

Potential issues include the following:Selective Data ReportingResearchers involved in a startup or commercial activity might be tempted to present select dataor manipulate data, either intentionally or subconsciously (Cho et al., 2000). This can involvefocusing on specific datasets that align with the desired outcome for a venture, or altering data orits presentation. In extreme cases, this can lead to falsifying results, undermining scientificintegrity and trust in the individual researcher(s) and their research community.Suppression of Alternative HypothesesWhen the focus of research is closely tied to commercialization outcomes, there can be anunintended suppression of alternative hypotheses that might not support the new venture or itsbusiness

We found no statistically sig-nificant difference in the overall performance of students that elect to take a course online relativeto those that elect to take it in person.
