Assessment and EvaluationThis section focuses on results of formative evaluation performed since Fall 2021. Formativeevaluation data was gathered by monitoring the implementation of the CAPS program activitiesconducted to achieve the program goals and by monitoring the implementation of the Mentor+advisement and mentoring to participating scholars, and other student support activities. Due tothe Covid-19 pandemic shut down and later shift to virtual classes, many activities normally heldwere not scheduled. Between August 2021 and December 2021, three main CAPS

Such principles are embedded within theUniversal Design for Learning (UDL; [29, 30]) framework that guides educators to createinstructional and assessment approaches that can be easily adapted to fit learners’ diverse needs.Adopting this approach also lessens faculty reliance on university-sponsored Disability ResourceCenters, which tend to focus on compliance and preventing disability discrimination lawsuitsrather than on supporting the social and identity formation of

Second, the dramaturgical analysis reflected the student’s identityproduction differently due to the focus on subtexts and “character development” themecategories recommended by Saldana [8]. Dramaturgical analysis requires the researcher to re-consider the data as a monologue; thus requiring the researcher to implicitly consider theinterview data themselves as a site of identity production.

the initial steps of this work, faculty have not yet designed assessment instruments,and future work will require several semesters of data collection. Nevertheless, initial indicators, genericstudent evaluations, and overall grades are positive.Student success for this course was 67%, but two students with passing progress did not take the finalexamination and, therefore, count as failures (D, F, and W grades). If those students earned a passinggrade on the final exam, then student success would be 83%. For comparison, student success in face-to-face classes without these labs and quizzes was consistent, over many semesters, 70%. Indeed, thecurrent results do not deviate significantly from historical averages. Although the author can’t
suggests thatindividuals with high ESE are more likely to act when they believe they have theskills necessary to succeed [9]. In contrast, individuals who lack this belief tend to beless willing or able to act when faced with opportunities for entrepreneurship becauseof their perceived inability to perform well on tasks related to entrepreneurship [10].Previous research studies have found that ESE is not only used to assess theeffectiveness of educational programs, but is also one of the most reliable predictorsof EI [11]. Accordingly, several researchers have discovered that ESE plays animportant role in promoting a positive attitude toward starting a firm and pursuingentrepreneurship as a career [12], [13]. In addition, prior studies found ESE

A lab section starts in a common team and later separates into lab groups operating within private channels. The instructor can download an attendance spreadsheet from the common team at the start of the lab period and later complete an icon checkoff within each team’s private channel shortly after large group dismissal—both for attendance purposes and to quickly assess whether any temporary team reassignments are needed due to absences.3.

Ability Beliefs “Ability beliefs refer to students’ perceptions of their ability as a fixed trait 5 that is beyond their control, or as something that can change and grow. When the ability is viewed as fixed, the effort may be seen as futile, and failure as due to a lack of ability.” [22] Growth One’s belief that their basic abilities can be developed [23], [24]. 6 Mindset Academic Self-evaluation of one’s ability and/or chances for success in the academic
was nonexistent [15]. The fourth strategy of the established model involvedgranting extensions when submitting homework assignments. Given the rapid transition to remoteinstruction, it was anticipated that a considerable representation of students, particularly those fromunderserved and challenging communities, would encounter personal and/or academic challengesamidst the unprecedented crisis. As such, the instructor of the course clearly emphasized, via emailand during lecture sessions, the willingness of granting extensions to those experiencing personaland family distress, internet disruptions, or difficulty completing homework sets [15].Based on its assessment, Marquez and Garcia reported that students exposed to the CIRE modelwere

Myimpression was that students found the lab assignments to be more difficult than the average lab,but were typically not opposed to the work as they felt that the practiced skills would beapplicable to their future careers.After the completion of the class students were given a short anonymous survey to assess theiropinions of the lab assignments. The questions and student responses are summarized in Table.Students generally agreed that these assignments a

If it is less than or equal to 0, thenthe answer is “No”. If the TUS or GTS methods are used. This is arguably a fair assessment ofthe outcome. However, if the VTS method is used, there is more fidelity to the index with theadvent of consensus and normalization as shown in Table 5.Table 5: 1D SOWT Index Interpretation with consensus and normalization factored in.Consensus can only be applied if everyone on the SOWT analysis team has individual input as inthe VTS method.
