theconstruct validity of the instrument with exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. The scalecontained three factors representing the three presences: teaching (TP), social (SP), and cognitive(CP). The TP consisted of 10 items (Items 1, 4-8, 10, 12-13, 17). The SP consisted of 3 items(Items 3, 11, 16). The CP consisted of 5 items (Items 2, 9, 14-15, 18). The total variance was67.63%. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted as well. The fit index was χ2/df=1.74,RMSEA=0.071, CFI=0.98, NFI=0.96, and NNFI=0.98. The key to the instrument and the associatedscoring method are listed below. Mean scores are calculated on a five-point basis: A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2,E=1.A=Deserves an award in this area; excellent,B=Very Good,C=Good,D=Does not perform well

activities they felt they wereengaged in between the start and the end of the program. Data collected on this topic are summarizedbelow. a) For experiential learning, the percentage of students reporting either 1 or 2 opportunities or more than 2 opportunities increased from 62.5% to 100% over the program period. b) For professional development, the percentage of students reporting either 1 or 2 opportunities or more than 2 opportunities increased from 87.5% to 100% over the program period. c) For doing a scientific research project, the percentage of students reporting either 1 or 2 opportunities or more than 2 opportunities increased from 87.5% to 100% over the program period.”What can be summarized from above is
