FormatTo facilitate the easy distribution and collection of the exam results, students took the examusing an online testing tool hosted inside a standard web browser. Only those students enrolledin the course were given access to the exam. Individual exam results were automaticallytabulated and sent to the course staff once each exam was completed. In addition, if a studentencountered a technical difficulty with the exam that prevented him/her from completing it, s/hewas given an opportunity to take it again and each attempt was logged separately. Fortunately,this only happened to a small number of students and there was no effect on the overall examresults.3.2 Testing SampleThe exam was initially given to a group of approximately 350 students in

negatively [5,6,7].Thus, more effective support for community college students transferring to four-yearinstitutions is needed to ensure their success [8]. One way to address this situation and secure thesuccess of transfer students is the creation of programs that provide institutionalized support totransfer students post-transfer. The NSF funded S-STEM scholarship programs are one exampleof such institutionalized support programs.They not only provide financial support to thestudents, but also have students engage in co-curriculum cohort activities including mentoring,academic advising, tutoring, social activities and career development activities [9].However, to develop the best support system possible, we need to have a clear understanding
inpsychological studies [22-26]. The continued curiosity in the theory of identity is attributed to thesignificance of understanding an individual in social settings and how they appear in society.Identity theory proposes individuals have several identities framed in hierarchal order. Commonly,identity is considered as categories used to establish the societal role for an individual. A coreobjective of identity theory is to indicate how the categories associated to an individual’s differentidentities are assigned and controlled during interactions. In the late 60’s Erik Erikson positedidentity formation essential to the development of an adolescent. Erikson’s framing of identityconsiders a process dually positioned in the core of an individual and

the importance of recognizing issues and variationsin emotional responses, particularly in students facing math difficulties. They highlight the dynamicnature of these emotional states, which can significantly shift across diverse learning activities andinfluence the engagement level [37]. For example, negative emotions raise frustration levels whichcan be helpful during focused learning and problem–solving s but when the time constraint isinvolved, the same emotion can be the reason for a lower engagement level [1].The second research question focused on the specific emotions have researchers proposed aspotential indicators of deeper cognitive engagement in educational settings.

Example 1:“Linear discriminant analysis” has no algorithmic settings and means a specific function Example 2: “discriminant analysis” is unclear (i.e. there are many discriminant variants such as linear and quadratic) Example 3: Artificial neural networks have many settings (number of nodes, number of layers, types of nodes, training methods, architecture variant). All of these must be specified for repeatability Data Details – do the authors describe the source of the data or the collection means? Do they cite a source? Do they describe all data variables?

While this seems to be,and arguably is, problematic, as Pippert and colleagues point out, this could potentially be aresult of the aspirations of IHEs – by depicting greater diversity, more diverse students may wantto enroll, which will create more diverse campuses. To that notion, Gibbs [68] argues – and weagree – that “persuasive marketing” by IHEs is unethical, and that colleges should resistemploying such strategies.This concept of disingenuous marketing was reproduced in Henslee et al.’s 2017 mixed methodsstudy examining undergraduate, first-year student perceptions of the college viewbook at

Kuratko, Fisher, andAudretsch’s [28] study from a business context describes EM as consisting of three aspects:cognitive, behavioral, and emotional, positing that without all three working together, anindividual’s EM has not reached its fullest potential.The KEEN 3Cs framework captures multiple elements of EM, including motivations, skills, andoutcomes. London et al.’s [12] study developed a conceptual framework for the 3Cs that includesboth mindset outcomes (attitudes) and behavioral outcomes (actions).

Weanalyzed three years of survey data from 159 youth who participated in after-school learningprograms at our research site. We also conducted interviews with three adult program staffmembers who administered the different assessments and collected their observations andreflections about youth’s attitudes towards them. Through participant observation and a focusgroup with 8 youth employees, we studied attitudes towards self- and peer-reviews in aprofessional training program housed at the center.

Thesurveys each consist of four, validated constructs which use Likert-scale items to measurestudent attitudes toward science, mathematics, engineering and technology, 21st century skills.The surveys also contain a comprehensive section measuring student interest in STEM careers.The surveys have been administered to over 10,000 fourth through twelfth grade students inNorth

Participants self-identified theirdemographics by selecting from categorical response options including write-in text options. Thesample is predominantly men (65%), and white (66%), which reflects the general populationcharacteristics among contemporary U. S. engineering undergraduates. Most participantsidentified as heterosexual/straight (88%) with 9% identifying as asexual, bisexual, gay, lesbian,pansexual, queer, or another sexual identity. Students reported a range of disabilities, withpsychological conditions predominating at 13% of the sample.Table 1
