背景作为学生成功的预测指标,归属感 (SB) 对于工程环境中的少数族裔学生来说往往受到抑制,并且难以在在线课程中培养。因此,新冠肺炎 (COVID-19) 导致的远程学习形式的转变,对工程学一年级学生的 SB 构成了额外的威胁,尤其是那些具有少数族裔身份的学生。需要进行研究来了解在线学习对工科学生的 SB 的影响。目的假设该研究考察了远程课程中促进或削弱工程中 SB 的因素以及身份与 SB 相关的方式。设计方法作为一项更大的混合方法研究的一部分,本文检查了 2020 年 31 名一年级工科学生的焦点小组数据,以描述 COVID-19 期间在线学习的工程课程中的学生体验。结果除了 SB 和 SB 的相辅相成之外,研究结果表明,(a) 同伴互动、(b) 教师行为和课程设计、(c) 环境身份线索以及 (d) 个人和心理因素影响 SB。在远程授课课程中对 SB 做出积极贡献的因素包括与同龄人进行开放式交流的平台、“实时”提出复杂问题的能力以及大量具有相似身份的同龄人;阻碍 SB 的示例因素包括同步课堂中摄像头的有限使用、精英主义同伴互动、教师对学业成绩(相对于成长)的关注以及自我怀疑的感觉。结论身份和 COVID-19 都影响了学生的 SB,结果显示了支持 SB 和跨课程形式的工程领域不同学生学习的四种途径。
BackgroundA predictor of student success, sense of belonging (SB) is often inhibited for minoritized students in engineering environments and difficult to foster in online courses. A shift to remote learning formats necessitated by COVID‐19, therefore, posed an additive threat to SB for engineering first‐year students, especially those with minoritized identities. Research is needed to understand impacts of online learning to SB for engineering students.Purpose Hypothesis(es)The study examined factors that promoted or detracted from SB in engineering in remote courses and ways in which identity related to SB.Design MethodPart of a larger mixed‐methods study, this article examines focus group data from 31 first‐year engineering students in 2020 to characterize student experiences in engineering courses moved online during COVID‐19.ResultsIn addition to the mutually reinforcing nature of SB and learning, findings reveal that the major factors of (a) peer interactions, (b) instructor behavior and course design, (c) environmental identity cues, and (d) personal and psychological factors influenced SB. Examples of factors that positively contributed to SB in remote‐delivery courses included platforms for open communication with peers, “live” ability to ask complex questions, and a critical mass of peers of similar identity; example factors hindering SB included limited use of cameras in synchronous classes, elitist peer interactions, instructor focus on academic performance (vs. growth), and feelings of self‐doubt.ConclusionsBoth identity and COVID‐19 impacted SB for students, with results showing four pathways to support SB and learning for diverse students in engineering across course formats.
