Exploring Student Self-Assessment in General Education: A Pilot Study Using Surveying Tools
Cristo E. Yáñez León, James Lipuma, Jeremy P. Reich, and Yi Meng
Title: Exploring Student Self-Assessment in General Education: A Pilot Study Using Surveying Tools Authors: Cristo Ernesto Yáñez León, James Lipuma, Yi Meng, Jeremy Reich Conference: Congreso Internacional de Investigación Academia Journals Tláhuac 2023 Venue: Instituto Tecnológico de Tláhuac II, CDMX, México Date: September 13-14, 2023.
This research article delves into an innovative pilot study examining student self-assessment in the realm of General Education Requirements (GER) within a STEM-focused university. Employing a tailored survey based on AAC&U VALUE Rubrics and utilizing a 5-point Likert scale, the study contributes to the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) accreditation review. Our findings explore the congruence between self-assessed student awareness and institutional benchmarks, shedding light on the efficacy of out-of-course pre-and post-tests. The research unveils pivotal insights into student awareness and paves the way for inter-domain dialogue in educational assessment. This study serves as a crucial step toward improving institutional effectiveness in GER and broadens the application of self-assessment mechanisms across diverse educational settings.

Final Project Report NSF Award 1744490: NSF INCLUDES DDLP: Leadership and iSTEAM for Females in Elementary school (LiFE): An Integrated Approach to Increase the Number of Women Pursuing Careers in STEM
Bruce G. Bukiet, James Lipuma, and Nancy Steffen-Fluhr

This Project Outcomes Report for the General Public is displayed verbatim as submitted by the Principal Investigator (PI) for this award. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this Report are those of the PI and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation; NSF has not approved or endorsed its content.
The LiFE project created and studied a comprehensive program bringing together iSTEAM, holistic student growth, modern technologies, and other supports to engage girls in STEM experiences through a collective impact approach.
LiFE supported STEAM clubs with role models and utilized research-based best practices in co-design and community involvement. Educators were supported with relevant professional development for hands-on STEM, and 21st-century skills, including leadership and communication.
LiFE's goal was to impact 200 girls in grades 3-6 from four schools in 3 NJ districts. Interest in participation in the project was greater than we expected which enabled the project to expand.
