Examining the potential and pitfalls of ChatGPT in science and engineering problem-solving
The study explores the capabilities of OpenAI's ChatGPT in solving different types of physics problems. ChatGPT (with GPT-4) was queried to solve a total of 40 problems from a college-level engineering physics course. These problems ranged from well-specified problems, where all data required for solving the problem was provided, to under-specified, real-world problems where not all necessary data were given. Our findings show that ChatGPT could …
Effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on academic preparation and performance
Introduction Many experts have predicted a drop in students’ academic performance due to an extended period of remote instruction and other harmful effects of the pandemic. Methods As university instructors and education researchers, we sought to investigate the effects of the pandemic on students’ preparation for college-level coursework and their performance in early college using mixed effects regression models. Data were collected from STEM s…
The contribution of all-women tours to well-being in middle-aged Muslim women
For different reasons, some women experience all-women tours in different parts of the world. Certain aspects of all-women tours, such as their mental benefits, are studied in Western and Eastern countries. However, there is a dearth of study on all-women travels in Muslim-majority countries, despite the importance of women’s issues in such societies. By observing and interviewing eleven middle-aged women who participated in a 1-day, all-women, t…
An accurate and practical method for assessing science and engineering problem-solving expertise
The ability to solve authentic real-world problems in science, engineering, and medicine is an important goal in post-secondary education. Despite extensive research on problem solving and expertise, the teaching and assessing of advanced problem-solving skills in post-secondary students remains a challenge. We present a template for creating assessments of advanced problem-solving skills that is applicable across science, engineering, and medica…
Inclusive Instructional Practices
As national efforts strive to make STEM more inclusive, it is important to identify instructional practices that maximize effective learning for all and provide students from different demographic and educational backgrounds equal opportunities to excel. Here, we present a guideline for inclusive instructional practices based on findings from 1) cognitive psychology about learning and memory, 2) social psychology about creating inclusive discours…
Variation in Incoming Academic Preparation
Recent efforts to promote diversity in the sciences, technology, engineering and math (STEM) disciplines include widening access to colleges and universities for capable but academically underprepared students. Equally important in these efforts is to provide students with support after acceptance, particularly in large, introductory STEM courses. We found that under-represented minority students and first-generation college attendees underperfor…
