This $374,120 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to characterize the help resource landscape available to students in computing courses and understand how students from different backgrounds seek and utilize these resources. The project at North Carolina State University (NC State) has three primary goals: 1) Describe the current help resource landscape in computing courses, 2) Understand students' help-seeking behaviors and usage of different resources, and 3) Evaluate an intervention to improve students' understanding and utilization of help resources to enhance their self-regulated learning skills. The project will use quantitative and qualitative methods, including student interviews, to develop best practices for equitable computing course design and help resource implementation. The findings are expected to advance knowledge about how students navigate the academic help landscape and empower them with effective self-regulated learning strategies to succeed in computing courses.
