This $399,481 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to improve the success and persistence of undergraduate students taking pre-calculus courses at a Hispanic Serving Institution. The project will implement an intervention program that includes exposure to campus resources, attribution retraining, and use of a pedagogical tool called an "exam wrapper" to promote self-reflection. The goal is to increase student motivation, self-efficacy, math achievement, and persistence in STEM fields, particularly for first-generation and minority students. The project uses a quasi-experimental design with three conditions to examine the combined effectiveness of the intervention components. Pre- and post-surveys will assess changes in student outcomes across the different conditions. The findings and materials developed through this project are expected to be disseminated through conference presentations, peer-reviewed publications, and other media.
