Validation is a crucial component of the learning process, as it helps individuals feel a sense of belonging and purpose within their educational environment. Yet, there is a dearth of literature that speaks to practical classroom practices that validate women’s sense of belonging without putting the onus directly on them. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine validating practices and messages that contributed to women’s engineering classroom belongingness. This study used survey data of engineering students collected from nine 4-year institutions. Multiple regression analysis with interaction effects was used to understand how practices and messages differentially validated classroom belongingness when considering an intersectional lens. Our findings identified strategies that could help remedy classroom belongingness for women based on racial/ethnic representation in engineering, parents’ level of education, transfer status, and institution type. Instructors have a crucial role to play in fostering student belongingness, but it must be done with attention to the different practices and messages that speak to students about their fit in engineering. Identifying specific validating mechanisms practiced by both instructors and peers can provide engineering educators with concrete strategies to continue supporting women’s sense of belonging in the engineering culture. We conclude with recommendations of how to enact validating messages and teaching practices to promote classroom belongingness.","PeriodicalId":35299,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Women and Minorities in Science and Engineering","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135445438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Intensive research training programs for historically underrepresented undergraduates may include multiple components, such as authentic research experiences, advising and mentoring, supplemental curriculum, and financial assistance. Following comprehensive support during program participation, the post-program transition may present a vulnerable period in students' career trajectories. This study used a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach to investigate the experiences of students completing an intensive research training program to understand and develop recommendations for the post-program transition process. As a team of program alumni, academic researchers, and program staff, we developed, conducted, and analyzed semi-structured, open-ended interviews of recent program alumni and students approaching program completion (n=11; 55% female, 55% non-White). Applying thematic analysis at semantic and latent levels through a critical paradigm revealed the transition as a bittersweet experience, with feelings of pride and accomplishment mixed with sadness and anxiety. Findings also suggested the transition is described as a narrative influenced by preceding program experiences and adaptations. Financial concerns were prominent, and specific barriers and facilitators of successful transition included: aligned mentoring, negotiation of continued research employment, consideration of culture, planning for next steps, and engagement with the scholar community. Collaboratively, we developed recommendations for program improvements potentially relevant to similarly intensive STEM diversity programs. We also highlight the value of a CBPR approach that includes students equitably as co-researchers in program research and evaluation.</p>","PeriodicalId":35299,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Women and Minorities in Science and Engineering","volume":"29 4","pages":"29-54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10434840/pdf/nihms-1915810.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10047777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
