Collaboration is key to STEM, where multidisciplinary team research can solve complex problems. However, inequality in STEM fields hinders their full potential, due persistent psychological barriers underrepresented students’ experience. This paper documents teamwork and explores the transformative potential of computational modeling generative AI promoting STEM-team diversity inclusion. Leveraging AI, this outlines two primary areas for advancing diversity, equity, First, formalizing...

 Collaborative problem-solving (CPS) has become an essential component of today’s knowledge-based, innovation- centred economy and society. As such, communication CPS are now considered critical 21st century skills incorporated into educational practice, policy, research. Despite general agreement that these important skills, there is less on how to capture sociocognitive processes automatically during team interactions gain a better understanding their relationship with outcomes. The...
We investigated the feasibility of automating modeling collaborative problem-solving skills encompassing both social and cognitive aspects. Leveraging a diverse array cutting-edge techniques, including machine learning, deep large language models, we embarked on classification qualitatively coded interactions within groups. These groups were composed four undergraduate students, each randomly assigned to tackle decision-making challenge. Our dataset comprises contributions from 514...
There has been long-standing stereotypes on men and women's communication styles, such as using more assertive or aggressive language women showing agreeableness emotions in interactions. In the context of collaborative learning, male learners often believed to be active participants while female are less engaged. To further explore gender differences behavior whether it changed online synchronous collaboration, we examined students interactions at a sociocognitive level with methodology...
Question generation as a form of learnersourcing is both metacognitive learning activity for students that encourages the development higher-order thinking skills and method producing question banks assessments. To better understand motivations learners who engage in its impacts on student learning, we conducted an experiment measured effects Multiple Choice (MCQ) introductory data science MOOC. We compared two approaches to generation: (i) required activity, (ii) optional activity. In...
High altitude (HA) exposure leads to cognitive impairment while the underlying mechanism is still unclear. Brain functional network crucial for advanced functions, and its alteration implicated in decline multiple diseases. The aim of current study was investigate topological changes HA-exposed brain network.Based on Shaanxi-Tibet immigrant cohort, neuropsychological tests resting-state MRI were applied evaluate participants' function connection (FC) changes, respectively. GRETNA toolbox...
Promoting diversity and equity in STEM requires ongoing assessment of progress addressing gender disparities. Historically, women have faced challenges such as a lower sense belonging reduced persistence higher education. Prior research found robust correlations between suggests intervention focusing on cultivating women's to increase their interest. We ask whether these gaps persist amongst motivated learners, we find men by the same reasons global online learning community. that while...
Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted teaching and learning activities in higher education around the world. As universities shifted to remote instruction response pandemic, it is important learn how students engaged during this challenging period. In paper, we examined changes learners’ social cognitive presence online discussion forums prior after instruction. We also extracted emergent topics as an attempt explore what talked about they interacted with their peers. forum posts between...
In this work, we focus on the mean-field limit of Random Batch Method (RBM) for Cucker-Smale model. Different from classical analysis, chaos in model is imposed at discrete time and propagated to flux. We approach separately limits number particles $N\to\infty$ interval $\tau\to 0$ with respect RBM, by using flocking property observation combinatorics. The Wasserstein distance used quantify difference between approximation original limit. Also, combine RBM generalized Polynomial Chaos (gPC)...
To achieve the highest level of intellectual excellence calls for greatest extent diversity. However, due to unjust institutional and societal barriers, field particle physics remains as one least diverse fields, severely limiting potential our scientific achievements. In order US Particle Physics Community, including accelerator science engineering remain at forefront global leadership, it is imperative community act urgently diligently improve status quo diversity, equity, inclusion,...
Collaborative problem-solving (CPS) is one of the most essential 21st century skills for success across educational and professional settings. The hidden-profile paradigm prominent avenues studying group decision making underlying issues in information sharing. Previous research on has primarily focused static constructs (e.g., size, expertise), or itself (whether certain pieces being shared). In current study, we propose a lens individual group's collaborative skills, to explore...
This study aims to investigate the effects of two-step blended computer mediated communication (CMC) peer review process (Word commenting followed by Zoom discussion) in an English writing course for 29 Chinese EFL learners, and their perceptions this mode. Compared with previous studies, findings are encouraging: 1) proportions revision-oriented comments students gave reached at a high level above 85% total comments; 2) more local comments, but ratio global areas was balanced (approximately...
