"I Am Not Alone": The Impact of Participating in a Group-Level Assessment for Undergraduate Women Engineering Students
Guy, Batsheva R.; Arthur, Brittany
i.e.: inquiry in education, v13 n2 Article 10 2021
Group level assessment (GLA) allows participants or co-researchers the opportunity to voice their opinions on a specific topic while also developing action strategies for change. The purpose of the method is to empower participants and provide them an outlet for sharing their experiences in addition to developing a salient action plan. In this article, we describe how the process of participating in a GLA impacted the undergraduate women engineering students who participated. We conclude that merely facilitating a GLA positively impacted participants, aside from the action steps. Women who participated in the GLA felt supported, thought that their voice was heard, and developed a heightened awareness of other women's experiences.
