| Abstract: | Perceptions of recognition and identity can be shaped by various forms of feedback and experience. Here we focus on the potential effects of course grades. We analyze statistical patterns in changes in identity and perceived recognition from pre to post course in three years of data of students enrolled in many sections of calculus-based Physics 1 (𝑁=1681). In particular, regression models predicted post-semester survey means using pre-semester survey means and grade. Effects of gender and interactions of grade with gender were also included. All students showed declines in identity and perceived recognition after receiving lower grades. However, women showed larger declines, with a decline after receiving only a B that was similar to the declines men showed after receiving a C or a non-passing grade. |
