3.3. Online Pre- and Post-Test Changes
3.4. Comparison of Change Scores for F2F vs. Online Groups
3.5. Comparison of Time Periods: Pre-, During, and Post-COVID
4. Discussion
5. Conclusions
- Statistical regression with similar large data sets to determine the impact of social identities on learning outcomes—do different sub-groups perform better in different platforms?
- Analysis of rigorous qualitative data for phenomenological understanding of DEIJ course experiences, including the benefits and challenges of online learning for this content—as examples, online discussion board content could be compared with recorded face-to-face discussions in labs, or focus groups could discuss their learning experiences in these different platforms.
- Additional big data studies of the impact of the pandemic period on values and beliefs—in this data set the shift in values seems to be lasting rather than a temporary blip in reaction to pandemic circumstances with a later return to pre-COVID BEVI scores. As we move on from the pandemic period, does the change seem permanent, and if so, what implications do these shifts in beliefs and values hold for DEI learning and higher education in general?

Core Needs | Needs Fulfillment | Open to experiences, needs, and feelings; deep care/sensitivity for self, others, and the larger world | Increased Scores |
Identity Diffusion (ID) | Indicates painful crisis of identity; fatalistic regarding negatives of marital/family life; feels “bad” about self and prospects | Ethnic Majority students—Increase Score preferred Ethnic Minoritized Students—Decrease Score preferred An increase in ID scores may be interpreted as good, especially in the short term, and particularly for students whose pre-test scores are low (often including those who represent an ethnic majority) as an increase in ID could be indicative of a state of questioning or reflection about their sense of self and their place in the world that could support their learning. In contrast, a decrease in ID may be seen as good for others, such as students who start out very high in ID (and are perhaps in an identity “crisis”) or those who belong to a marginalized group, as this decrease could reflect increased cultural self-awareness and self-acceptance, and a lessening of confusion or anxiety surrounding identity. | |
Tolerance of Disequilibrium | Basic Openness | Open and honest about the experience of basic thoughts, feelings, and needs | Increased Scores |
Critical Thinking | Basic Determinism | Prefers simple explanations for differences/behavior; believes people don’t change/strong will survive | Decreased Scores |

Self Access | Meaning Quest | Searching for meaning; seeks balance in life; resilient/persistent; highly feeling; concerned for less fortunate | Increased Scores |
Self-Awareness | Introspective; accepts complexity of self; cares for human experience/condition; tolerates difficult thoughts/feelings | Increased Scores | |
Gender Traditionalism | Prefers traditional/simple views of gender and gender roles | Decreased Scores | |
Sociocultural Openness | Progressive/open regarding actions, policies, and practices in culture, economics, education, environment, gender/global relations, politics | Increased Scores | |
Global Access | Global Resonance | Invested in learning about/encountering different individuals, groups, languages, cultures; seeks global engagement | Increased Scores |
