- Abstract
SCL has been shown to benefit students through enhanced student autonomy, engagement, confidence, critical thinking, reflecting thinking, problem solving, and a more meaningful learning experience and has specifically been shown to increase retention and success of historically underrepresented students [[29]]. Educators can also implement ungrading, a recent assessment style where instructors provide ungraded and extensive feedback to students and jointly come to a consensus with each student on what their final grade should be, with some ungrading proponents advocating for students being the sole decider of grades [[39]]. Ten simple rules for supporting historically underrepresented students in science Both in the classroom and through mentoring, utilizing an asset-based approach in which educators can draw upon the knowledge of their students (e.g., asking students to share the knowledge they have gained about science from their family or culture) helps integrate community experience and learning.
