“You’re kind of considered like a leper”: A Narrative Inquiry Into How Significant Academic Struggles Impact Women Undergraduate Science Students’ Sense of Belonging at an Institution.

Abstract

While there has been significant research on both how academic struggles such as being placed on academic probation impact college students, as well as factors that impact the sense of belonging for college students, there has been little research examining how a significant academic struggle impacts a students' perception of sense of belonging at that institution. This qualitative study explores how an academic struggle impacts students' sense of belonging at that institution, as well as other findings from this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
