Jay Plasman; Michael Gottfried; Filiz Oskay – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
Demand for engineering-interested and proficient high school graduates continues to grow across the nation. However, there remains a severe gap in college participation and employment in engineering fields for students with learning disabilities (SWLDs). One potential way to encourage SWLDs to consider engineering as a profession and promote the…

Watkins, Shari Earnest; McGowan, Brian L. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Drawing on racial battle fatigue as theoretical framing and critical race methodology, we offer the counterstories of 16 Black men doctoral scientists and engineers who relied on same race peer support to successfully persist in their science and engineering (S&E) doctoral programs. Our analysis of narratives and interviews yielded three…

Calabrese Barton, Angela; Schenkel, Kathleen; Tan, Edna – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
In this article, it is argued that processes of co-production can support teachers and students in organizing resources for justice through science learning. Drawing upon a critical justice conceptual framework, critical ethnographic data from one urban middle school classroom during a unit focused on engineering for sustainable communities were…

Payne, Corey; Crippen, Kent J. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
Persistence is a major issue facing students, particularly those who are both female and from underrepresented ethnic minorities (URM). A closer look at the variables affecting their commitment and capacity for continuing the pursuit of their goal allows us to better design support systems that bolster persistence. This study tests a structural…

Faber, Courtney J.; Kajfez, Rachel L.; Lee, Dennis M.; Benson, Lisa C.; Kennedy, Marian S.; Creamer, Elizabeth G. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Undergraduate research experiences (UREs) in science and engineering offer a number of positive outcomes to the students who are able to participate, including increased retention, clarified career goals, and development of problem-solving skills. There have been a number of calls for research that investigates the experiences, identity, and…

Jiang, Yang; Brockway, Debra; Moon, Jung Aa – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
The interrelationship of science and engineering and the recent inclusion of engineering in K-12 science standards have promoted the incorporation of engineering design in science classrooms. However, empirical studies on the impacts of engineering design on science learning show mixed findings and indicate that factors such as the complexity of…

Scott E. Grapin; Marisleydi Ramos Borrego; Vijay Gallardo Navarro – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2025
Research on translanguaging in science and engineering education has grown rapidly. Studies carried out across diverse contexts converge in their commitment to fostering equity in science and engineering learning for linguistically marginalized learners. However, the rapid growth of this research area has exposed different approaches to…

Heidi B. Carlone; Megan Lancaster – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2025
Elementary engineering, as an emergent or "contentious" practice, is fertile ground for cultural analysis. Contentious practice (Holland, D., & Lave, J. (2001). "History in person: Enduring struggles, contentious practice, intimate identities." School of American Research Press) highlights how historically enduring…

Minghui Sun; Suresh Canagarajah – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2025
As a practical theory of language, translanguaging refers not only to speakers' use of multiple languages, but also to the deployment of other semiotic resources and artifacts in communication. To examine the use of semiotic resources and translingual negotiation strategies in STEM communication, this study explores the intersectionality of…

Wilson-Lopez, Amy; Sias, Christina; Smithee, Allen; Hasbún, Indhira María – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2018
The purpose of this multiple case study was to identify the forms of science capital that six groups of adolescents mobilized toward the realization of their self-selected engineering projects during after-school meetings. Research participants were high school students who self-identified as Hispanic, Latina, or Latino; who had received English…

Schellinger, Jennifer; Jaber, Lama Z.; Southerland, Sherry A. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Science reforms in national K-12 science education standards position engineering as a discipline that can be productively integrated into science curricula. This integrated approach presents science as foundational to engineering and engineering as a tool to contextualize and reinforce science ideas such that students come to develop…

Cunningham, Christine M.; Lachapelle, Cathy P.; Brennan, Robert T.; Kelly, Gregory J.; Tunis, Chris San Antonio; Gentry, Christine A. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2020
The Framework for K-12 Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards propose that students learn core ideas and practices related to engineering as well as science. To do so, students will need high-quality curricular materials designed to meet these goals. We report an efficacy study of an elementary engineering curriculum,…

Lilly, Sarah; McAlister, Anne M.; Fick, Sarah J.; Chiu, Jennifer L.; McElhaney, Kevin W. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Contemporary science education frameworks identify computational thinking as an essential science and engineering practice that supports scientific sense-making and engineering design. Despite national emphasis on teaching science, engineering, and computational thinking (NGSS Lead States, 2013), little research has investigated the ways that…

Haverly, Christa; Lyle, Angela; Spillane, James P.; Davis, Elizabeth A.; Peurach, Donald J. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), a reform effort "for states, by states," advances ambitious ideals for elementary science teaching, but the fate of these ideals will depend in part on the engagement of state science coordinators (SSCs). This article explores the responses of SSCs to NGSS in a purposeful sample of 18 US…

Women and underrepresented minority (URM) undergraduates declare and complete science, technology, engineering, and mathematics majors at different rates in comparison to majority groups. Explanations of these differences have long been deficit oriented, focusing on aptitude or similar characteristics, but more recent work focuses on institutional…
