Russo-Tait, Tatiane – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Scholars across disciplines and throughout PK-20 education have argued that color-blind ideology works to perpetuate racial inequities in education via policies, research, curriculum, instruction, and student-teacher interactions. This study explores an underexamined issue in relation to color-blind ideology in STEM education. Specifically, it…

Mulvey, Kelly Lynn; Mathews, Channing; Knox, Jerica; Joy, Angelina; Cerda-Smith, Jacqueline – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Women and ethnic minoritized individuals are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) domains in postsecondary education and in the workforce. The aim of the current study was to examine whether adolescents' perceptions of inclusivity, belonging, and discrimination in high school STEM classes are related to…

Hughes, Roxanne; Schellinger, Jennifer; Roberts, Kari – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
Computing fields are foundational to most STEM disciplines and the only STEM discipline to show a consistent decline in women's representation since 1990, making it an important field for STEM educators to study. The explanation for the underrepresentation of women and girls in computing is twofold: a sense that they do not fit within the…

Bowman, Nicholas A.; Logel, Christine; LaCosse, Jennifer; Jarratt, Lindsay; Canning, Elizabeth A.; Emerson, Katherine T. U.; Murphy, Mary C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Substantial gender equity gaps in postsecondary degree completion persist within many science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines, and these disparities have not narrowed during the 21st century. Various explanations of this phenomenon have been offered; one possibility that has received limited attention is that the…

Harper, Akira; Kayumova, Shakhnoza – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
Black and Brown girls are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. Although studies have examined the reasons for this by exploring Black and Brown girls' experiences based on culture, gender, and race, there is a need for specifically understanding how language contributes to racialized experiences in science…

Tolbert, Sara; Gray, Salina; Rivera, Marelis; Schindel, Alexa – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Drawing from intersectional feminist scholarship, we communicate how Salina and Marelis, both women of color, teach science for social justice in the face of significant institutional challenges. Theorizing from their experiences and practices, we articulate a feminist praxis for school science, which includes (1) building community and…

Rebecca S. Friesen; Adriana D. Cimetta – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
Attracting and retaining students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics majors, particularly those who are underrepresented, is a national concern. While undergraduate research experiences have been shown to increase retention and engagement, inequities in access exacerbate disparities. Understanding what hinders or facilitates the…

Steegh, Anneke; Höffler, Tim; Höft, Lars; Parchmann, Ilka – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
Girls are underrepresented in mathematical and science Olympiads, global informal learning activities which often serve as stepping stones for admission to top universities and future STEM careers. The present article aims to investigate the role of implicit gender-science stereotypes on representation and achievement among participants of the…

Avraamidou, Lucy – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Framed within intersectionality, this multiple case study explores women's participation in physics through the construct of physics identity and with a focus on recognition. The study is drawn upon an empirical life-history exploration of three women: a native to Northwestern Europe, late-career white woman and two immigrant women to Northwestern…

Campbell-Montalvo, Rebecca; Kersaint, Gladis; Smith, Chrystal A. S.; Puccia, Ellen; Skvoretz, John; Wao, Hesborn; Martin, Julie P.; MacDonald, George; Lee, Reginald – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
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…
