General chemistry is a gateway course that students from several STEM-related majors take at the beginning of their college careers. Faced with high attrition rates of students in STEM fields and even higher rates for groups minoritized due to gender and ethnicity/race, this study explored how a general chemistry course influenced students'…

O'Connell, Marcia L.; Grochau-Wright, Zachariah I.; Fisher, Christopher T. – American Biology Teacher, 2022
The damaging outcomes of racist ideologies continue to influence all aspects of society. This in spite of the fact that at their core these ideologies rely on a fundamentally false assumption: that biologically there are different races among humans. The source of this fallacy is pseudoscience and historical prejudice, and yet even scientists and…

Melani A. Loney – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This study investigated the impact of training in self-regulated learning on community college, geoscience students' achievement, metacognition, time management, and science motivation scales. The study also investigated the impact of SRL training on these outcomes as a function of gender and ethnicity. During the Fall of 2022, 70 community…

Arthurs, Leilani A.; Kowalski, Chelsie M. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2022
Water sciences education is paramount to sustainable groundwater resource management, especially of drinking water, but misunderstandings about groundwater among non-experts remain widespread. Groundwater residence is an especially challenging concept to learn because it is not directly visible in typical circumstances. The present study uses a…

Kristy A. Robinson; So Yeon Lee – Journal of Experimental Education, 2025
Students vary in their perceptions of teachers' motivational supports, even within the same classroom, but it is unclear why this is the case. To enable the design of equitable environments and understand the theoretical nature of motivational climate, this study explored demographic differences in university students' perceptions of instruction…

Dutton, Nicole A. M. – American Journal of Distance Education, 2023
An increase in online science course offerings requires a closer evaluation of the online laboratory experience. While it has been established that students can successfully learn from online laboratory simulations, there is a lack of knowledge regarding factors that impact student success. Grounded in the constructivist learning theory, a unique…

Larry, Triaka; Wendt, Jillian L. – Learning Environments Research, 2022
We examined the predictive relationship between high school students' gender, ethnicity, science self-efficacy as measured by the Science Self-Efficacy Questionnaire composite score, teacher interpersonal behaviors (TIP) as measured by the Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (QTI) scale scores, and science grade point average in an urban Title I…

Tebeck, Claudette – Science Teacher, 2021
School closures in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic led to kids asking pertinent questions about why they were not in school, especially some students suffering financial hardship. Virtual classrooms became the mundane venues for students to piece together the pandemic puzzle and unpack unseen inequities. This article examines disparities that…

Donovan, Brian M.; Weindling, Monica; Salazar, Brae; Duncan, Alex; Stuhlsatz, Molly; Keck, Phillip – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
Recently, it has been argued that improving students' genomics literacy could prevent students from developing erroneous beliefs about social identity, such as the belief that racial groups differ cognitively and behaviorally because of their genes; a belief called genetic essentialism. To date, however, little research has explored if or how a…

Kristin Gagnier; Kelly Fisher; Steven Holochwost – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2021
Innovations in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are a cornerstone of the United States' economic prosperity, yet national and international assessments paint a poor picture of students' STEM competencies (reference 1; reference 2). These data have led to transformative approaches to improve STEM education including…

W.; Buck Bracey, Zoë E.; Deutch Noll, Jamie; Kowalski, Susan M.; Novak, Dawn; Lo, Abraham S.; Landel, Carolyn; Krumm, Andrew; Penuel, William R.; Van Horne, Katie; González-Howard, María; Suárez, Enrique – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2021
OpenSciEd is an ambitious effort to implement the vision of the "Framework for K-12 Science Education" and the "Next Generation Science Standards" broadly across the United States. The premise of OpenSciEd is that high quality instructional materials can play a critical role in transforming science teaching and learning at a…

Marasco, David; Dreyfuss, Bree Barnett – Physics Teacher, 2022
In 2018, in response to the proposed elimination of physics at a predominately Hispanic and socioeconomically disadvantaged (SED) high school, the Northern California/Nevada chapter of the AAPT investigated school demographics and their effect on physics offerings in public high schools in our region. As access was a key issue, the focus was on…

Alford-Keith, Leigh Ann – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Family engagement is crucial to academic achievement. However, family engagement practices in schools are inequitable and do not reach Families of Color. The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed both further inequities in education and an undoubtedly critical need to partner with all families for student success. This improvement science initiative was…

Katherine Diane Rainey – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Development and use of validated assessments in physics provide insight into student understanding of physics concepts and can be utilized to track student learning across time and instructional strategies. These tools can be used to gauge the efficacy of interventions designed to support students and persistence, and allow instructors to make…
