Michelle S. Johnson; Kathy C. Haynie; Lalita A. Shevde; J. Michael Wyss – Journal of STEM Outreach, 2025
A lack of academic and social readiness limits the successful transition to high school and college for many students from populations historically underrepresented in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) and historically underrepresented groups in biomedical careers (HUG). Also, many families from underrepresented groups share little…

Gear Up 4 STEM: Final Impact Report
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Laura Holian; Catharine Warner-Griffin; Benjamin P. Gold – Grantee Submission, 2024
The purpose of this study was to understand if a STEM camp (Gear Up 4 STEM) offered during school breaks could improve science outcomes and engagement of elementary school students. This study followed two cohorts of students in Knox County Schools (grades 3, 4, and 5) over one school year and assessed their performance on the state administered…

Daniela Torres; Surya Pulukuri; Binyomin Abrams – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
OrgoPrep, a summer preparatory program integrating multiple active-learning elements (i.e., interactive videos with problem-solving and feedback, synchronous peer-led instruction, and collaborative work), was previously shown to improve academic outcomes in organic chemistry for all students. The present study examined how OrgoPrep differentially…

"Popping It" as Family in Mosquitoes & Me: Affective Accumulation and Anzaldúan Aesthetic Consciousness in "Ciencia Zurda"
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bruna, Katherine Richardson; Farley, Jennifer; Bartholomay, Lyric – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2023
This article uses key concepts of Anzaldúan philosophy to describe the Mosquitoes & Me summer camp as "ciencia zurda" or "left-handed science." It details a day-in-the-life portrait of Elena, a first-generation Latina middle schooler, as she experiences the opportunities that Mosquitoes & Me provided for self-other…

Megan D. Radyk; Lillian B. Spatz; Mahliyah L. Adkins-Threats; Kitra Cates; Celine L. St Pierre – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
The development of science writing and presentation skills is necessary for a successful science career. Too often these skills are not included in pre- or postsecondary science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, leading to a disconnect between high schoolers' expectations for college preparedness and the skills needed to…

Cognitive Style, Motivation and Learning in Inquiry-Based Early-Years Science Activities
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kallery, Maria; Sofianidis, A.; Pationioti, P.; Tsialma, K.; Katsiana, X. – International Journal of Early Years Education, 2022
Cognitive style differences, also known as 'empathizing' and 'systemizing' have been argued as one reason that may explain differences in children's motivation to learn science. Researchers claim that people with a 'systemizing' cognitive style are likelier to engage in science than those with an 'empathizing' cognitive style. As such, they…
