Direct linkBowman, 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…

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…

Wieselmann, Jeanna R.; Dare, Emily A.; Ring-Whalen, Elizabeth A.; Roehrig, Gillian H. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2020
Gender equity issues remain a challenge in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, where women are highly underrepresented. As integrated STEM instruction becomes increasingly popular in elementary and middle school classrooms, it is important to consider whether the small group activities that are commonplace in STEM…

Beier, Margaret E.; Kim, Michelle H.; Saterbak, Ann; Leautaud, Veronica; Bishnoi, Sandra; Gilberto, Jaqueline M. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2019
Can engaging college students in client-centered projects in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) coursework increase interest in STEM professions? The current study explored the effectiveness of project-based learning (PjBL) courses on student attitudes, major choice, and career aspirations in STEM. Framed in expectancy-value…

Tan, Edna; Calabrese Barton, Angela; Kang, Hosun; O'Neill, Tara – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2013
The underrepresentation of non-White students and girls in STEM fields is an ongoing problem that is well documented. In K-12 science education, girls, and especially non-White girls, often do not identify with science regardless of test scores. In this study, we examine the narrated and embodied identities-in-practice of non-White, middle school…
