Johansson, Anders; Nyström, Anne-Sofie; Gonsalves, Allison J.; Danielsson, Anna T. – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2023
Higher education physics has long been a field with a disproportionately skewed representation in terms of gender, class, and ethnicity. Responding to this challenge, this study explores the trajectories of "unexpected" (i.e., demographically under-represented) students into higher education physics. Based on timeline-guided life-history…

However, the choices made at early branching points can limit pupils' subsequent options, potentially contributing to…

McClure, John; Meyer, Luanna H.; Garisch, Jessica; Fischer, Ronald; Weir, Kirsty F.; Walkey, Frank H. – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 2011
Research has found a relation between motivation and attributions for success and failure. However, few studies have clarified the relationship of attributions to school achievement and possible cultural differences in this relationship. To investigate this issue, 5333 secondary students (European, Asian, Maori, Pacific) rated four common…
