Direct linkSmith, Thomas J.; Hong, Zuway-R; Hsu, Wen-Yi; Lu, Ying-Yan – Science Education, 2022
This study examined how high school students' attitudes toward advanced physics were predicted by their sense of school belonging, and how gender moderated this relationship. The Trends in International Math and Science (TIMSS) 2015 Advanced data, consisting of responses from 12th grade students enrolled in advanced physics courses among nine…

You, Hye Sun; Park, Sunyoung; Delgado, Cesar – Science Education, 2021
The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics of US schools associated with two measures of scientific literacy (content knowledge and "procedural and epistemic" knowledge) using the 2015 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) data. Because outcomes are nested within students, and students within schools, a…

Hilts, Alexis; Part, Rachel; Bernacki, Matthew L. – Science Education, 2018
Students' perceptions of competence and relatedness are known to influence learning processes and achievement, and may have particular import for underrepresented science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) learners. Sources of social support that contribute to undergraduate life science learners' perceived competence and relatedness…

Leibham, Mary Beth; Alexander, Joyce M.; Johnson, Kathy E. – Science Education, 2013
Although young children display various types of interests, little is known regarding the potential impact of these interests on subsequent learning and development. Of particular importance is the question of whether or not children's early interests are instrumental in their later academic achievement. The current study fills this gap in the…

Andersen, Lori; Ward, Thomas J. – Science Education, 2014
Group differences in the effects of the expectancies and values that high-ability students have for science and mathematics on plans to persist in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) were investigated. A nationally representative sample of ninth-grade students, the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS: 2009; n =…

Sadler, Philip M.; Sonnert, Gerhard; Hazari, Zahra; Tai, Robert – Science Education, 2012
This retrospective cohort study characterizes how interest in science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) careers changes during high school for more than 6,000 students in a representative national sample of 34 two- and four-year colleges taking mandatory college English courses. Overall, large gender differences in career plans were…

Hazari, Zahra; Tai, Robert H.; Sadler, Philip M. – Science Education, 2007
The attrition of females studying physics after high school is a growing concern to the science education community. Most undergraduate science programs require introductory physics coursework. Thus, success in introductory physics is usually necessary for students to progress to higher levels of science study. Success also influences attitudes;…
