Diez, Jose-Luis; Ramos, Amparo; Candela, Carlos – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2023
Gender stereotypes are still present in the career choice. Students make decisions about future profession based on a stereotyped perception of studies. The under-representation of women in the field of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, can be explained by this gender gap in the career choice. This article explores the influence of…

Sevilla, María Paola; Snodgrass Rangel, Virginia – Journal of Career Development, 2023
Existing inequalities in STEM-related vocational-technical education (VTE) programs are more prevalent than within 4-year programs. Situated in Chile, this study tests whether Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) adequately explains career development among students enrolled in STEM-VTE programs. In doing so, it also examines how external factors…

Simpson, Amber; Knox, Peter N.; Yang, Jing – Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Background: Research points to family talk and interactions involving STEM concepts as one of the most influential informal learning experiences that shape an individual's STEM identity development and encourage their pursuit of a STEM career. However, a recent literature review uncovers limited research regarding the development of engineering…

Silva Fernández, Marta A.; Berríos, Waleska; Sanzana, Paulina; Sigerson, Andrew L. – International Journal of Science Education, 2023
The ways in which children and adolescents become interested in science have been well studied. However, little is known from a lifespan perspective about how this process continues from childhood through adulthood. This cross-national study builds an understanding of doctoral students in the sciences in the Chile and the United States and how…

Allen Kuyenga, Madison C.; Lachney, Michael; Green, Briana – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2023
In the United States, the history of African American education has long referenced the Booker T. Washington-W.E.B. DuBois debate that put vocational or technical education and liberal education in opposition to each other in the goals for racial uplift. Today there is good reason to be skeptical of centering vocational training in African…
