Allison Master – Child Development Perspectives, 2021
Children's memberships in social groups have profound effects on their motivation. Stereotypes about social groups shape children's beliefs about what is expected for their group members. These beliefs can influence children's developing beliefs about themselves (self-perceptions). In this article, I review research on how gender stereotypes…

Kafai, Yasmin B.; Xin, Yue; Fields, Deborah; Tofel-Grehl, Colby – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
The pandemic outbreak of COVID-19 has highlighted an urgent need for infectious disease education for K-12 students. To gather a better understanding of what educational interventions have been conducted and to what effect, we performed a scoping review. We identified and examined 23 empirical researcher- and teacher-designed studies conducted in…

Bianchi, Lynne – Primary Science, 2020
In this article, the author describes the impact of the Great Science Share for Schools (GSSfS). This annual campaign has already engaged over 100,000 pupils since its start in 2016. With 2019 seeing a record-breaking 63,614 pupils registered across 483 events in 11 countries, the forecast for 2020 is looking positive. Set up by the Science &…

Cohen, Susie M.; Hazari, Zahra; Mahadeo, Jonathan; Sonnert, Gerhard; Sadler, Philip M. – Science Education, 2021
It is well known that women are underrepresented in science. technology engineering and mathematics (STEM) and that their interest declines more steeply over the schooling years. As such, this study uses a STEM identity theoretical framework to examine the effects of early STEM experiences, focusing particularly on experiences that may be more…

Sullivan, Amanda; Bers, Marina Umaschi – Journal of Information Technology Education: Research, 2019
Aim/Purpose: Educational robotics competitions are a popular way to increase students' interest in science and engineering during their K-12 years. However, female students are typically underrepresented in these competitions. The goal of this study is to determine differences in the experiences of male and female robotics competition students in…

While the study of science subjects at school is essential for the development of science and technology in society, it is a recognized fact that a large number of students show reluctance to study science and mathematics. Thus, it is of great significance to deliberate on ways to increase their interest in science subjects and enhance…

Gamse, Beth C.; Martinez, Alina; Bozzi, Laurie – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2017
Encouraging student interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) is an urgent priority in the USA and abroad. How most effectively to generate and sustain student interest in and preparation for STEM education and careers remains a vexing question, as the content areas, target ages, instructional approaches, and specific purposes…

Jean Baptiste, Davis; Archer, Jennifer; Palmer, David – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2019
Background: The four-phase model of interest development is a widely accepted theoretical perspective on the development of long-term interest. Our future teachers will be faced with the task of developing their students' long-term interest in science. Yet it is not known whether they have workable ideas for how to achieve this. Purpose: The…
