Campbell-Montalvo, Rebecca; Kersaint, Gladis; Smith, Chrystal A. S.; Puccia, Ellen; Skvoretz, John; Wao, Hesborn; Martin, Julie P.; MacDonald, George; Lee, Reginald – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Women and underrepresented minority (URM) undergraduates declare and complete science, technology, engineering, and mathematics majors at different rates in comparison to majority groups. Explanations of these differences have long been deficit oriented, focusing on aptitude or similar characteristics, but more recent work focuses on institutional…

Visintainer, Tammie – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2020
The underrepresentation of high school students of color in advanced science courses and the need to increase racial diversity in science fields is well documented. The persistence of racial disparities in science suggests that factors influencing participation include and extend beyond those currently being explored. This study explores how high…

Hazari, Zahra; Sonnert, Gerhard; Sadler, Philip M.; Shanahan, Marie-Claire – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2010
This study explores how students' physics identities are shaped by their experiences in high school physics classes and by their career outcome expectations. The theoretical framework focuses on physics identity and includes the dimensions of student performance, competence, recognition by others, and interest. Drawing data from the Persistence…
