Over the past fifty years, women in the United States have made great strides in education and in entry into the workforce. However, despite these advances, women continue to be underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Women's representation is lower than men's at most levels of STEM. This level of…

Peer reviewedHamideh Talafian; Magdalene K. Moy; Monique A. Woodard; Aroutis N. Foster – Journal for STEM Education Research, 2019
To facilitate identity exploration and career interest among underrepresented racial and gender minorities, a week-long Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) summer camp was designed in alignment with Projective Reflection's (PR) theory of identity exploration and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). The camp included the…

Download full textKorur, Fikret; Yerdelen-Damar, Sevda; Saglam, Havva – Research in Learning Technology, 2021
In this study, the Integrated Scale of Technology Use in Physics (ISTUP) was developed to determine students' frequency of technology use, their perceptions about the effects of technology use on physics interest and achievement, and their preferences of technological tools and applications in learning physics. The scale was administered two…

Astronomy is considered by many to be a gateway science owing to its ability to inspire curiosity in everyone irrespective of age, culture, or general inclination towards science. Currently, where there is a global push to get more students engaged in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, astronomy provides an invaluable conduit to…

Jördens, Janina; Hammann, Marcus – Research in Science Education, 2021
We investigated potential drivers of interest in topic-context and topic-activity combinations, as well as interactions between the different elements of situational interest in evolutionary biology. High school students (n = 982, age 17 years) were asked to rate their interest in two sets of items consisting of topic-context and topic-activity…

Stockwell, Kayden M.; Bottini, Summer; Jaswal, Vikram K.; Gillis, Jennifer M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Autistic people, by definition, differ in social behavior from non-autistic individuals. One characteristic common to many autistic people is a special interest in a particular topic--something spoken about with such frequency and intensity that it may be stigmatized by non-autistic peers. We investigated college students' interest in interacting…

Fandakova, Yana; Gruber, Matthias J. – Developmental Science, 2021
Curiosity -- broadly defined as the desire to acquire new information -- enhances learning and memory in adults. In addition, interest in the information (i.e., when the information is processed) can also facilitate later memory. To date, it is not known how states of pre-information curiosity and post-information interest enhance memory in…

Steven L. Gill; Brett S. Kawada – Advances in Accounting Education: Teaching and Curriculum Innovations, 2021
This study addresses the issue of decreasing accounting student interest in the specialized taxation discipline. Using survey responses from accounting students around the United States, the authors find that one of the most important influences on the choice of a taxation specialization over other accounting fields is the fascination and interest…

Starr, Joshua P. – Phi Delta Kappan, 2023
Despite significant societal changes, the high school experience hasn't changed much in recent decades. Joshua P. Starr reflects on his own high school experiences and that of his son and considers how schools might change their focus away from requiring students to learn specific facts and toward having them develop skills as they engage in rich…

Scherer, Demian; Verkühlen, Annika; Dutke, Stephan – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Research suggests that explanatory pictures support learning, whereas pictures that distract processing resources from the main ideas of a text may impair learning and are considered as seductive illustrations. However, non-explanatory pictures that are related to the text and that do not tempt readers to focus illustrations more than the text's…

Johnson, Donald M.; Pate, Michael L.; Estepp, Christopher M.; Wardlow, George W. – Journal of Research in Technical Careers, 2023
A replication study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of an instructional treatment based on self-efficacy theory when used with novice Arduino microcontroller users. Students (n = 32) in an introductory university agricultural systems technology course participated in a lesson on Arduino microcontrollers, circuit breadboarding, and…

Kao, Chia-Pin; Mou, Tsai-Yun – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
The study investigated children's attitudes toward and impressions of a narrated stop-motion animation called "slowmation" and the relationship between the variables when learning with slowmation. An analogue scale and an ordinal scale were used respectively to collect children's learning attitude and learning impression data. A total of…

Pope, Harrison G., Jr.; Schnabel, Jiana; Hudson, James I. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2023
In a bibliometric analysis, we used the PubMed search engine to count the number of publications identified by the search term "dissociative amnesia" for the years 2011--2020. We then counted publications from the same decade for five representative comparison disorders: "panic disorder," "anorexia nervosa,"…

Savadova, Sabina – Global Studies of Childhood, 2023
This article proposes the living journals method for remotely studying participants, elevating participant agency in the data generation process and minimising or completely removing the need for a researcher to be physically present in the field. Employing this method, the paper describes how the method was used to explore 5-year-old children's…
