Chapman, Angela; Rodriguez, Felicia D.; Pena, Carmen; Hinojosa, Erica; Morales, Lizbeth; Del Bosque, Valeria; Tijerina, Yakeline; Tarawneh, Constantine – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2020
Factors that influence the underrepresentation of females in STEM careers begin early in childhood when gender biases and stereotypes emerge. Stereotypes have a psychosocial effect on females that can lead to low self-efficacy and less interest in learning and pursuing STEM careers. This study investigated the effect of a STEM summer camp on K-12…

Frederick, Angela; Grineski, Sara E.; Collins, Timothy W.; Daniels, Heather A.; Morales, Danielle X. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
This study reports findings from 19 interviews with Hispanic/Latinx students participating in a university-wide, multiyear program designed to retain students from underrepresented backgrounds in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) at a Hispanic-serving institution. We focus on the impact that having multiple opportunities to…

Kitchen, Joseph A.; Sadler, Philip; Sonnert, Gerhard – Journal of College Student Development, 2018
The impact of college STEM [science, technology, engineering, and mathematics] summer bridge programs is not well understood. This nationwide study pooled data from 27 colleges and universities involved in the NSF's [National Science Foundation's] STEM Talent Expansion Program to model changes in college career aspirations for 2 groups: 383 STEM…

Kitchen, Joseph A.; Sonnert, Gerhard; Sadler, Philip M. – Science Education, 2018
Insufficient student interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers has been identified as a pressing issue by educators and education policy makers. This retrospective cohort study examined one promising approach to reach and inspire students early on: college- and university- run high school STEM summer programs.…

Liu, Allison S.; Schunn, Christian D. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
Background: Large achievement and motivation gaps exist in science between students from higher and lower socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds. Middle and high school are an important time to address these disparities, as science motivation typically declines for all students at this time, leading to particularly low science interest and…

Beltran, Eduardo – ProQuest LLC, 2018
The success of Latino college students is dually critical to the social well-being of the Latino community and the sustainability of the national economy. To garner the intellectual and economic potential of this population, it is critical to address their retention and completion rates, particularly within science, technology, engineering, and…

Frantz, Kyle J.; Demetrikopoulos, Melissa K.; Britner, Shari L.; Carruth, Laura L.; Williams, Brian A.; Pecore, John L.; DeHaan, Robert L.; Goode, Christopher T. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2017
Undergraduate research experiences confer benefits on students bound for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers, but the low number of research professionals available to serve as mentors often limits access to research. Within the context of our summer research program (BRAIN), we tested the hypothesis that a team-based…

Ghee, Medeva; Keels, Micere; Collins, Deborah; Neal-Spence, Cynthia; Baker, Earnestine – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2016
Although the importance of undergraduate research experiences in preparing students for graduate study and research careers is well documented, specific examination of program components is needed to assess the impact of these programs on underrepresented (UR) students. The Leadership Alliance, a consortium of leading PhD-granting and…
