Jayaratne, Toby Epstein; Thomas, Nancy G.; Trautmann, Marcella
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v40 n4 p393-414 Apr 2003
Evaluates a two-week residential program aimed at enhancing the science interest and persistence of high-achieving 8th grade girls. Examines science self-concept and interest, persistence, and aspirations in science, science activities, science course-taking in high school, and plans for a science college major. Discusses differences between non-minority girls and minority girls, and global features of the program interacted over time with girls' experience. (Author/KHR)
