Subsequent Academic and Career Development of Participants in Selected National Science Foundation Student Science Training (Pre-College) Program Projects.
Welling, Ronald Garrison
This was a follow-up study of participants in National Science Foundation Student Science Training Program (SSTP) projects designed for students from high schools which provided limited opportunities for training in the sciences or mathematics. Data were collected by means of questionnaires from the participants, high schools attended subsequently, and the peers of the participants. The analysis of data indicated that the SSTP participants were generally satisfied with the academic programs, the staffs, and the facilities. The experience influenced favorably the students' high school involvement in classroom activities in science and mathematics. As undergraduates, the participants earned more credits and gained higher grade point averages in science and mathematics than their high school peers. More of the participants planned to pursue an undergraduate degree in science or mathematics than did their peers. (Author/PS)
