Background: Studying science identity has been useful for understanding students' continuation in science-related education and career paths. Yet knowledge and theory related to science identity among students on the path to becoming a professional science researcher, such as students engaged in research at the undergraduate, postbaccalaureate,…

Sung, Jihyun; Lee, Ji Young; Chun, Hui Young – International Journal of STEM Education, 2023
Background: Despite the recent emphasis on technology and engineering in early childhood education, the importance of teaching relevant concepts in early education has been underappreciated in South Korea. This study examined the feasibility and efficacy of a science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) program integrated into…

Ambrosino, Christine M.; Rivera, Malia Ana J. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2022
Background: Students from historically excluded groups face many pedagogical, societal, and institutional barriers that lead to disproportionately lower levels of entering and higher levels of attrition from Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) undergraduate programs. Student experiences within a STEM learning environment play a large…

Betancur, Laura; Votruba-Drzal, Elizabeth; Schunn, Christian – International Journal of STEM Education, 2018
Background: In contrast to the extensive research on socioeconomic gaps in reading and math achievement, little attention has been given to socioeconomic disparities in science skills, particularly during the early years of schooling. This emphasis on later years may be problematic because large socioeconomic disparities emerge in the early years,…

El-Hamamsy, Laila; Bruno, Barbara; Audrin, Catherine; Chevalier, Morgane; Avry, Sunny; Zufferey, Jessica Dehler; Mondada, Francesco – International Journal of STEM Education, 2023
Background: Early exposure to Computer Science (CS) and Computational Thinking (CT) for all is critical to broaden participation and promote equity in the field. But how does the introduction of CS and CT into primary school curricula impact learning, perception, and gaps between groups of students? Methodology: We investigate a CS-curricular…

Galanti, Terrie M.; Holincheck, Nancy – International Journal of STEM Education, 2022
As K-12 STEM education moves toward the integrated application of mathematics and science concepts in collaborative and complex real-world problem solving, there is a commensurate need to redefine what it means to be a STEM teacher in the early grades. Elementary teachers need more than professional development with innovative content and…

Whitcomb; Sara E. Brownell; Chantal Levesque-Bristol; Marco Molinaro; Chandralekha Singh; Timothy A. McKay; Rebecca L. Matz – International Journal of STEM Education, 2024
Background: Large introductory lecture courses are frequently post-secondary students' first formal interaction with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Grade outcomes in these courses are often disparate across student populations, which, in turn, has implications for student retention. This study positions such…

Vincent-Ruz, Paulette; Schunn, Christian D. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2018
Background: A major concern in science education involves the under-representation of many groups in science and technology fields, especially by gender (Brotman and Moore, J Res Sci Teach 45:971-1002, 2008; Clark Blickenstaff, Gend Educ 17:369-386, 2006), stemming from an intersection of systemic obstacles (Cantú, Equity Excell Educ 45:472-487,…

Rosenzweig, Emily Q.; Chen, Xiao-Yin – International Journal of STEM Education, 2023
Background: Decades of research have examined what motivates students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, but STEM careers are a broad category encompassing hundreds of distinct vocations. The present study examined high school students' relative preferences for pursuing some types of STEM careers…

Karahan, Engin; Kara, Ahmet; Akçay, Ahmet Oguz – International Journal of STEM Education, 2021
Background: Although the importance of directing students to career options in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields at early ages has been emphasized in the literature, it has not been clearly stated just who will play a role in this process and what kind of consultancy process will be followed. It is of great importance…

Bay, Jacquie L.; Vickers, Mark H.; Mora, Helen A.; Sloboda, Deborah M.; Morton, Susan M. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2017
Background: Scientific literacy development is widely emphasized as the overarching goal of science education. It encompasses development of understanding of the nature of science as well as knowledge, attitudes, and values that contribute to empowering adolescents to engage with and make evidence-based decisions about socioscientific issues.…
