Itauma, Itauma – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Underrepresentation of both females and minority racial groups in college science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors contribute to an unbalanced STEM workforce. This was a quantitative descriptive cross-sectional survey research study utilizing secondary data analysis of the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 public use…

Buchanan, Alaina – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) have become more commonly incorporated in laboratory courses in undergraduate education. Because CUREs incorporate research within the context of a course, the benefits of mentored research (self-efficacy, science identity, persistence, and more) are extended to each student enrolled. CUREs…

Alonzo Brandon Alexander – ProQuest LLC, 2021
A wide range of efforts has been explored to fill the United States' need for professionals in the field of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Understanding the factors that influence student persistence in out-of-school educational spaces such as outreach programs is important to meeting this demand. Outreach programs are…

Agu, Philomena Ngozi – ProQuest LLC, 2018
Background: Research has shown that certification and an undergraduate major in a teaching subject are consistent positive-significant predictors of teacher effectiveness and the lack of at least a minor in an assigned subject as a consistent and negative indicator of student success. Texas secondary science teachers have either subject-specific…

Michelle M. Spence – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This mixed methods study explored the influence that the use of implementation frameworks and the deployment of implementation drivers may have on collective efficacy in early learning and elementary settings. It was hypothesized that such a relationship could foster high fidelity implementation of high leverage practices that would support the…

Mills, Daphne Christine – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Science and engineering careers have grown at an exponential rate during the past half century and are expected to constitute one-third of all new jobs by 2024 (National Science Board [NSB], 2018). Yet, African Americans are largely underrepresented in science and engineering careers, comprising less than 5% of the science and engineering labor…

McNamara, Mark W. – ProQuest LLC, 2012
The study tested the hypothesis that self-efficacy, stress, and acculturation are useful predictors of academic achievement in first year university science, independent of high school GPA and SAT scores, in a sample of Latino students at a South Texas Hispanic serving institution of higher education. The correlational study employed a mixed…

Reed, Aaron – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Technology is a critical component of the American economy. Analysts have claimed it is imperative that the United States maintain its status as a worldwide leader in technology or its economy, standard of living, and security are in jeopardy. Yet every year, more technology jobs are created than can be filled by qualified college graduates. A…

Naidoo, Kara – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Elementary teachers are criticized for failing to incorporate meaningful science instruction in their classrooms or avoiding science instruction altogether. The lack of adequate science instruction in elementary schools is partially attributed to teacher candidates' anxiety, poor content and pedagogical preparation, and low science teaching…

Johnson, Jennifer A. – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Open inquiry offers students the opportunity to gain 21st century skills and expose them to science practices advocated by Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). While this raises the bar from lower-level inquiry classes, students initially struggle with open inquiry, because they do not know what to expect as they shift from a teacher-directed…

Patricia Ann Arnold – ProQuest LLC, 2021
The impact of the "Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)" on K-12 science education has gained significant momentum over the last several years. Evidence of the "NGSS" can be seen in revised state science content standards and amended teacher preparation standards. Due to this growing impetus, a holistic redesign of teacher…
