Collins, Jennifer Shalini; Olesik, Susan V. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
There is a severe shortage of Black scientists in the United States. Amid the recent national movement to dismantle systemic racism and racial injustices, many scientists publicly highlighted the prevalence of racist learning environments in STEM, contributing to the underrepresentation of Black students in STEM fields. Acknowledging this…

Ralph, Vanessa R.; Lewis, Scott E. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2020
The methodological limitations education researchers face in the evaluation of reformed instruction have led to debates as to the evidence advancing evidence-based practices. To conduct more effective research, methodological pluralism in the evaluation of educational reforms can be used to complement the strengths and limitations of a corpus of…

Djerdjian, Nancy Traiser; Magner, Shawn; Jensen, Murray; Hyson, Rose; Lawford, Heather; Hull, Kerry – HAPS Educator, 2020
One strategy to transform the high attrition rates among community college (CC) students is for CC instructors to utilize the teaching practices shown to most likely lead to student success. CC students and faculty are underrepresented in biology education research (BER), with only 3% of BER articles addressing CC-specific issues (Schinske et al.…
