Teasdale, Rachel; Ryker, Katherine; Viskupic, Karen; Czajka, C. Doug; Manduca, Cathryn – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
Background: The Classroom Observation Project employs direct observations of geoscience teaching across the USA using the Reformed Teaching Observation Protocol (RTOP) to quantify the use of reformed teaching practices. We report on 345 RTOP observations used to evaluate the extent of teaching reform when curricular materials developed as part of…

Cotner, Sehoya; Jeno, Lucas M.; Walker, J. D.; Jørgensen, Christian; Vandvik, Vigdis – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
Background: Understanding student motivational factors such as test anxiety and science confidence is important for increasing retention in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), especially for underrepresented students, such as women. We investigated motivational metrics in over 400 introductory biology students in Norway, a country…

McConnell, Melody; Montplaisir, Lisa; Offerdahl, Erika G. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
A considerable body of evidence demonstrates that active, student-centered instructional practices are more effective than lecture-based, transmissionist approaches in improving undergraduate STEM learning. Despite this evidence and extensive reform initiatives, the majority of STEM instructors continue to teach didactically. Awareness of teaching…

Atit, Kinnari; Power, Jason R.; Veurink, Norma; Uttal, David H.; Sorby, Sheryl; Panther, Grace; Msall, Camille; Fiorella, Logan; Carr, Martha – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
Background: Spatial skills and mathematical ability have been repeatedly identified as critical for achievement in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Previous studies have identified correlations between spatial skills and mathematical achievement; however, questions remain regarding improvements in non-spatial areas…

Wahono, Bevo; Lin, Pei-Ling; Chang, Chun-Yen – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
This study used a systematic review and meta-analysis as a method to investigate whether STEM enactment in Asia effectively enhances students' learning outcomes. Verifiable examples of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, effectively being applied in Asia, are presented in this study. The study involved 4768 students…

Liu, Allison S.; Schunn, Christian D. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
Background: Large achievement and motivation gaps exist in science between students from higher and lower socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds. Middle and high school are an important time to address these disparities, as science motivation typically declines for all students at this time, leading to particularly low science interest and…

Godec, Spela; Patel, Uma; Archer, Louise; Dawson, Emily – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
Background: Identity provides a useful conceptual lens for understanding educational inequalities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). In this paper, we examine how paying attention to physical and digital 'materiality' enriches our understanding of identity work, by going beyond the spoken, written and embodied dimensions…

Dancy, Melissa; Rainey, Katherine; Stearns, Elizabeth; Mickelson, Roslyn; Moller, Stephanie – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
It is well-documented that experiences in STEM courses for women and students of color are different from the experiences of White men. As part of a larger interview study, 183 college seniors from diverse gender and race backgrounds were asked their thoughts on whether the experience of being a STEM major was different for people of different…

Gómez, Ricardo L.; Suárez, Ana María – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
Background: Inquiry-based teaching (IBT) and improving school climate are the two most commonly used strategies for fostering learning and critical thinking skills in students. IBT has positioned itself as one of the most recommended "active" methodologies for developing intellectual autonomy and complex thought processes, whereas school…

Atkins, Kaitlyn; Dougan, Bryan M.; Dromgold-Sermen, Michelle S.; Potter, Hannah; Sathy, Viji; Panter, A. T. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
Background: Mentorship has been well-established in the literature as fostering scientific identity and career pathways for underrepresented minority students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Mentorship is prioritized by programs that aim to increase diversity and support future leadership in STEM fields, but…

Davis, James P.; Du, Juan; Tang, Jia-Hui; Qiao, Lu; Liu, Yan-Qiu; Chiang, Feng-Kuang – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
Background: Understanding cultural diversity in STEM education is important for inclusivity and teaching STEM literacy for all. We explore diversity at a micro-cultural classroom level involving students' emotional experiences and interactional practices as they engage with learning, which has received limited attention in naturalistic studies of…

Dong, Yan; Wang, Jing; Yang, Yunying; Kurup, Premnadh M. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
Background: China has great student participation in STEM education. Chinese society has a progressive and positive attitude towards STEM as it is considered to provide more opportunities in life. Teachers play a vital role in the success of any STEM program in K-12 schools. However, teachers are facing instructional challenges because of the…

Paul, Kelli M.; Maltese, Adam V.; Svetina Valdivia, Dubravka – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
Background: Despite the increasing number of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) jobs available, concern continues to grow over the low number of students who choose to study and enter STEM fields. Research suggests that children begin to identify their interests and career aspirations related to STEM as early as elementary…

Ng, Oi-Lam; Shi, Lian; Ting, Fridolin – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
Background: This paper compares the effects of two classroom-based technology-enhanced teaching interventions, conducted in two schools in sixth (age 11-12) grade. In one school, the intervention involves the use of a class set of 3D Printing Pens, and in another school the use of dynamic geometry environments, for inquiry-based learning of the…

Lee, Meggan J.; Collins, Jasmine D.; Harwood, Stacy Anne; Mendenhall, Ruby; Huntt, Margaret Browne – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
Background: Race and gender disparities remain a challenge in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. We introduce campus racial climate as a framework for conceptualizing the role of racial microaggressions (RMAs) as a contributing factor to the lack of representation of domestic students of color in STEM programs on…
