Reinholz, Daniel L.; Apkarian, Naneh – International Journal of STEM Education, 2018
Background: This paper adapts the four-frame model of organizational change to the context of higher education. We offer the model as a tool for researchers and change agents who wish to study and enact systemic change within STEM departments. We provide the four frames in contrast to overly simplistic models of change that have been shown to be…

Williams, Dilafruz R.; Brule, Heather; Kelley, Sybil S.; Skinner, Ellen A. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2018
Background: Science in the Learning Gardens (henceforth, SciLG) program was designed to address two well-documented, inter-related educational problems: under-representation in science of students from racial and ethnic minority groups and inadequacies of curriculum and pedagogy to address their cultural and motivational needs. Funded by the…

Rodríguez Amaya, Laura; Betancourt, Tania; Collins, Kristina Henry; Hinojosa, Orlando; Corona, Carlos – International Journal of STEM Education, 2018
Background: Undergraduate research experiences (UREs) have been proposed as means to increase the retention and engagement of minority--and more specifically Hispanic--college students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors. This study explores the impact of student characteristics such as gender, classification,…

Cooper, Katelyn M.; Downing, Virginia R.; Brownell, Sara E. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2018
Background: Over the past decade, the prevalence of anxiety has increased among college-aged students and college counseling centers have become increasingly concerned about the negative impact of anxiety on students. While college in general can be stressful, college science classrooms have the potential to be especially anxiety-inducing because…

Appianing, Joseph; Van Eck, Richard N. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2018
Background: Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) jobs are expected to make up a significant portion of the U.S. workforce. Unfortunately, the trend in retaining students in STEM majors has been going down. If higher education institutions are going to retain more students in STEM majors, it will be important to understand who leaves…

Carlisle, Deborah L.; Weaver, Gabriela C. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2018
Background: With the remarkable attention being paid to STEM education nationally, with the growing engagement of universities and colleges in STEM education reform, and with the rise of STEM education centers, SECs, assisting universities as they strive to achieve these reforms, this research provides insight into the roles of six SECs. Through a…

Lehtamo, Sanna; Juuti, Kalle; Inkinen, Janna; Lavonen, Jari – International Journal of STEM Education, 2018
Background: There is a lack of students enrolling in upper secondary school physics courses. In addition, many students discontinue the physics track, causing a lack of applicants for university-level science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programmes. The aim of this research was to determine if it is possible to find a connection…

Knaub, Alexis V.; Henderson, Charles; Fisher, Kathleen Quardokus – International Journal of STEM Education, 2018
Background: Social network analysis (SNA) literature suggests that leaders should be well connected and can be identified through network measurements. Other literature suggests that identifying leaders ideally involves multiple methods. However, it is unclear using SNA alone is sufficient for identifying leaders for higher education change…

Wilkins, Jesse L. M.; Norton, Anderson – International Journal of STEM Education, 2018
Background: Fractions continue to pose a critical challenge for students and their teachers alike. Mathematics education research indicates that the challenge with fractions may stem from the limitations of part-whole concepts of fractions, which is the central focus of fractions curriculum and instruction in the USA. Students' development of more…

Erdas Kartal, Eda; Cobern, William W.; Dogan, Nihal; Irez, Serhat; Cakmakci, Gultekin; Yalaki, Yalcin – International Journal of STEM Education, 2018
Background: This study describes how teachers' nature of science (NOS) views changed throughout an innovative Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program that provided sustained support throughout the process in a collaborative and reflective environment and activities that are consistent with the current curriculum and NOS tenets integrated…

Hayward, Charles N.; Laursen, Sandra L. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2018
Background: Studies continually show benefits of active learning in college classrooms, yet it is difficult to get faculty to adopt these methods. Particularly challenging is the final step of the instructional change process, "refreezing," when after making initial changes in instructional methods, instructors decide whether to continue…

Newton, Sunni; Alemdar, Meltem; Hilton, Ethan; Linsey, Julie; Fu, Katherine – International Journal of STEM Education, 2018
Background: A redesigned curriculum for teaching engineering graphics was adopted in an introductory mechanical engineering course. The rollout of this curriculum was staggered, allowing for comparisons of student perceptions across the newly revised and previous instructional approaches. The new curriculum borrows from content and pedagogy…

Durham, Mary F.; Knight, Jennifer K.; Bremers, Emily K.; DeFreece, Jameson D.; Paine, Alex R.; Couch, Brian A. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2018
Background: The Scientific Teaching (ST) pedagogical framework encompasses many of the best practices recommended in the literature and highlighted in national reports. Understanding the growth and impact of ST requires instruments to accurately measure the extent to which practitioners implement ST in their courses. Researchers have typically…

Beumann, Sarah; Wegner, Sven-Ake – International Journal of STEM Education, 2018
Background: We discuss first experiences with a new variant of self-assessment in higher mathematics education. In our setting, the students of the course have to mark a part of their homework assignments themselves and they receive the corresponding credit without that any later changes are carried out by the teacher. In this way, we seek to…

Alzen, Jessica L.; Langdon, Laurie S.; Otero, Valerie K. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2018
Background: Large introductory STEM courses historically have high failure rates, and failing such courses often leads students to change majors or even drop out of college. Instructional innovations such as the Learning Assistant model can influence this trend by changing institutional norms. In collaboration with faculty who teach…
