Rodriguez, Laura S.; Morzillo, Anita; Volin, John C.; Campbell, Todd – School Science and Mathematics, 2020
Our research centered on developing the Conservation Science and Technology Identity (CSTI) instruments as an empirical way to measure STEM identities and the intersection of identity constructs such as competence, performance, recognition, and ways of seeing and being. The surveys were used in a large funded multi-year project for teens and…

Rodriguez, Laura; Campbell, Todd; Volin, John C.; Moss, David M. – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2023
Our multiple case study addresses the lack of opportunities many people have developing positive identification with STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) fields by investigating STEM identity authoring in three intergenerational collaborative partnerships. Adult and teen partners participated in two-day workshops learning conservation…
