Dou, Remy; Hazari, Zahra; Dabney, Katherine; Sonnert, Gerhard; Sadler, Philip – Science Education, 2019
In this paper, we examine the relationship between participants' childhood science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) related experiences, their STEM identity (i.e., seeing oneself as a STEM person), and their college career intentions. Whereas some evidence supports the importance of childhood (i.e., K-4) informal STEM education…

Copeland, Susan; Furlong, Michelle; Boroson, Bram – International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, 2018
Since the advent of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) programs, first in K-12 and now in college curricula, many variants of STEM have arisen to include other disciplines in developing cross-disciplinary literacy among students. This paper briefly defines our own variant STE[A]M branch within the context of cross-disciplinary…

Dabney, Katherine P.; Tai, Robert H.; Almarode, John T.; Miller-Friedmann, Jaimie L. L.; Sonnert, Gerhard; Sadler, Philip M.; Hazari, Zahra – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2012
Spurred by concerns about an inadequately sized science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce, there has been a growing interest in out-of-school time (OST) science activities as a means to foster STEM career interest. This study examines the association between OST science activities and STEM career interest in university…

Subramaniam, Mega; Ahn, June; Waugh, Amanda; Druin, Allison – Knowledge Quest, 2012
Understanding how to better engage young students in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) is essential. The constraints of U.S. K-12 schools (e.g. insufficient institutional supports, lack of technology access, testing pressures, etc.) often make it difficult to create truly engaging STEM curricula with which students can deeply…
