Diversifying the STEM workforce is a national priority, yet white males continue to dominate the ranks of professional scientists and engineers in the United States. This is partly due to disparities in academic success for women and minoritized students in prerequisite introductory STEM courses, leading to higher attrition from B.S. degree…

Breda McTaggart – Policy Futures in Education, 2024
Regional Technical Colleges, later Institutes of Technology, were developed just over fifty years ago in response to a perceived gap in knowledge, skills, and competencies required to promote market growth and success (Thorn, 2018). It was envisaged that this change to Ireland's higher education landscape would be capable of continuing adaptation…

Deal, Denise Diane – ProQuest LLC, 2019
To the extent that community college leadership seeks to provide access and equity to traditionally underrepresented groups, summer science bridge programs attempt to provide access to underrepresented science students. The problem addressed by the researcher is the impact of grade point average or science degree attainment of community college…

Buenrostro, Patricia M.; Radinsky, Josh – Cognition and Instruction, 2019
Critical math and science educators have argued for pedagogies that focus on equity, social justice, and the identities of learners. To inform debates about the purposes and values of math and science pedagogy, we need to better understand how different kinds of curriculum and instruction are taken up by learners over time. This study examines the…

Natalie V. Nagthall – ProQuest LLC, 2020
The purpose of this study was to address the underrepresentation of racially minoritized students in the STEM field. Community colleges have emerged as institutions that are uniquely positioned to increase the number of racially minoritized students in STEM. To support the success of racially minoritized students in STEM, a recommended practice is…

Patterson, David – Library Quarterly, 2009
Librarians in community colleges have engaged in information literacy (IL) for decades, but their theorizing of IL has never taken equity as a starting point. This article asserts that IL theory radiating from equity requires the animating dynamics that conceptual advances in literacy theory offer. By examining early moments in librarianship to…
