Shirly Avargil; Greta Sterimbaum; Hafeeza Dahley-Zoabi – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
There is a decline in recent years in the number of students studying chemistry in higher education. Many studies have been conducted on elementary and high school students' choice with fewer focusing on the factors that influence undergraduate students to choose to major in chemistry. Research also indicates that belonging to a minority group…

Josh Forakis; Joe L. March – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way that students and educators are able to interact in higher education settings, and timely investigations into its impact on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students are of critical importance. In a continued effort to provide student data to chemistry educators, we offer a…

Forakis, Josh; March, Joe L.; Erdmann, Mitzy – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Future science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professionals are a key part of dealing with disasters like that of the coronavirus disease of 2019, but the pandemic may result in a gap in individuals joining the STEM workforce. In the present work, we offer a picture of our students' identity as scientists and intentions to pursue…

Dicke, Anna-Lena; Safavian, Nayssan; Gao, Yannan; Eccles, Jacquelynne S. – Grantee Submission, 2019
To address high STEM college attrition rates, it is critical to understand what motivates undergraduates' pursuit of STEM. The current study investigated the association of a diverse socio-demographic background with different types of perceived chemistry career affordances (prosocial, other communal, and agentic) and their association with…

Postgraduate engagement in delivering outreach activities is more commonplace than it once was. However, the impact on postgraduate students (typically studying for a Ph.D. degree) of participating in the delivery of these outreach activities has rarely, if ever, been recorded. The Bristol ChemLabS Outreach program has been running for ca. 17…

Avargil, Shirly; Kohen, Zehavit; Dori, Yehudit Judy – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2020
In many countries, the choice of a STEM career, especially in chemistry, is decreasing. A shortage of appropriately skilled workers can become a threat to any country's future achievements. Our research strives to understand behavioral trends and career choice factors related to personal and environmental themes. Building on the foundations of the…

Dawes, Alexander J.; Wheeldon, Ruth – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2022
Background: Currently there are international concerns over teacher recruitment and attrition rates, especially in mathematics and the physical sciences. Much has been written about the recruitment of student teachers and the reasons people give for going into teaching, but little on the broader context of these people's lives and the complex…

Baran, Mukadder; Baran, Medine – Journal of Education and Learning, 2023
This research aims to draw a picture of chemistry lessons based on students' opinions in Hakkari, Turkey. The research design is a case study. An open-ended qualitative questionnaire consisting of 15 questions was used. The questionnaire was applied to 463 tenth- and eleventh-grade students studying at high schools in Hakkari. The data obtained…

Payne, Corey; Crippen, Kent J. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
Persistence is a major issue facing students, particularly those who are both female and from underrepresented ethnic minorities (URM). A closer look at the variables affecting their commitment and capacity for continuing the pursuit of their goal allows us to better design support systems that bolster persistence. This study tests a structural…

Achievement emotions are critical for students' academic performance and career choices. The previous literature has focused on one specific type of achievement emotions--test anxiety--in Western contexts and neglected other various emotions experienced in different occasions such as attending classes. The present study aims to address the…
