Yagoub, Rahmtalla Yousif; Eledum, Hussein Yousif; Yassin, Atif Ali – SAGE Open, 2023
The main objective of this article is to use the logistic regression model as one of the generalized linear models to determine some factors that influence academic tripping at the University of Tabuk. In this case, student status (tripped, non-tripped) is considered as a binary variable. The data of this article were collected using a survey…

Sanchez, Mabel E.; Hypolite, Liane I.; Newman, Christopher B.; Cole, Darnell G. – Journal of Negro Education, 2019
National discourse about STEM careers has dominated conversations about the need to meet the demands of the labor market. The ever increasing population diversity requires the participation of underrepresented groups, including women and individuals from racially minoritized backgrounds. However, for those at the intersections of historical and…

Johnson, Angela; Ong, Maria; Ko, Lily T.; Smith, Janet; Hodari, Apriel – Physics Teacher, 2017
Women of color are deeply underrepresented in physics. Between 2002 and 2012, only 1% of graduating physics majors were Black women and another 1% were Latinas; only 61 American Indian women total completed degrees in physics in those years (out of 48,000 physics majors). This isolation can lead to additional obstacles that women of color majoring…

Mulvey, Patrick J.; Nicholson, Starr – Statistical Research Center of the American Institute of Physics, 2012
The Statistical Research Center of the American Institute of Physics conducts an annual census of all degree-granting physics departments in the United States and Puerto Rico. The survey had a 95% response rate from the 751 departments that granted physics bachelor's degrees in the class of 2010. Results show that the number of physics bachelor's…

Plane, Jandelyn – ProQuest LLC, 2010
This study explores the representation of women in computer science at the tertiary level through data collected about undergraduate computer science education at Kabul University in Afghanistan. Previous studies have theorized reasons for underrepresentation of women in computer science, and while many of these reasons are indeed present in…

Gilmartin, Shannon; Denson, Nida; Li, Erika; Bryant, Alyssa; Aschbacher, Pamela – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2007
To examine how school characteristics are tied to science and engineering views and aspirations of students who are underrepresented in science and engineering fields, this mixed-methods study explores relationships between aspects of students' science identities, and the representation of women among high school science teachers. Quantitative…

Green, Agnes Ann – 1976
The 1973 study by the Women Chemists Committee is updated for the 1974-75 academic year. Only professors, associate professors, and assistant professors are included, since lecturers, instructors, and others are not considered full-time appointees or permanent positions. Unfortunately, in following the fate of young women Ph.D.'s, it seems that…
