Rosenzweig, Emily Q.; Hecht, Cameron A.; Priniski, Stacy J.; Canning, Elizabeth A.; Asher, Michael W.; Tibbetts, Yoi; Hyde, Janet S.; Harackiewicz, Judith M. – Grantee Submission, 2021
Researchers often invoke the metaphor of a pipeline when studying participation in careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), focusing on the important issue of students who "leak" from the pipeline, but largely ignoring students who persist in STEM. Using interview, survey, and institutional data over 6 years,…

Cruz, Gonçalo; Payan-Carreira, Rita; Dominguez, Caroline; Silva, Helena; Morais, Felicidade – Higher Education Research and Development, 2021
Even though Critical Thinking (CT) is an important goal for higher education institutions and labour market professionals, studies dealing with employers' perceptions on CT meaning and envisioning in the workplace are scarce. Intended to tackle this gap, the current study provides an overview of the need for and practical application of CT in the…

Abernathy, Kristen; Abernathy, Zachary; Costner, Beth; Rusinko, Joseph; Westover, Kristi – PRIMUS, 2017
Winthrop University is a public comprehensive university of about 6000 students, 5000 of whom are undergraduates. The Department of Mathematics offers a baccalaureate degree in mathematics, but has no graduate degree programs. As late as 2009, there was essentially no undergraduate research in the department. At this time, faculty made efforts to…

Inglis, Colin – School Science Review, 2017
There is much more to science education than the requirements demanded by the examination curriculum. This article illustrates one example of an in-depth investigation, kick started with a Royal Society Partnership Grant, into essential oils as antimicrobial agents. The project and subsequent extensions were selected to be presented at various…

Cook, David P.; Steed, Kevin; Read, Chloe; Baysarowich, Renée; Redway, Tyler; Robineau-Charette, Pascale; Carnegie, Jacqueline – HAPS Educator, 2020
STEM-related educational outreach offers students enriching opportunities to become more familiar with science, in terms of how it relates to their daily lives and with respect to possible career paths that they might want to follow. At the same time, graduate student trainees providing that outreach act as important resources for elementary and…

Rosenzweig, Emily Q.; Harackiewicz, Judith M.; Hecht, Cameron A.; Priniski, Stacy J.; Canning, Elizabeth A.; Tibbetts, Yoi; Asher, Michael W.; Hyde, Janet S. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
This study examined whether students who left biomedical fields of study during college did so primarily because they became disenchanted with those fields or because they felt attracted to alternative fields of study. We identified 1,193 students intending to pursue biomedical fields of study early in college, collected data about their beliefs…

Hecht, Cameron A.; Harackiewicz, Judith M.; Priniski, Stacy J.; Canning, Elizabeth A.; Tibbetts, Yoi; Hyde, Janet S. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
A wide range of occupations require science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) skills, yet almost half of students who intend to pursue a postsecondary STEM education abandon these plans before graduating from college. This attrition is especially pronounced among underrepresented groups (i.e., racial/ethnic minorities and…
