In 2020, STEM training programs across the country were challenged to provide support to students during a nation-wide shutdown of research institutions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Five U.S. high school science internship programs funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, with a history of collaboration, developed innovative…

O.; Wyatt, Letisha R.; Covarrubia, Alonso Delgado; Zell, Adrienne; Adrienne, Thomas E.; Morris, Cynthia; Crespo, Carlos J. – Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2021
Research experience provides critical training for new biomedical research scientists. Students from underrepresented populations studying science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are increasingly recruited into research pathways to diversify STEM fields. However, support structures outside of research settings designed to help…

Qua, Kelli; Haider, Raza; Junk, Damian J.; Berger, Nathan A. – Journal of STEM Outreach, 2021
Case Western Reserve University's School of Medicine and Comprehensive Cancer Center coordinate in-depth research immersion STEM programs to engage high school students in biomedical research and encourage pursuit of careers in health-related research and clinical care. Due to COVID-19, the 2020 programs were delivered entirely virtually. Student…

Qua, Kelli; Pinkard, Otis; Kundracik, Emma C.; Ramirez-Bergeron, Diana; Berger, Nathan A. – Journal of STEM Outreach, 2020
A Near Peer Mentoring Program (NPMP) was developed in which Medical Student Training Program (MSTP) students met weekly with small groups of high school students who were participating in an intensive summer biomedical research immersion program. The goal of the NPMP was to provide and engage the high school students with opportunities to express…

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…

Dyrberg, Nadia Rahbek; Holmegaard, Henriette Tolstrup – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2019
Background: The high rates of attrition in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) programmes causes concern over a future shortage of graduates entering STEM careers. Students' first year experiences critically affect their motivation and are therefore also critical components of students' academic success in terms of retention,…

Krause, Liesl A.; Strimel, Greg J.; Rispoli, Joseph – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2018
Broadening participation in STEM education programs and boosting the STEM workforce, specifically increasing interest in engineering, has been a growing focus of the U.S. education system (Lawrence & Mancus, 2012; Strimel, Grubbs, & Wells, 2017). The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects overall STEM employment to grow by 8.9% from 2014 to…

Whittinghill, Jonathan C.; Slovacek, Simeon P.; Flenoury, Laura P.; Miu, Vivian – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2019
The programs Minority Access in Research Careers (MARC) and Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE) are funded by the National Institutes of Health to increase the number of students from underrepresented backgrounds earning degrees in the biomedical sciences. This article estimates the impact of participation in MARC and RISE on…

DeRosa, Donald; Franzblau, Carl; Phillips, Constance; Romney, Carla – Journal of STEM Outreach, 2020
Boston University's (BU) CityLab program was created in 1991 as a partnership between faculty members of BU's School of Medicine and School of Education in response to the first call for proposals under the Science Education Partnership Awards initiative of the National Institutes of Health. CityLab's founders recognized the need for CityLab, a…

Trauth-Nare, Amy; Pavilonis, Amy; Paganucci, Julia; Ciabattoni, Gemma; Buckley, Jenni – Science Teacher, 2016
"Mechanics" is a branch of engineering and physics that deals with forces and motion, and its fundamental principles apply to all objects, whether a bouncing ball, flowing stream, bicycle, or the human body. The field of "biomechanics" applies mechanics concepts specifically to the bodies of humans (and other animals).…

Andrea S. Lin; Julie K. Bray; Margaret M. Fettis; Gabriel A. Fernandez Bueno; Julie Bokor – Journal of STEM Outreach, 2019
Translational science is the cornerstone of biomedicine that transfers laboratory and clinical research to the hospital bedside in various forms of therapeutic interventions. This scientific branch influences public health decisions, the economy, and ongoing research endeavors. The purpose of this study was to develop a youth-friendly…

Patall, Erika A.; Steingut, Rebecca R.; Freeman, Jen L.; Pituch, Keenan A.; Vasquez, Ariana C. – Science Education, 2018
Women remain underrepresented in physical science, engineering, and computer science college majors and careers. Prior research has suggested that motivational beliefs and experiences in high school play a critical role in girls' persistence in science fields. We hypothesized that compared to male students, female high school students may…

Sinclair, Alison J. – Higher Education Studies, 2017
The ability to apply prior knowledge to new challenges is a skill that is highly valued by employers, but the confidence to achieve this does not come naturally to all students. An essential step to becoming an independent researcher requires a transition between simply following a fail-safe set of instructions to being able to adapt a known…

Penkauskiene, Daiva; Railiene, Asta; Cruz, Gonçalo – Studies in Higher Education, 2019
Although Critical Thinking (CT) has been a desirable aim expressed both by higher education institutions and labour market professionals, studies on what CT means and what it looks like in the workplace are scarce. The current study intends to tackle this gap by sharing findings about the importance of CT and its practical manifestation in…

Naomi Lee; Alfreda Nelson; Vanessa Svihla – International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2018
Literature shows that students who enter the science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medical-related (STEMM) pipeline at earlier stages of their career are more likely to be successful. This is especially true for underrepresented and economically disadvantaged students. Despite the increasing number of students entering the pipeline,…
