Christensen, Rhonda; Knezek, Gerald; Tyler-Wood, Tandra; Gibson, David – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2013
The purpose of this paper is to determine whether the changes that were found to occur pre- to post intervention in students' cognitive structures (Mills, 2013; Knezek, Christensen, Tyler-Wood, & Periathiruvadi, 2013) continued to persist two years later. Major findings were: a) semantic perception of science and STEM as a career became more…
