Kim, Yeo-eun; Yu, Shirley L.; Wolters, Christopher A.; Anderman, Eric M. – Educational Psychologist, 2023
As the pursuit of multiple goals is an inescapable reality in everyday life, students are consistently challenged to self-regulate toward achieving an array of academic goals as well as social and well-being goals.

Kogler, Raphaela; Vogl, Susanne; Astleithner, Franz – Journal of Education and Work, 2023

Young women remain underrepresented among engineering bachelor's degree holders. While there is a relatively large body of extant research on the many factors that curtail young women's interest in pursuing engineering, less is known about high school girls who are on an engineering pathway. Therefore, this study focuses on a select group of…

Shannon Fleishman – Teachers College Record, 2024
Community college student success metrics have become increasingly synonymous with the completion rate and other key academic performance measures over the past quarter century.

Peter Kelly; James Goring; Meave Noonan; Seth Brown – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2024
In this paper -- where we will draw on data from a small scale longitudinal study of young people's post-COVID aspirations and sense of their futures in a de-industrialising city -- we will suggest that Appadurai's (2004) ideas about the 'capacity to aspire' encourages us to shift our focus from the 'aspirations' of individual young people to…

Jennifer M. Blaney; Theresa E. Hernandez; Annie M. Wofford; David F. Feldon – Review of Higher Education, 2025
There are currently too few computer science faculty to meet student demand, and faculty from historically minoritized groups are severely underrepresented.
