Building Women's Innovation Capacities through Undergraduate Experiences
Selznick, Benjamin S.; Mayhew, Matthew J.; Zhang, Lini; McChesney, Eric T.
Research in Higher Education, v63 n4 p567-588 Jun 2022
This study examines how collegiate climates and practices can promote innovation capacities among an international longitudinal sample of undergraduate women. Using a pre-test/post-test quantitative design with a reliable and valid dependent measure of innovation capacities, this study employs structural equation modeling to robustly estimate collegiate effects over-and-above students' entry characteristics and personality traits. Results indicate that curricular practices (e.g., faculty challenge, course-taking patterns) and co-curricular engagement (e.g., connecting experiences) spur the development of innovation capacities among our sample of women. Findings are discussed and implications for theory, research, and practice are provided.
