Many students who enroll in a public U.S. 4-y college will not graduate. The odds of completing degree are even lower for have been marginalized higher education, especially Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields. Can undergraduate research increase student's likelihood graduating close educational equity gaps completion? To answer this question, we use data from six universities (

Abstract Drawing on sociolinguistics research regarding common beliefs and justifications about language, we applied notions of language ideology to an analysis the formative assessment practices secondary science teachers from linguistically diverse schools. We identified two ideologies that were demonstrated by as they engaged in student work. Here, introduce terms language‐exclusive language‐inclusive . A holds certain forms are expected a class, others not appropriate. What have termed...

Instituting a field-based CURE for all biology and allied majors creates transformative experience wherein students view themselves as active members in the scientific community who are connected to place they live, increasing equity that can have far-reaching implications.

We derive the pre-shock density and scale length along line of sight for collisionless shock from a deep HST image that resolves H alpha filament in SN1006 updated model calculations. The very ACS high-resolution Balmer northwest (NW) quadrant shows 0.25 < n_0 le$ 0.4 cm-3 is about 2 x 10^{18} cm, while bright features within correspond to ripples with radii curvature less than 1/10 size. derived densities are broad range earlier estimates, they agree well ionization time Chandra X-ray...

Abstract A growing body of evidence shows that positive student outcomes are associated with racial/ethnic diversity among university STEM instructors. However, few studies to date have been able provide direct causal identifying the specific mechanism(s) hypothesized drive benefits instructor diversity. Leaving these mechanisms unexplained may lead both receptive and critical readers infer race or ethnicity somehow “natural” categories “cause” such outcomes. In this narrative review, we...

Environmental education seeks to foster meaningful connections local and global environments through creative nature experiences. Responding critiques of historical inequities, practitioners are prioritizing equitable access for historically marginalized youth, particularly from Black, Indigenous, Latinx communities; this identity-centered prioritization, while essential, generates questions normativity, diversity, relevance, engagement within identity groups. Drawing on creativity as...

Abstract A growing body of research demonstrates the value asking students to write about science for authentic purposes. But which purposes–and, just as importantly, whose purposes–count authentic? In this theoretical article, we review several conceptions purpose drawn from education and literacy use these question meaning significance authenticity in student writing. Next, examine framework Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (CRP) ask how it might be used define purposes We offer an additional...

Writing activities can function as powerful teaching tools in science education – but are their benefits realised equitably? The answer may depend part on how teachers interpret and respond to student writing light of societal stereotypes that link scientific competence, linguistic racial, ethnic, or gender identity. In this experiment, high school biology (n = 70) a U.S. state evaluated gave feedback purported sample. No main effect writer's racialised/gendered identity was found; however,...

College courses are an important forum for combating the stigmatization of African American Language (AAL). However, there is no comprehensive data regarding where, how, and by whom AAL content taught. Understanding landscape college teaching about could help identify challenges faced instructors who teach this content, as well policies or practices that support these instructors. We surveyed (N = 149) in multiple disciplines (primarily Linguistics, Education, English, Communication...

Digital game-based learning (DGBL) has the potential to promote equity in K–12 STEM education. However, few teachers have expertise DBGL, and professional development models exist support both acquiring this advancing equity. To of such models, we conducted a explore teacher acquisition technological, pedagogical, content knowledge for games (TPACK-G) during DGBL workshop series informed by culturally relevant pedagogy. This mixed methods pilot study used pre- post-surveys interviews...

Inclusivity efforts focused on gender and sexuality in higher education often fail to identify address the specific needs of queer Trans Students, Staff, Faculty Color. In this program description, we report ProjectQED, a student-organized event series at Stanford Graduate School Education that sought these unmet using intersectionality theory as an organizing framework. ProjectQED centered LGBTQ+ same-gender loving (SGL) perspectives from Asian American, Black, Latinx, Native Pacific...

Abstract Teachers sometimes learn information about their students prior to teaching them, a phenomenon we call “teacher foreknowledge.” This may be useful, but it also bias teacher expectations for in harmful ways. To date, few studies have quantitatively documented the types of foreknowledge teachers receive. When, where, and from whom do commonly acquire foreknowledge? Are some sources or perceived more influential than others? We explore these questions through survey elementary ( N =...

Background: African American Language (AAL) refers to a rich, widely used, and extensively researched language variety. Despite its importance, AAL remains stigmatized in the United States due anti-Black linguistic racism. Many colleges offer courses with content, these have potential help disrupt racism by promoting understanding respect for this language. Purpose: Simply increasing students’ knowledge about is unlikely College instructors must also attend wide range of challenges involved...

Abstract Ideologies of language and race are deeply connected in the United States. Language practices associated with racially marginalized communities, such as African American (AAL) or Spanglish, often heavily stigmatized. Such stigma is not grounded empirical research on language, but rather “raciolinguistic ideologies” that reproduce white supremacy oppression teacher education US classrooms—including science classrooms. Science need be this way, however. Translanguaging pedagogies can...

Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) can be invaluable for students, but implementing them across a university requires substantial faculty support. This case study explores the incorporation of CURE elements (discovery, iteration, scientific practices, broad relevance, and collaboration) into design professional learning program intended to support implementation. The findings suggest that incorporating Faculty Fellows Program simultaneous development successful...
