Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Pathways: High School Science and Math Coursework and Postsecondary Degree Attainment

Teksas-FeTeMM Okullarının Akademik Performanslarının İlişkili Oldukları Eğitim Servis Merkezlerine göre İncelemesi: Boylamsal bir Çalışma

“…In contrast, this number was 21.3% for male students. The story is different for Asian students; 32.7% out of the 44.5% of Asian students who obtained undergraduate degrees in STEM disciplines, whereas the percentages were 12.8% for White, 12.3% for African American, and 14.8% for Hispanic students (Tyson et al, 2007). Tai, Sadler, and Mintzes (2006) found that demographic background such as ethnicity and parental educational level, as well as educational background, were predictors for college science performance.…”

“…Tai, Sadler, and Mintzes (2006) found that demographic background such as ethnicity and parental educational level, as well as educational background, were predictors for college science performance. In addition, although female students took high level mathematics and science courses, they were less likely than male students to obtain STEM degrees (Tyson et al, 2007). Therefore, students' demographic backgrounds are relevant in STEM education research, including post-secondary STEM degree attainment and success.…”

Investigating the Effect of Freshman Minority Engineering Student Participation in a Minority Summer Bridge Program on Engineering Self-Efficacy and Early Academic Success at a Predominantly-White Institution

“…This framework takes into account "student precollege characteristics and experiences, the organizational context, the student peer environment, and, finally, the individual student experience" (Reason, 2009, p. 662). There are well-established differences in patterns of academic achievement and course-taking among incoming engineering students (Chang et al 2014;Sass 2015;Tyson et al 2007). These differences can express themselves as differences in the likelihood of academic success in college (Strayhorn, 2015).…”

Yes we can achieve in mathematics and why we don't : African American female eleventh and twelfth grade students in a career and technical setting.

“…Tyson, Lee, Borman, and Hanson (2007) analysis of STEM research, for example, indicates that " [t]raditionally, White and Asian men have filled STEM occupations, but many women and Black and Hispanic students forgo pathways toward STEM careers" (p. 248). Similarly, Simpkins and Davis-Kean (2005) studied 180 youth (54 percent female) and questioned them about their future career aspirations.…”
