How to encourage little scientists? Get out of the way! with Neil Degrasse Tyson

Expert advice from astrophysicist and all-around smartypants, Neil deGrasse Tyson: If you want your kid to love science (and grow up just like Neil?!), let them be kids, he says. Playing in puddles, taking things apart, and asking endless questions today can cultivate the best scientific minds of tomorrow.View External Website

Science in the Moment (SciMo)

Science in the Moment (SciMo) is a 3 year research study funded by the National Science Foundation at Northern Illinois University. The purpose of SciMo is to provide a descriptive account of what a variety of high school science contexts feel like from the perspective of female and male students. The overarching theoretical and conceptual perspectives for the study include: (1) Self Determination Theory focuses on the importance of students' cognitions in learning around issues concerning autonomy and competence. (2) Emergent Motivation Theory is branch of the field of positive psychology, focused on the important role of affect in learning. (3) Women's ways of knowing suggests that females and males may approach academic learning, including learning science, differently because of identified differences in how girls and boys are socialized to assume socially-sanctioned gender roles, and societal expectations for males and females academic performance.

Research2Practice

Research2Practice is a free web resource containing summaries of recent peer-reviewed science education research. Since launching in June, the site has added dozens of new briefs as well as synthesis papers on identity and learning as well as on science education and cultural diversity. You can log on for free, browse, search, and save briefs that are relevant to your work. The research represents a broad spectrum of studies in both formal and informal settings. The site is funded by the National Science Foundation, and developed by researchers at the Exploratorium, King's College London, and the University of Washington. View External Website

Cognitive Beliefs and Cultural Variables Matter in STEM Career Development

This webinar, sponsored by the STEM Equity Pipeline, focuses on the relevance of cognitive beliefs and cultural variables on academic and career commitment in science and engineering. Data from studies of underrepresented STEM populations at the undergraduate level will be presented. Examples of strategies for increasing STEM career interests, commitment to research, reinforcing STEM students' academic self-efficacy beliefs, and reducing perceived academic barriers at the individual, department, and institutional levels will be discussed. An archived version of the webinar (with audio) and presentation slides are available.View External WebsiteView External Website
