This dissertation presents a framework for understanding how beliefs about difficulty and talent in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) influence students’ subsequent decisions to major and complete degrees in those...
Despite multiple policy changes over the last three decades, women are still underrepresented in many science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields at the undergraduate level. This issue is a major policy concern for...
The Center for Postsecondary Success at Florida State University has been studying the implementation and outcomes of SB 1720 since its initial implementation by surveying campus leaders across the FCS. This report explores the third set...
Students' perceptions of their mathematics ability vary by gender and seem to influence science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) degree choice. Related, students' perceptions during academic difficulty are increasingly...
This study explores the state of higher education research centers in the United States with a focus on center funding, organization, research topics, challenges, and opportunities. An online survey was disseminated in Spring 2017 to...
Students’ lives outside of college can have dramatic effects on academic outcomes (e.g., grades, persistence, graduation). However, the manner in which students’ lives outside of college are referenced in college-effects models suggests... This study examined three types of non-college life events—financial disruption, a family or friend’s death, and similar family distressful situations—and how they might predict the likelihood of students’ graduation. Using longitudinal... In this study, researchers looked at 3, 914 college students and found that outside life events, such as financial disruption, and similar distressful situations, affected over half of all college students and...
Do mathematics ability beliefs explain gender gaps in the physical science, engineering, mathematics, and computer science fields (PEMC) and other science fields? We leverage U.S. nationally representative longitudinal data to estimate...
