Women’s Leadership in Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics:
Despite gains overall, women are still under-represented in leadership positions in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Data in the US suggest around onequarter of deans and department heads are women; in science this drops to nearly 1 in 20. Part of this problem of under-representation stems from the population pool: only 33% of science and engineering doctorate ho...
متن کاملThe Retention of Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics: A Framework for Persistence

متن کاملReconciling Learning and Teaching Styles in Science, Technology Engineering and Mathematics Disciplines through Cogenerative Dialogues
The use of cogenerative dialogues in Science disciplines is a pedagogical approach bringing together the plethora of academic and cultural backgrounds of current community college students. Specifically, this project illustrates the effects of integrating cogens in a community college chemistry class for science majors. Cogenerative dialogues were implemented in a Hostos Community College sprin...
متن کاملFemales' Enrollment and Completion in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Massive Open Online Courses
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have the potential to democratize education by providing learners with access to rich sources of information. However, evidence supporting this democratization across countries is limited. We explored the question of democratization by investigating whether females from different countries were more likely to enroll in and complete STEM MOOCs compared with ma...
متن کاملExploring and Enhancing Spatial Thinking: Links to Achievement in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics?
Although neglected in traditional education, spatial thinking plays a critical role in achievement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. We review this relationship and investigate the malleability of spatial thinking. Can spatial thinking be improved with training, life experience, or educational interventions? Can improving spatial thinking improve STEM achieveme...
