Increasing Diversity in Higher Education: A Look at the Pathways to the Educational Sciences Program

Sat, April 18, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The Pathways to Education Science Research Training program was established in 2015 by the Institute for Education Sciences (IES) as a way to support underrepresented students’ entry into education research. While formats vary, core features include: (a) a research apprenticeship, in which participants gain hands-on research experience under the supervision of faculty mentors, (b) an education problem or issue chosen as the research theme of the training program, (c) the development of methodological knowledge and skills; and (d) career development, to prepare undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, or master’s students for doctoral study in education research. In this session, participants from four of the six existing programs will present their training program, emphasizing factors that promote interest in graduate education, and mentoring efforts.
