Talent and Identity Development Across the STEM Pathway
Fri, April 13, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Pan Pacific, Floor: Restaurant Level, Oceanview 7&8Session Submission Type: Symposium
Abstract
A declining cadre of skilled workers for scientific fields portends a decline in U.S. global competitiveness. To avert this scenario, it is important to identify and assess effective postsecondary contexts and interventions that promote diversity, access, and engagement in the sciences during college to not only retain students but also prepare science graduates for post-college pathways that lead to advanced studies and scientific research careers. This session presents findings from quantitative and qualitative analyses in examining the talent development process in STEM from three perspectives: introductory STEM courses; the undergraduate years, examining three critical points of college entry, the end of the freshman year, and the end of the senior year; and graduate school experiences.
