Underrepresented and Understudied: A Quantitative Longitudinal Examination of Science Identity of First-Year Southeast Asian STEM College Students
Fri, April 22, 4:15 to 5:45pm PDT (4:15 to 5:45pm PDT), Division Virtual Rooms, Division J - Section 1: College Student Learning and Development Virtual Roundtable Session RoomAbstract
Guided by Lent, Brown, and Hackett’s (1994) social cognitive career theory, Carlone and Johnson’s (2007) science identity model, and Yosso’s (2005) community cultural wealth, this quantitative longitudinal study examined the development of science identity of first-year Southeast Asian STEM college students. Emphasizing the need to disaggregate Asian American and Pacific Islander student data, this study utilized two nationwide and multi-institutional surveys and employed descriptive and inferential analyses to illuminate that Southeast Asian students enter college with unique experiences and dispositions. This study suggests that interactions beyond the classroom (e.g., family support, faculty interaction) are salient in Southeast Asian students’ science identity development. Future research should strive to examine Asian American and Pacific Islander students as diverse subgroups with unique experiences.
