How stereotypes and relationships influence women and underrepresented minority students' fit in engineering

Rebecca Campbell-Montalvo et al.

Summary: This study examines the experiences of women and URM students in engineering undergraduate programs, highlighting the challenges faced by non-majority students and how social networks and organizations can provide support to mitigate these challenges. Women and URM students who fit well were typically those with majority characteristics, while those facing threats to fit often encountered stereotypes and differential treatment. However, advice and resources from social networks and organizations helped alleviate fit issues and promote persistence in engineering for these students.

Fun moments or consequential experiences? A model for conceptualising and researching equitable youth outcomes from informal STEM learning

Louise Archer et al.

Summary: This paper argues for an approach to informal STEM learning that prioritizes equity and social justice outcomes, proposing a new model with five key areas for reflecting on equitable youth outcomes from ISL. The model was applied to empirical data collected over one year in UK-based ISL settings with young people from traditionally under-represented communities, analyzing the extent to which equitable outcomes were experienced in relation to the five areas. The paper concludes with implications for ISL and how the model could support efforts to reimagine ISL as a vehicle for social justice.

'It really has made me think': Exploring how informal STEM learning practitioners developed critical reflective practice for social justice using the Equity Compass tool

Louise Archer et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the importance of critical reflective practice in the informal STEM learning sector and introduces a new reflective tool, the Equity Compass. Through the analysis of multimodal qualitative data from practitioners in different settings in the UK, the study found that using the Equity Compass increased practitioners' knowledge and understanding of equity issues, supported personal and institutional critical reflection, and fostered more intentional equitable planning and practice.

Understanding why women don't choose engineering degrees

Lorenzo Salas-Morera et al.

Summary: Despite efforts by governments and universities worldwide to address the underrepresentation of women in engineering degrees, the trend has not changed. Research found important misconceptions among high school students about engineering, but engaging in engineering projects can encourage girls to consider engineering careers. Educational barriers acquired in earlier stages of life may prevent girls from pursuing engineering professions.

Transitioning into higher education: rituals and implied expectations

Andrea Fransiska Moller Gregersen et al.

Summary: This study investigates the expectations and culture first-year students encounter when entering higher education, focusing on induction activities as students' first encounter with the new institutional setting. By analyzing rituals within different study programmes, the research demonstrates how these rituals reflect patterns and cultural elements students experience throughout their first year. The findings highlight the key role played by senior students in communicating norms and traditions to new students.

Who has high science capital? An exploration of emerging patterns of science capital among students aged 17/18 in England

Julie Moote et al.

Summary: This paper examines the science capital of 17/18 year old English secondary school students, finding that levels of science capital are influenced by gender, ethnicity, cultural capital, and science set, and tend to decrease with age. Students with high science capital are more likely to pursue STEM qualifications, and there is a slight increase in the proportion of boys with high science capital.
