Understanding the Risk of Attrition in Undergraduate Engineering: Results from the Project to Assess Climate in Engineering (2012, background): “The operationalization of retention in undergraduate engineering varies broadly from measurements of satisfaction with the major, intentions to persist, course-taking patterns, decisions to seek careers in the given field, to actual persistence to degree completion (e.g., Amelink & Creamer, 2010; Oh”
In Pursuit of Validity: A comprehensive review of science attitude instruments 1935–2005 (2008, background): “The underlying hypothesis has been that attitudes help to steer career choice and school performance (e.g., Cannon & Simpson, 1985; Germann, 1988; Hill, Atwater, & Wiggins, 1995; Hough & Piper, 1982; Rennie & Punch, 1991; Wyer, 2003).”
Young Children's Aspirations in Science: The unequivocal, the uncertain and the unthinkable (2013, result): “Likewise, despite previous research indicating the influence of images of science and scientists on students’ educational choices and aspirations (e.g. Bennett & Hogarth, 2009; Koren & Bar, 2009; Miller et al., 2006; Weisgram & Bigler, 2006; Wyer, 2003), the current study did not reveal an associati”
