The benefits of playing video games. (2014, background): “STEM areas of expertise have been repeatedly linked to long-term career success and are predicted to be especially critical in the next century (Wai et al., 2010).”
Changes in implicit theories of ability in biology and dropout from STEM majors: A latent growth curve approach (2014, background): “…effect of several predictors of STEM retention identified by prior research—cognition and prior knowledge (Feldon, Timmerman, Stowe, & Showman, 2010; Wai et al., 2010), course achievement in gateway STEM courses (Gasiewski et al., 2012; Jones et al., 2010), and beliefs and motivation (Perez et…”
The malleability of spatial skills: a meta-analysis of training studies. (2013, background): “The very high level of spatial skills that seems to be required for success in engineering (and other STEM fields) is one important factor that limits the number of Americans who are able to become engineers (Wai et al., 2009; Wai et al., 2010) and thus contributes to the severe”
Gender Gap in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM): Current Knowledge, Implications for Practice, Policy, and Future Directions (2016, positive): “Extending research beyond average differences in male/female performance on standardized tests, studies have found a disproportionately higher number of males scoring in the extreme right tail of the distribution, from which many talented STEM professionals are sourced (Wai et al. 2010, 2012).”
When Less Is More: Effects of Grade Skipping on Adult STEM Productivity Among Mathematically Precocious Adolescents (2013, methodology): “…reflect the increased availability of alternative forms of acceleration, such as advanced placement (AP) courses, college courses in high school, summer programs, and research and writing opportunities (Wai et al., 2010), which moderated the differences between the grade skippers and their matches.”
