Competition, Anxiety, and Depression in the College Classroom: Variations by Student Identity and Field of Study (2016, background): “…grades (i.e., grading on a curve) suggests that it engenders social comparisons (Fines, 1996) that can lead students, particularly those who are already underrepresented, to question their potential or belonging (e.g., Baldwin, 2009; Seymour, 2002; Seymour & Hewitt, 1997; Washburn & Miller, 2004).”
The Impact of Teaching Assistants on Student Retention in the Sciences: Lessons for TA Training (2007, background): “…sciences are capable students with the aptitude to do well in science (Montgomery and Groat 1998; Seymour and Hewitt 1997; Tobias 1990), and the attrition problem is particularly acute for women and people of color (Astin and Astin 1993; Holstrom et al. 1997; Seymour 2002; Xie and Shauman 2003).”
What do we know about explanations for drop out/opt out among young people from STM higher education programmes? (2010, positive): “In her 2002 article Seymour para-phrases Einstein, and states that there is a growing recognition that: ‘You cannot resolve a problem in the conditions that created it’ (Seymour, 2002, p. 81).”
Active learning and student-centered pedagogy improve student attitudes and performance in introductory biology. (2009, background): “This need is particularly acute at the introductory level, where a major “leak in the pipeline” toward science careers has been noted (Seymour and Hewett, 1998; Seymour, 2001; NRC, 2007).”
Academic Success for STEM and Non-STEM Majors. (2010, background): “Subsequently, enrollment of students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields has increased somewhat (Huang, Taddese, & Walter, 2000; Seymour, 2002; Toulmin & Groome, 2007), but not at a pace to meet the goal of a leading business organization, Tapping America’s Potential (”
Aptitude and Personality Traits in Retention of Engineering Students (2015, background): “Prior research strongly supports the existence of multifaceted influences on retention, including the interaction among students, faculty, and institutional climate (Astin, 1993; Seymour, 2002; Seymour & Hewitt, 1997; Veenstra et al., 2009).”
The Roles of STEM Faculty Communities of Practice in Institutional and Departmental Reform in Higher Education (2017, background): “Scholars of change in higher education (Henderson et al., 2011; Kezar, 2011; Kezar & Lester, 2011; Seymour, 2002) have advocated for change that includes both bottom-up and top-down strategies for change.”
Increasing the Use of Evidence‐Based Teaching in STEM Higher Education: A Comparison of Eight Change Strategies (2014, background): “More recent summaries and reviews attempt to capture the complex higher education change processes that bridge individual and organizational scales (Amundsen & Wilson, 2012; Henderson et al., 2011; Kezar, 2001; Seymour, 2002; Stes, Min-Leliveld, Gijbels, & Van Petegem, 2010).”
STEM Attrition: College Students' Paths into and out of STEM Fields. Statistical Analysis Report. NCES 2014-001. (2013, background): “…encountered in gatekeeper or introductory math and science courses5 (Barr, Gonzalez, and Wanat 2008; Crisp, Nora, and Taggart 2009; Mervis 2010; Seymour 2001; Seymour and Hewitt 1997; Thompson et al. 2007); limited exposure to STEM coursework in the first 2 years (Bettinger 2010); and poor…”
