Download or read book How Does Participation in Science Fair Affect Student Performance in the Science Classroom written by Gary E. Alexander and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This capstone examines the effects of Science Fair participation on classroom performance. Beginning with a discussion of the nature of Science Fair as an educational endeavor, the educational context is presented, including theories of Inquiry and Constructivism, and National Science Standards. Having established a model for effective learning and using the same to generate questions about attitudes and behaviors, the specific sixteen questions developed for this study elicited information about student experiences. Discussions of the value of survey results and of use of the particular Likert Scale were followed by presentation and analysis of results of each question. Significant differences were noted between Science Fair, non-Science Fair, and International Science Fair students. Results of study suggest that both Science Fair participation and teaching strategies that use Inquiry and active learning have the effect of creating more engaging learners.

Download or read book Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-07-29 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order for the United States to maintain the global leadership and competitiveness in science and technology that are critical to achieving national goals, we must invest in research, encourage innovation, and grow a strong and talented science and technology workforce. Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation explores the role of diversity in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce and its value in keeping America innovative and competitive. According to the book, the U.S. labor market is projected to grow faster in science and engineering than in any other sector in the coming years, making minority participation in STEM education at all levels a national priority. Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation analyzes the rate of change and the challenges the nation currently faces in developing a strong and diverse workforce. Although minorities are the fastest growing segment of the population, they are underrepresented in the fields of science and engineering. Historically, there has been a strong connection between increasing educational attainment in the United States and the growth in and global leadership of the economy. Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation suggests that the federal government, industry, and post-secondary institutions work collaboratively with K-12 schools and school systems to increase minority access to and demand for post-secondary STEM education and technical training. The book also identifies best practices and offers a comprehensive road map for increasing involvement of underrepresented minorities and improving the quality of their education. It offers recommendations that focus on academic and social support, institutional roles, teacher preparation, affordability and program development.
