The latest push to encourage workforce growth in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) disciplines has generated varying results. Overall, demand for STEM graduates is outpacing the numbers available. This has motivated a wide range of proposed solutions to increase the number of people trained to work in these fields. While a focus on college recruitment in these areas is a necessity for increasing numbers of STEM graduates, the expanding variety of students admitted to university programs in STEM disciplines creates a new series of issues in higher education. Most prominently, retention and graduation rates are low in STEM disciplines. This study expands the understanding of the factors related to college retention, specifically in the field of engineering, by creating the Academic Performance-Commitment Matrix (APCM). The APCM simultaneously considers indicators related to cognitive ability, psychosocial factors and efficacy thereby providing a more complete profile of students. This profile, based on widely accepted measures of academic performance, supports a more informed approach to formulating curricula and coursework with an objective of increased retention. The APCM was developed utilizing a carefully developed assessment tool to determine the psychosocial underpinnings of measures of objective academic performance (MOAPs). In this study the MOAPs used were ACT math score and GPA, both well regarded as predictors of success, however the APCM is novel in its consideration of their simultaneous impact. By using the new APCM framework to study the success of a first-year math intervention course at Wright State University (EGR101), the impacts of the course on mathematics efficacy are readily apparent. Without the descriptive structure of the APCM, the drivers of the increases in efficacy and graduation rates are much more difficult to discern. The value of the APCM derives substantially from creating a multidimensional view of students. This study found that the outcomes of the intervention were much greater for certain student groups within the APCM framework. The broader potential impact of EGR101 on meeting demand becomes clearer with the National Model of Engineering Education (NMEE). The NMEE incorporates the expanded understanding of the impact of EGR 101 on engineering students through the APCM in a model of engineering programs across the country. The NMEE utilizes the structure of schools by selectivity tier and provides a reasoned estimation of production of engineers through varying constraints. This is used to consider scenarios of how demand for engineers may be met through domestic production.

It is becoming increasingly clear that non-cognitive psychological processes are important for students’ school achievement, even to the point where their influence may be stronger than that exerted by the parents, teachers, or the school atmosphere itself. Non-cognitive psychological variables refer to varieties of self-beliefs and goal orientations – such as anxiety, confidence, self-efficacy, and self-concept – which are often seen as dispositional and motivational in nature. It is particularly important to highlight the role that confidence and self-efficacy play in school achievement, as these two self-beliefs are related to metacognitive processing – the awareness of what you know and what you do not know. Self-concept, meanwhile, tends to exert its influence on an individual’s choice of tertiary level courses. This book suggests that by focusing on students’ self-beliefs, the education system may be in a position to improve cognitive performance, since individual students’ self-beliefs may be more malleable than the cognitive processes involved in acquiring academic knowledge. Focusing on these non-cognitive psychological processes is also likely to be more effective in improving performance than system-wide interventions involving changes in policy for both public and private sector educators. This book will be useful to educational researchers, school leaders, administrators, counsellors, and teachers, in guiding students’ attitudes towards learning and school performance. It will also provide students in psychology and education with broad and nuanced insights into the drivers of school achievement. This book was originally published as a special issue of Educational Psychology.

There is no doubt that the onset of a new decade has brought high expectations of academic progress for scholars, especially for researchers in mathematics education. The International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education was born in 1976, which focused on the international exchange of knowledge in the psychology of mathematics education, the promotion of interdisciplinary research with psychologists, mathematicians and mathematics teachers, and the development of the psychological aspects of teaching and learning mathematics and its implications.

Handbook of Gender and Sexuality in Psychological Assessment brings together two interrelated realms: psychological assessment with gender and sexuality. This handbook aids in expanding the psychological assessors’ knowledge and skill when considering how gender and sexuality shapes the client’s and the assessor’s experiences. Throughout the six sections, gender and sexuality are discussed in their relation to different psychological methods of assessment; various psychological disorders; special considerations for children, adolescents, and older adults; important training and ethical considerations; as well as several in-depth case discussions.

First published in 1985, the Handbook for Achieving Gender Equity Through Education quickly established itself as the essential reference work concerning gender equity in education. This new, expanded edition provides a 20-year retrospective of the field, one that has the great advantage of documenting U.S. national data on the gains and losses in the efforts to advance gender equality through policies such as Title IX, the landmark federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in education, equity programs and research. Key features include: Expertise – Like its predecessor, over 200 expert authors and reviewers provide accurate, consensus, research-based information on the nature of gender equity challenges and what is needed to meet them at all levels of education. Content Area Focus – The analysis of gender equity within specific curriculum areas has been expanded from 6 to 10 chapters including mathematics, science, and engineering. Global/Diversity Focus – Global gender equity is addressed in a separate chapter as well as in numerous other chapters. The expanded section on gender equity strategies for diverse populations contains seven chapters on African Americans, Latina/os, Asian and Pacific Island Americans, American Indians, gifted students, students with disabilities, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students. Action Oriented – All chapters contain practical recommendations for making education activities and outcomes more gender equitable. A final chapter consolidates individual chapter recommendations for educators, policymakers, and researchers to achieve gender equity in and through education. New Material – Expanded from 25 to 31 chapters, this new edition includes: *more emphasis on male gender equity and on sexuality issues; *special within population gender equity challenges (race, ability and disability, etc); *coeducation and single sex education; *increased use of rigorous research strategies such as meta-analysis showing more sex similarities and fewer sex differences and of evaluations of implementation programs; *technology and gender equity is now treated in three chapters; *women’s and gender studies; *communication skills relating to English, bilingual, and foreign language learning; and *history and implementation of Title IX and other federal and state policies. Since there is so much misleading information about gender equity and education, this Handbook will be essential for anyone who wants accurate, research-based information on controversial gender equity issues—journalists, policy makers, teachers, Title IX coordinators, equity trainers, women’s and gender study faculty, students, and parents.

This study explores the relationship between the level and the growth of students' mathematics performance and parents, teacher, and peers social support during the middle and high school years. We used the data set of Longitudinal Study of American Youth (LSAY) to do a latent class analysis (LCA) combined with a growth modeling. We identified distinct classification of social support students receive and decided to choose four latent classes consisting of the subgroups: no support, teacher support, double support from parents and peers, and full support from parents, teachers and peers. The results indicate that the female students are less likely to get teacher support and the full support at grade 7. Also, the findings suggest students with more educated parents are more likely to be classified into subgroups in which the parents support is. Compared to other groups (the 'teacher support' group, the 'double support' group, and the 'full support' group), students with no support at grade 7 have a lower level of mathematics performance. Subsequently, those students have a lower growth rate of mathematics scores in the next five years, even after controlling the covariates like gender, race, the level of parents' education, and parents' occupation. The impact on mathematics performance and its growth differs by different patterns of social support. Our findings underscore that differential exposure to social support in middle school years plays a significant role on students' future mathematics achievement.

This volume gathers together twenty major chapters that tackle a variety of issues associated with equity in mathematics education along the dimensions of gender, culture, curriculum diversity, and matters of a biological nature. The pursuit of equity in mathematics education is an important concern in the history of the present. Since there is no doubt about the significant role of mathematics in almost every aspect of life, it means that all individuals regardless of sex, in any age range, and in whatever context need to be provided with an opportunity to become mathematically able. The publication of this Springer volume on equity in mathematics education is situated at a time when there is strong and sustained research evidence indicating the persistence of an equity gap in mathematics, which has now enabled the mathematics education community to engage in a discourse of access for all. The research studies that are reported and discussed in the volume have been drawn from an international group of distinguished scholars whose impressive, forward-looking, and thought-provoking perspectives on relevant issues incite, broaden, and expand complicated conversations on how we might effectively achieve equity in mathematics education at the local, institutional, and systemic levels. Further, the up-to-date research knowledge in the field that is reflected in this volume provides conceptual and practical outlines for mechanisms of change, including models, examples, and usable theories that can inform the development of powerful equitable practices and the mobilization of meaningful equity interventions in different contexts of mathematics education.
