Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Qualitative Research in STEM examines the groundbreaking potential of qualitative research methods to address issues of social justice, equity, and sustainability in STEM. A collection of empirical studies conducted by prominent STEM researchers, this book examines the experiences and challenges faced by traditionally marginalized groups in STEM, most notably culturally and linguistically diverse students and women. Investigations into these issues, as well as the high dropout rate among engineering students and issues of academic integrity in STEM, come with detailed explanations of the study methodologies used in each case. Contributors also provide personal narratives that share their perspectives on the benefits of qualitative research methodologies for the topics explored. Through a variety of qualitative methodologies, including participatory action research, Indigenous research, and critical ethnography, this volume aims to reveal and remedy the inequalities within STEM education today.

Book excerpt: This doctoral-level qualitative research study was conducted to discover what strategies and techniques 10 community college teachers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics believe are useful for teaching critical thinking skills. This dissertation research was also conducted to discover what obstacles the participating teachers face in attempting to teach critical thinking skills in their classrooms. The research was conducted using a basic qualitative research design that employed interviews to uncover and illuminate the instructional experiences of community college teachers currently teaching in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Participants were asked what techniques they find useful or not useful, what obstacles teachers face, and what supports are available for teachers to teach critical thinking. Interview transcripts were analyzed using a constant comparative method to determine common themes. Findings of the study included descriptions of modeling critical thinking skills, allowing students to practice using the skills, and assessing the critical thinking skills using a skills-based assessment. The described useful practices also included the requirement of analysis throughout, including analysis of data, analysis of process, and analysis of thinking. The most significant obstacles for teachers in community college STEM courses were found to be support and pedagogical education. Further research is needed to discover what teachers at other educational levels are doing to teach critical thinking, and to discover how to support and provide professional development for community college STEM teachers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early days of 2020, a COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the global social framework. The pandemic had a negative impact on academia, particularly for women and women of color in STEM disciplines. The current study is a qualitative exploration of identified issues of inequity and the effect the pandemic had on STEM women and women of color as they transitioned from working on university and college campuses to working remotely from home. The pandemic not only impacted the academic community but also had direct ramifications for qualitative researchers attempting to conduct research projects in the pandemic environment. This case study delves into the complexity of conducting qualitative research in a pandemic where the participants and the methods are heavily compromised by the necessary safety measures. This case study looks at the ideal state of conducting qualitative research on gender inequity for STEM women teaching faculty and researchers during the pandemic and contrasts that ideal state with the real state that threatened to derail the research process. Institutional Review Board safety measures are explained, and the necessary redesign of the project is detailed. Furthermore, data collection problems and solutions are offered. What is important to remember is that the pandemic environment posed problems for all researchers, and this environment was new to everyone. What was learned within the pandemic environment must be built upon for the advancement of research in a postpandemic world and in preparation should a similar event occur in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education in pre-college, engineering is not the silent "e" anymore. There is an accelerated interest in teaching engineering in all grade levels. Structured engineering programs are emerging in schools as well as in out-of-school settings. Over the last ten years, the number of states in the US including engineering in their K-12 standards has tripled, and this trend will continue to grow with the adoption of the Next Generation Science Standards. The interest in pre-college engineering education stems from three different motivations. First, from a workforce pipeline or pathway perspective, researchers and practitioners are interested in understanding precursors, influential and motivational factors, and the progression of engineering thinking. Second, from a general societal perspective, technological literacy and understanding of the role of engineering and technology is becoming increasingly important for the general populace, and it is more imperative to foster this understanding from a younger age. Third, from a STEM integration and education perspective, engineering processes are used as a context to teach science and math concepts. This book addresses each of these motivations and the diverse means used to engage with them.Designed to be a source of background and inspiration for researchers and practitioners alike, this volume includes contributions on policy, synthesis studies, and research studies to catalyze and inform current efforts to improve pre-college engineering education. The book explores teacher learning and practices, as well as how student learning occurs in both formal settings, such as classrooms, and informal settings, such as homes and museums. This volume also includes chapters on assessing design and creativity.

Book excerpt: Understanding Girls: Quantitative and Qualitative Research is a retrospective of the author’s research that led to receiving the 2013 Distinguished Contributions Award to Science Education through Research. This book includes selected articles that document changes in her research approaches and theoretical frameworks. The articles represent the evolution of her thinking about the issue of girls in science as well as her impact on science education. The author’s work is placed in the context of science education research at the time of publication, research in education and psychology, and the culture of the times. She pulls back the curtain that often makes the messy work of research seem straightforward and linear to reveal why she did the research and the methodological decisions she faced. She describes the serendipitous nature of some of the work as well as her frustrations in trying to understand data, and struggles to insure that she accurately and respectfully presented the voices of girls and their teachers. The book also includes some of the earliest research in engineering education preceding the focus on engineering practices found in the Next Generation Science and Engineering Standards. Understanding Girls provides insights into why girls may or may not decide to participate in science and engineering and what can be done to increase their participation. It provides evidence that we have increased girls’ participation and the challenges that remain to insure that every girl who wants to become a scientist or engineer has the opportunity to do so.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical qualitative research informs social education through a lens that ensures the investigation of issues in education tied to power and privilege, ultimately leading to advocacy and activism. The concept of critical is increasingly challenged in this age of neoliberal reform; nevertheless, critical implies questioning, investigating and challenging in terms of equity and social justice, leading to critical consciousness (Freire, 1970). While we resist defining social education, as hopefully these ideas / concepts are fluid, the idea stems from a continual analysis and synthesis of critical theory/ critical pedagogy, media and cultural studies, social reconstruction / social justice, and social studies education framed by culturally responsive pedagogy. A social education take on critical qualitative research thus suggests multiple truths and perspectives and focuses on questions rather than answers. While many have written on qualitative educational research and some have attempted to integrate critical pedagogy and qualitative research, few have explored the specific idea of social education and critical qualitative research. A major issue is that social education claims that there are no set procedures, scripted approaches, or narrow definitions as to the possibilities of research endeavors. Social education researchers make the process and investigation their own and adapt questions, procedures, methods, and strategies throughout the experience. This reflects an ever changing criticality in the bricolage of the research (Steinberg, 2011). Critical qualitative research and social education are vital for the world of the 21st century. The onslaught of neoliberalism, corporatization, standardization, testing, and the continuing attack on public schools and educators necessitate critical approaches to teaching and learning along with critical qualitative research in social education. Ongoing issues with equity and social justice tied to race, ethnicity, class, orientation, age, and ability linking to schooling, education, teaching and learning must be addressed. The struggle between unbridled capitalism and democracy warrant these investigations in the 21st century, hopefully leading to advocacy and activism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do education researchers navigate the qualitative research process? How do they manage and negotiate myriad decision points at which things can take an unexpected – and sometimes problematic – turn? Whilst these questions are relevant for any research process, the specific issues qualitative researchers face can have impactful repercussions, that if managed adeptly, can lead to successful and even new research opportunities. Navigating Challenges in Qualitative Educational Research includes narratives that provide real world experiences and accounts of how researchers navigated problematic situations, as well as their considerations in doing so. These contributions give students and researchers a chance to understand the possibilities of research challenges and better prepare for these eventualities and how to deal with them. Providing educative windows into the challenges and missteps even seasoned researchers face along the way, this book is an invaluable resource for graduate students and early career qualitative researchers, particularly those who are interested in education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This engaging introduction to all aspects of qualitative research challenges students to consider how their research can be culturally responsive. The first part of the book introduces the foundations including theory, ethics, and reflexivity, with an emphasis on multiple methodologies, from traditional to critical and cutting-edge. The second part covers practical guidance from writing proposals to data collection, and includes a chapter dedicated to creating a culturally responsive relationship with research participants. Finally, readers engage with how the quality of research is enhanced, how data are analyzed, and how research accounts are created and disseminated. Areas vital to the health of qualitative research are addressed including systemic racism and cultural humility, with cutting-edge suggestions offered in areas like hybrid research, harnessing technology, and use of social media. Multiple identities are centered in examples throughout including race, gender, and those who are hard to reach or seldom heard in research. Textboxes featuring scholars, student researchers, and community members invite readers into dialogue in an area that is contested, swiftly shifting, and always vibrant with potential.
