Despite ongoing initiatives and research efforts, the persistent underrepresentation of marginalized groups in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) disciplines in the U.S. has seen little improvement. This study posits that a fundamental change in teacher preparation can lead to more inclusive STEM learning environments. It centers on the development...
Twenty-seven male college football linemen from the Oregon State
University football team served as subjects for the study to determine
which variables in strength and power would be best suited for use in
regression analysis with tibial nerve conduction velocity (TNCV). The
purpose of the investigation was to determine whether...
Six male college long jumpers volunteered as subjects
to determine the kinematic differences between depth jumps
from 0.75 m and 1.10 m, and long jump take-off. The variables
examined were approach and take-off vertical, horizontal
and resultant velocities with contact time and
angles of take-off.
Subjects undertook six depth jump...
The purposes of the study were to determine the relationship which existed between higher cognitive level question wait-time range and student achievement, and whether students perceived biology student teachers who used a 1-4 second wait-time range as being either more or less effective than biology student teachers who used a...
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the
effectiveness of a 6-week strength training program consisting of
squat and plyometric exercises on vertical power jump performance,

The purpose of this study was to develop an instrument to provide valid and
reliable measures of misconceptions in the area of photosynthesis and respiration
among fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students in Thailand. A 17-item, two-tier
multiple-choice test was developed and validated using construct-related evidence to
determine the appropriateness...
Intercollegiate wrestling at Oregon State University had its
inception on March 20, 1909. On that day, the Oregon Agricultural
College wrestling team wrestled in a home meet against the team
from Washington State College. The Beavers, under the tutelage of
their first coach Eddie O'Connell, won their first intercollegiate meet,...
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of power weight training and conventional weight training on forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in one second in college males. Sixteen college males were employed as the two experimental groups: seven subjects for a power weight training experimental...
Seventy-six competitive swimmers from eight swimming
teams were surveyed about swimmer's shoulder symptoms over
the past year, then were placed into symptomatic levels:
nonsymptomatic and symptomatic with the symptomatic sample
divided into moderately and highly symptomatc levels.
Swimmers were videotaped to evaluate maximum body
roll and the simultaneous angle of...
