"Identity in the making" in an adolescent new media maker experience : the role of interest, figured worlds, and use of authentic tools and practices

Creator:: Wyld, Jennifer N.
Abstract:: Human development researchers consider adolescence a rich time for interest development and identity exploration. A relatively new movement in the Free-Choice Learning (FCL) arena, the Maker movement, offers learners interest-driven, experiential, often collaborative, and process-oriented activities ranging from game design (computer-based and otherwise) and robotics, to sewing LEDs into clothing...

Exploring the foundations of science interest development in early childhood

Creator:: Pattison, Scott A.
Abstract:: There is growing evidence that children develop science-related interests in early childhood, before they enter school, and that these interests may have long-term implications for science participation and achievement. Although researchers have made headway in describing interest development in the preschool years, little is currently known about the proximal processes...

Are Families Talking about Conservation at Live Animal Exhibits? Analyzing Family and Professional Conservation Discourse

Creator:: Rowe, Susan Roberta M.
Abstract:: Zoos, aquariums and other free-choice/informal education settings offer the public opportunities to interact with live animals in exhibits through animal encounters and/or touch experiences designed to carry a conservation mission. Many of these institutions are accredited by the American Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and the World Association of...

“Maybe I was Always a Feminist”: Resistance Narratives of Women of Color on Community College STEM Education Pathways

Creator:: Choi, Yoon Ha
Abstract:: The persistent underrepresentation and marginalization of women of color in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are well-documented. However, much of the existing literature takes an “either/or” approach, focusing solely on the experiences of either “women” or “minorities” in STEM, without adequately examining the unique experiences of...

Biophysical basis of macromolecular assembly in the dynein cargo attachment complex

Creator:: Hall, Justin Daniel
Abstract:: Cytoplasmic dynein is an ATP-dependent, microtubule-based molecular motor involved in the positioning and trafficking of cellular cargo. The cargo binding sub-domain of dynein contains the natively disordered intermediate chain (IC) and the homodimeric light chains (Tctex1, LC8 and LC7). The structure and stoichiometry of this complex, how the light chains...

Crossing the Cartesian divide : an investigation into the role of emotion in science learning

Creator:: Staus, Nancy L.
Abstract:: Although many science educators and researchers believe that emotion is an important part of the learning process, few researchers have dealt with the topic in a systematic fashion. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of emotion in the learning process, particularly in the learning of science...

An exploration of an out-of-school garden program : a case study of youth [adolescents'] perceptions

Creator:: Bailey, Deborah L.
Abstract:: Garden-based learning (GBL) with young people has long been viewed as an educational experience capable of teaching numerous types of science content including general science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), as well as discipline specific areas such as biology, horticulture, agriculture and nutrition. However, much of the GBL literature focuses...

Fostering relevance in introductory biology courses : an empirical study of the effects of a socio-scientific issues-based course on student motivation through the lens of self-determination theory

Creator:: Hewitt, Krissi M.
Abstract:: There has been a rapid increase in technological advances in the biological sciences that has contributed to an increase in societal issues that require attention from both scientists and citizens. Consequently, there is a need for the development of biologically literate citizens who have the ability to use their knowledge...

Regulation by male-specific fruitless of neural circuitry used during courtship and copulation behavior in Drosophila melanogaster

Creator:: Latham, Kristin Lynn
Abstract:: Courtship and copulation behaviors in Drosophila melanogaster males are regulated by sex-specific products from the gene fruitless (fru). Male-specific FRU proteins (FRU[superscript M]) are putative transcription factors of the BTB-ZnF family that likely act by controlling development and maintenance of the neural circuitry used during male sexual behavior. However, which...
