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...

"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...

Heterotrophic bacteria associated with a feed algae for oyster larvae

Creator:: Johnson, Lynn I.
Abstract:: Aerobic heterotrophic bacteria associated with oyster larvae feed algae Isochrysis galbana, Monochrysis lutheri and Pseudoisochrysis paradoxa were isolated and enumerated. The bacterial numbers ranged from 7.8x10³ to 3.9x10⁶ CFU per ml. The bacteria associated with Pseudoisochrysis sp. were identified and the majority of isolates belonged to genera Leucothrix (51%). Also...

Becoming birds: community scientists, place, and critical socio-ecoliteracy

Creator:: Wicks, Teresa O.
Abstract:: Community science (also called citizen science) has become an increasingly popular data collection technique for scientists researching nature at a large scale. Many ecologists have also looked to community science as a method for educating the public about science. Over the past several decades, researchers have attempted to define an...

“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...

Defining one’s role in citizen science: an exploration of the roles, perceptions and outcomes of participation in citizen science activities

Creator:: Clarke, Karl
Abstract:: Citizen science (formally public participation in science research) has emerged in recent years as an innovative and interactive tool for engaging many diverse groups in science and research. Defined as the collaboration of science professionals and the public in science research, citizen science has tremendously improved the reach of science....

Evaluation of effectiveness of Rhizobium trifolii strains for Trifolium subterraneum L. (subterranean clover) in southwestern Oregon soils

Creator:: Kibbey, Heather Jean
Abstract:: Twelve high effective Rhizobium trifolii strains were evaluated at four locations in southwest Oregon for the ability to effectively nodulate Mount Barker subterranean clover. All twelve strains possessed antibiotic resistance markers to facilitate identification of strains when extracted from nodules. No significant differences in plant dry weight means could be...
