The present study explored relationships between social network position, SRL, and academic achievement among biomedical engineering (BME) students.
A cohort of undergraduate students (n = 107) entering their first year in the BME major participated in an online survey that asked about their demographic information, mentorship-based social capital,...
Previous research has examined the relationship between stereotypical gender roles and creativity. However, few studies have examined how masculinity and femininity influence women’s creativity, and particularly when their creative effort was not well received. To understand the relationship between gender roles and different types of creativity fo...
This article provides an overview of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medical sciences (STEMM) talent development from first exposure to a STEMM domain to achieving eminence and innovation. To this end, a resource‐oriented model of STEMM talent development is proposed as a framework. It includes a three‐stage phase model based on...
Students may be members of multiple disadvantaged groups whose negative effects may reinforce each other (intersectionality). In two studies dealing with elementary students' literacy skills, we examine one negative reinforcing effect and one dampening effect of intersectionality. In Study 1, we tested the negative social resonance effect of inters...
Mentoring is a highly individualized educational measure that can support youth development in communities, schools, and talent domains. Depending on the target population, goals, structure, and medium, mentoring for youths can differ considerably. This article first reviews the main types of mentoring programs and practices for youth development i...
In the present day, we need outstanding scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and medical science researchers more than ever to solve the world's most pressing issues, such as climate change, water contamination, and cyber security. Naturally, we ask the question: What does it take to develop eminence in science, technology, engineering, mathemati...
The purpose of this study was to determine how graphic organizer completeness (complete, partial, or no organizer) and note-taking medium (longhand or computer) affect note-taking quantity and quality and affect computer-based learning. College students were presented with a computer-based PowerPoint lesson accompanied by complete, partial, or no g...
Background
Women are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professions. Even the most promising female students’ interest in STEM subjects often decreases during secondary school. Using the framework of the Social Cognitive Career Theory, the present study examined the influences of social agents in female stu...
Students are distracted by mobile technology in the classroom when learning from lectures and outside the classroom when studying. Students are susceptible to distractions because they are not fully engaged in learning. In the classroom, they record notes mindlessly that capture just one-third of important lesson ideas. When they study outside the...
Talent development research has uncovered common conditions for nurturing talented individuals: enriched early environment, appropriate instruction, long-term and deliberate practice, singleness of purpose, and centers of excellence. Talent research also reveals that parents play a critical role in arranging and facilitating these conditions and he...
This study explores factors enhancing the likelihood that three demographically disadvantaged groups of selective science high school graduates would complete a university STEM degree 4–6 years later. The target groups are labeled as disadvantaged in terms of STEM pipeline persistence compared to school peers, and include: (1) women, (2) those with...
Synthesis writing is a common college requirement. It is a reading-to-write task that involves selecting, organizing, and connecting information from more than one source to construct a new text. College students struggle with synthesis writing because they fail to organize and connect ideas. The present study investigated the synthesis writing ben...

The Global Talent Mentoring Hub (GTMH) is a large-scale research-based mentoring program for outstanding youth in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Its goal is to develop STEM excellence by connecting talented students with the world’s leading STEM experts through long-term one-on-one and group mentoring. One unique feature...
There has been a shift in college classrooms from students recording lecture notes using a longhand pencil-paper medium to using laptops. The present study investigated whether note-taking medium (laptop, longhand) influenced note taking and achievement when notes were recorded but not reviewed (note taking’s process function) and when notes were r...
Presentation at the 11th Annual UNM Mentoring Institute’s Conference, Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Growing up with a parent working in a STEM field and having a STEM mentor enhance the likelihood of completing a university STEM degree (Almarode et al., 2014; Subotnik, Tai, Almarode, & Crowe, 2013). The current study explores whether mentors serve an outsized role for retaining students who do not have a parent in STEM, and which categories of me...
This study investigated the impact of a summer institute with follow-up coaching (treatment) versus no professional development (control) on middle and high school teacher and student science practice outcomes. Treatment teachers participated in a 2-week summer institute that used evidence-based professional development practices followed by remote...
Previous research (Kiewra & Creswell, Educational Psychology Review 12(1):135–161, 2000; Patterson-Hazley & Kiewra, Educational Psychology Review 25(1):19–45, 2013) has investigated the characteristics and work habits of highly productive educational psychologists. These investigations have focused exclusively on American scholars who were trained...
Synthesis writing is a common requirement in secondary schools and colleges, but it is often done ineffectively because students fail to engage the critical processes of selecting, organizing, and connecting information, which are the crux of synthesis writing. Therefore, it is imperative to teach students synthesis writing strategies. The present...
Relatively little is known about the conditions under which online-mentoring programs are particularly effective. One aspect that seems to influence mentoring effectiveness is whether discussions between mentors and mentees remain focused on relevant program topics (Parra, DuBois, Neville, Pugh-Lilly, & Povinelli, 2002). So far in most studies, sel...
In the past three decades, several studies have found an achievement advantage for studying graphic organizers such as a hierarchy or matrix over studying linear displays such as a text or outline (e.g., Dye, 2000; Guri-Rosenblit, 1989; Kauffman & Kiewra, 2010). However, little was learned about how students study graphic organizers and the cogniti...
Note taking has been categorized as a two-stage process: the recording of notes and the review of notes. We contend that note taking might best involve a three-stage process where the missing stage is revision. This study investigated the benefits of revising lecture notes and addressed two questions: First, is revision more effective than non-revi...
This study investigated the achievement benefits of studying different forms of verbal displays and explored how students study these displays using eye-tracking technology. Sixty-eight college students were assigned randomly to one of four display groups: text, outline, simple matrix, and signaled matrix. One at a time, students wearing an eye-tra...
A problem of illustrating simultaneous superiority of a certain treatment over three (or more) controls in terms of binomial proportions is considered. Applications of nine large sample intersection–union tests are discussed. The tests include the Min tests based on Wald, pooled, and Falk and Koch (199810.
