The Proof Is In The Pudding – Using Perceived Stress To Measure Short-Term Impact In Initiatives To Enhance Gender Balance In Computing Education, Alina Berry, Sarah Jane Delany

Academic Posters Collection

The problem of gender imbalance in computing higher education has forced academics and professionals to implement a wide range of initiatives. Many initiatives use recruitment or retention numbers as their most obvious evidence of impact. This type of evidence of impact is, however, more resource heavy to obtain, as well as often requires a longitudinal approach. There are many shorter term initiatives that use other ways to measure their success.

First, this poster presents with a review of existing evaluation measures in interventions to recruit and retain women in computing education across the board. Three main groups of evaluation come …

Engineering Design Process- Creating A Safe Passage For Sea Turtles, Chassity Miller

STEM Teacher Leaders in Action

In this lesson, students are working collaboratively to create a prototype for a safe passage to cross the road safely.

Students share their discovery with materials of how they created their prototype to create the safe passage for turtles. In this prototype, many have discovered how it can help other animals

Prior to doing this lesson, students did a PBL lesson on the effects of litter on the endangerment of sea turtles in our area. After doing the virtual field trip at the Georgia Sea Turtle Hospital, students will create a safe passage for sea turtles using the engineering design …

Calculate The Pattern, Danielle Felicien

STEM Teacher Leaders in Action

Third grade math students demonstrated their mathematical understanding and critical thinking skills by engaging in conversations about patterns and by actively exploring, analyzing, and making connections within patterns.

High-leverage math routines and pattern exploration engaged students in mathematical thinking and fostered their ability to recognize, describe, extend, and make predictions based on patterns.

Summary Of Effects: Impact Of Intersect On Student Math Achievement And Teacher Perceptions, Natalie Wright

STEM Research

This summary of project evaluation findings was presented to the InTERSECT team and DCPS leaders in February 2023 as a supplement to the Year 2 Summative Evaluation Report. The evaluation examined effects of Project InTERSECT on Cohorts 1 and 2, including student mathematics achievement and teacher perceptions. The project has had significant impacts on students’ mathematics achievement. Compared to a business-as-usual group (which was matched to the treatment group based on pretest scores, demographics, and grade level), students in Project InTERSECT classrooms performed significantly higher on iReady Math assessments. Treatment effects were particularly large for kindergarten (Hedges’ g = .34) …

Actividad 3: Ayudándote A Crecer, Patrick Young

Tema 4: Por favor, pásame la sal

Es necesario quitar la nieve y el hielo en invierno para que las carreteras sean seguras. La sal, junto con otros productos químicos, es muy eficaz para hacerlo, pero estos pueden ocasionarle daño las plantas, a la vida silvestre y a los seres humanos. La sal se filtra al agua subterránea y puede ocasionar problemas con los suministros de agua. Los niveles elevados de sal afectan la cantidad de oxígeno en el agua, el crecimiento de los organismos, la reproducción y las fuentes de alimentos. La posibilidad de que las sustancias químicas le ocasionen daño a un organismo depende de …

Actividad 3: ¡Advertencia!, Patrick Young

Tema 5: ¿Por qué la gallina cruzó la calle?

En un ciclo de ingeniería y diseño se producen múltiples repeticiones de diseño. Esto es así desde el inicio de la idea hasta la instalación de una estructura de paso para animales. En el diseño hay que tener en cuenta más factores que los mencionados anteriormente, como la temperatura, las precipitaciones, el tráfico de vehículos, el ruido y los gases de escape de los vehículos.
