The Effect Of Robotics On Test Scores And Involvement In Stem Fields, Nicole Costa
The Effect Of Robotics On Test Scores And Involvement In Stem Fields, Nicole Costa
Undergraduate Research
There is an under-representation of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields that influences society’s perception of women’s abilities in mathematics and science. This study researches the implications of participation in robotics on girls’ achievement and perceptions. Specifically studying the population at the high school of Mount Saint Joseph Academy, it searches for a correlation between membership on the Firebirds Robotics Team and higher GPA scores, SAT scores, and likelihood of having a major in STEM. Data was collected on robotics and non-robotics alumni by using a survey. Various significance tests including t-tests, signed rank tests, and paired …

Cognitive Empathy In Preschool-Aged Children, Kimberlee V. Holness, Diana Montague
Undergraduate Research
Empathy has both both affective and cognitive features. Affective empathy relates to coming to “feel” how another person is feeling; cognitive empathy relates to “knowing” another person’s internal state including their thoughts and feelings. Previous research (e.g., Strayer & Roberts, 1989) revealed evidence of affective empathy and cognitive empathy in older but not younger children. Montague and Ulmer (2014) suggested that the stimulus presentations used in prior studies may not have been valid for use with young children. To this end, they created video presentations of preschool-aged children to use as stimulus presentations. Using these, they found that preschool-aged children …

Undergraduate Research
The education system in Philadelphia is a failed system. One of the tools to quantify the failure is the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) test results. Other measurements, such as SAT scores and graduation rates, also indicate that the education system is failing. After examining the results of these quantifying processes, the historical relationships that the School District has with various levels of government, and the mismanagement of resources in the district, it becomes clear that one of the major issues harming the quality of education in Philadelphia is the lack of funding.

Influence Of Robotics On Women In Stem, Nicole Costa
Undergraduate Research
There is an underrepresentation of women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields that influences society’s perception of women’s abilities in math and science. This study researches the implications of robotics on girls’ achievement abilities. Specifically studying the population at the high school of Mount Saint Joseph Academy, it searches for a correlation between members of the Firebirds Robotics Team and higher GPA scores, SAT scores, and percentages of having a major in STEM compared to students not on the team. Data was collected on the control group (non-robotics students) and experimental group (robotics students) using a survey. Analysis …
