Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

12.8K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Growth versus Fixed Mindset

97
Carol Dweck introduced the term mindset to describe individuals' beliefs about their intellectual and personal capabilities. These beliefs significantly influence psychological processes such as motivation, goal-setting, and perseverance, ultimately shaping academic and life outcomes. Individuals generally possess one of two mindsets- a fixed or a growth mindset—each promoting different responses to success, failure, and challenge.Fixed vs. Growth MindsetA fixed mindset assumes that one's...

Exponential Equations for Modeling Growth02:33

Exponential Equations for Modeling Growth

62
Exponential models are essential for describing rapid, multiplicative changes in natural systems, such as population growth. When a population doubles at regular intervals, the process can be modeled using a suitable base. For instance, a bacterial culture that doubles every three hours follows the model n(t)=n0⋅2t/3, where n(t) is the population at the time t.A more general model uses the natural base e, especially for continuous growth. This takes the form n(t)=n0⋅ert, where r is...

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell01:06

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

4.0K
A hair follicle or HF is a small part of the skin that produces the hair shaft. Paul Gerson Unna was the first to observe a bulge in the human hair follicle's outer root sheath (ORS). The bulge is present between the sebaceous gland and the arrector pili muscle and is the niche for hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). The bulge is also a niche for melanocyte stem cells, and their loss results in graying of hair. The HFSCs express Sox9 and Lhx2, which help them maintain stemness and prevent...

Area of Science:

  • STEM Education
  • Undergraduate Research
  • Minority Participation in STEM

Background:

  • Underrepresentation of minorities in STEM careers, especially those requiring graduate degrees, is linked to low persistence and limited research experience.
  • Academic support programs are crucial for enhancing student success and persistence in science majors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the Program for Excellence in Education and Research in the Sciences (PEERS) at UCLA.
  • To determine PEERS' impact on undergraduate research participation and graduate school enrollment for underrepresented science majors.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from UCLA registrar records, student surveys, and longitudinal tracking.
  • Employed propensity-matched controls for comparison.
  • Analyzed student outcomes related to academic success and career trajectories.

Main Results:

  • PEERS students demonstrated significantly higher undergraduate research participation rates, despite the program lacking a formal research component.
  • PEERS students were seven times more likely to enroll in PhD programs and twice as likely to enroll in MD programs compared to controls.
  • Early academic success within the PEERS program correlated with improved later undergraduate outcomes and educational trajectories.

Conclusions:

  • The PEERS program effectively enhances the success and persistence of underrepresented science majors.
  • PEERS has a tangible impact on increasing the participation of underrepresented groups in high-skill STEM careers.
  • Academic support programs can significantly influence long-term educational and career pathways in STEM.
