概括
社区学院为科学,技术,工程和数学 (STEM) 学生提供支持计划,增加了入门课程和学位完成的坚持. 该计划提供辅导,咨询和专门的学习空间.
科学领域:
- 教育教育教育教育教育教育.
- 在STEM教育方面.
背景情况:
- 本科科学,技术,工程和数学 (STEM) 学生,特别是社区学院的学生,经常因为关键的"入口"课程的困难而离开STEM途径.
- 与大学生相比,社区学院的学生在STEM方面表现出更高的退学率.
研究的目的:
- 评估综合支持计划对STEM学生在社区学院的坚持和成功的影响.
- 测试该假设,即项目参与与提高学生在STEM课程的成绩和整体大学留学率有关.
主要方法:
- 一个自选支持计划实施了七年,提供支持人员,一个STEM学习室与同行导师,教师顾问,和转移援助.
- 分析了机构数据,以比较程序参与者的学术成功率和持久率 (n=415) 与匹配的非程序学生群体.
- 关键指标包括STEM课程的平均成绩 (GPA),季度持续性和通过STEM门户课程序列的进展.
主要成果:
- 与非参与者 (2.76) 相比,计划参与者在顶级STEM入学课程中获得了更高的平均GPA (2.89).
- 课程学生 (87%) 与非课程学生 (67%) 的季度持续性显著更高.
- 该计划的学生在通过STEM门户课程的概率提高了1.2倍至3.5倍,控制了以前的GPA,并且即使在早期的学术挫折后也表现出更好的坚持.
结论:
- 一个结构化的支持计划显著提高了STEM学生在社区学院的坚持和成功.
- 提供全面支持的干预措施,包括学术和咨询资源,对于留住学生在关键的STEM阶段至关重要.
- 支持学生通过早期的学术挑战,特别是基础数学和化学课程,对于实现长期的STEM途径完成至关重要.

Stem Cell Culture

Stem cell research aims to find ways to use stem cells to regenerate and repair cellular damage. Over time, most adult cells undergo the wear and tear of aging and lose their ability to divide and repair themselves. Stem cells do not display a particular morphology or function. Adult stem cells, which exist as a small subset of cells in most tissues, keep dividing and can differentiate into a number of specialized cells generally formed by that tissue. These cells enable the body to renew and...

Community Based Intervention

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell
3.7K
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...

Stem Cell Niche
5.2K
The stem cell niche is the dynamic microenvironment where stem cells reside. Inside these niches, the cells may remain undifferentiated, undergo high self-renewal, or become lineage-specific progenitors. Stem cells coexist with other niche cells, such as stromal cells. They also interact closely with the ECM. Cell-cell and cell-matrix communication occur via adhesion molecules or soluble factors that signal the stem cells and determine their fate. Stromal cells also provide survival signals to...

Source And Potency Of Stem Cells
4.9K
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with extensive self-renewal properties that help them maintain their population during the fetal and adult stages of life. They can specialize in all cell types of the human body. However, their differential potential may vary and can be classified into five types. Stem cells can be (1) Totipotent, (2) Pluripotent, (3) Multipotent, (4) Oligopotent, and (5) Unipotent. Each stem cell has a specific origin; the fertilized egg or zygote is a totipotent cell and...
