SUMMARY:Understanding Educational Pathways from Community Colleges to Four-Year Universities
DESCRIPTION:
 In this presentation, "Broadening Participation 
 Among Women and Minorities in Science, 
 Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics: Understanding 
 Educational Pathways from Community 
 Colleges to Four-Year Universities", 
 Dr. Soko Starobin (Iowa State U) will share results 
 from Iowa survey study that used her own 
 instrument (212 items organized with 67 questions) 
 known as: STEM Student Success Literacy 
 (SSSL) survey. SSSL survey measures community 
 college students' self-efficacy, social 
 capital, and transfer knowledge that help students 
 to successfully and seamlessly transfer 
 from a community college to a four-year university 
 in STEM fields. This study explores how 
 institutions of higher education directly and 
 indirectly create a learning environment that 
 promotes the success of women and minorities. 
 In this presentation, Starobin will focus 
 on key factors that help traditionally underrepresented 
 students and show the level of literacy 
 of community college students regarding 
 their transfer readiness for obtaining a baccalaureate 
 degree in STEM fields.\n\n
