Interactive Effects in the Theory of Planned Behavior: Examining Attitudes, Norms, Control, and Stereotype Threat to Predict Girls' Math Performance and Intentions
Bettina CasadBettina Casad
California State Polytechnic University, Pomona
This webinar will discuss the role of stereotype threat in girls' performance in STEM disciplines. The presentation will review research on stereotype threat and provide evidence for why STEM educators should consider this phenomenon in their classrooms and educational practices. Findings from a study with eighth grade Algebra students who participated in an experiment on stereotype threat will be highlighted. The presentation will conclude with a discussion on how educators can help eliminate stereotype threat and its negative influence on girls' performance in STEM disciplines.
