Facilitating and Interpreting High School Students’ Identity Exploration Trajectories in STEM

A Systematic Literature Review of Empirical Research on Epistemic Network Analysis in Education

“…The remaining articles ranged from a single coder to nine coders. The manual coding was supported with software tools in 19 articles (25%), for example, ncoder automatic coding [26], [45], [47], [49], [73], [82], MAXQDA 2018 [84], [90]- [92] and NVivo [67], [104], automated coding algorithm [48], [77], Python [44], and linguistic tools (LIWC and Coh-Metrix) [59].…”

“…Coding of data extracted from online log data was used in eight articles (10.5%) in the form of game-logged data [45], [89]- [92], students' actions in LMS log files [24], [93] and teacher's online logs [94].…”

“…Temporal progress was compared in 19 studies (25%), for example, to identify progress throughout the course [13], [79], [84], [90]- [92], students' epistemic frames after course completion [14], [20], [21], [64], [81], [87] and students' progress throughout different game levels [26], [45], [71], [89].…”

Decline Is Not Inevitable: Changes in Science Identity during the Progression through a U.S. Middle School among Boys and Girls

“…Similarly, the examples of science applied to real world issues vary in how relevant they are to the lives of different youth (Bang, Medin, and Cajete 2009; Blanchard Kyte and Riegle-Crumb 2017; Washington and Mondisa 2021). Youth are more likely to develop science identities if they perceive science as enjoyable and relevant to their lives (Shah et al 2021).…”

“…On average, high school girls elect to take fewer advanced courses in science than boys (Gottfried et al 2017; Riegle-Crumb, Farkas, and Muller 2006). Undergraduate women are less likely than men to select science courses or to choose science majors and programs (Green and Sanderson 2018; Robinson et al 2019; Shah et al 2021). Even though women tend to have higher grades than men, fewer women complete undergraduate or graduate-level science degrees (Hazari et al 2013; Weeden and Cornwell 2020).…”
