At the same time, a poor retention rate among this group is prompting STEM educators to explore different ways to better meet the needs of a changing student body.<\/p>\n<p>Eastern Mennonite University is no exception. More than 30 percent of incoming freshman STEM majors are minority students. But after two years, around 7 in 10 of these incoming students are no longer pursuing a STEM major. These statistics are similar to those reported by universities across the country.<\/p>\n<p>Over the next three years, the university will work to improve its retention rate of minority students in STEM programs, using a recently awarded $300,000 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to improve instructional techniques in the classroom and laboratory.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"highlight highlight-right\">Read more about NSF&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencemag.org\/news\/2016\/02\/nsf-launches-long-awaited-diversity-initiative\">diversity initiatives. <\/a><\/aside>\n<h3>New academic language and culture can be a barrier<\/h3>\n<p>Ayu Yifru, a sophomore <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emu.edu\/biology\/\">biology<\/a> major originally from Ethiopia, understands well the challenges that face a growing number of her STEM peers. One of the primary ones is a simple language barrier.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen my friends and I are taking an exam, we\u2019ll get stuck on a particular word that we can\u2019t figure out,\u201d says Yifru, who spoke very little English when she arrived in the United States at 16. \u201cIt\u2019s not easy to master any kind of language \u2026 [And] when we are in class, some of the teachers go pretty fast. Sometimes I get lost, and I have no clue what they\u2019re talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cultural norms can also discourage minority students from asking questions in class or approaching professors for help afterwards. Additionally, many of them are first-generation college students, meaning that their parents may be less familiar with how to navigate the academic and social rigors of college.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[These students] have to adapt to an academic culture and a university culture that their parents couldn\u2019t introduce them to, and on top of that, the STEM culture. It\u2019s like going to a foreign country three times over,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/personnel\/people\/show\/cessnas\">Steve Cessna<\/a>, professor of biochemistry.<\/p>\n<p>Cessna is the principal investigator on the NSF grant, \u201cFaculty-Led Institutional Transformation for Teaching Diverse Learners in STEM.\u201d In addition to STEM faculty, EMU\u2019s education department and the multicultural services office will also participate.<\/p>\n<h3>Multi-faceted grant asks for teaching as research<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30180\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30180\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2016\/10\/professors-collaborate-improve-instructional-skills-stem-classes-thanks-nsf-research-grant\/20160922-physics-lab-engineering-015-1000px\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-30180\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-30180\" src=\"\/\/emu.edu\/now\/is\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/10\/20160922-Physics-Lab-Engineering-015-1000px-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"rofessor Danny King works with a student during a projectile motion lab.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/10\/20160922-Physics-Lab-Engineering-015-1000px-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/10\/20160922-Physics-Lab-Engineering-015-1000px-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2016\/10\/20160922-Physics-Lab-Engineering-015-1000px.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30180\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Professor Danny King works with a student during a projectile motion lab.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The grant includes faculty trainings on bias and ways that teaching methods can better respond to changing student needs, a mentoring program for STEM faculty and improvement of a peer tutoring program for minority and first-generation college students in STEM majors.<\/p>\n<p>Cessna said that a challenging aspect of the grant\u2019s implementation for STEM faculty will be \u201ctreating our own work as small research projects.\u201d That means consulting the literature and experimenting with teaching methods that have been shown to be more effective than the traditional university lecture. While this process is extremely familiar to program faculty in their work as scientists, it\u2019s not an approach that\u2019s often applied to their roles as teachers.<\/p>\n<p>In his first-year &#8220;Chemistry for the Life Sciences&#8221; class, Cessna has begun making changes by decreasing lecture time and scheduling more interactive group work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[The students] are doing more problems together in a more social way. My class is pretty noisy. It\u2019s something that I\u2019m testing out \u2013 it\u2019s based on a good amount of research that I\u2019ve already read that teaching in this way can be effective,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Each Friday, Yifru \u2013 who has signed on as a peer mentor \u2013 is there in the class to tutor and help. She also leads extra study sessions before quizzes and exams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really like helping people who are stuck, because I was once in their shoes. I know how to help them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>As a final component of the grant, EMU will share its findings and conclusions with STEM departments with other universities experiencing similar enrollment trends and challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a 2014 Scientific American blog post championing greater diversity within the sciences, Dr. Kenneth Gibbs Jr. writes that \u201cthe large and persistent under-representation of certain social groups from the <a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2016\/professors-collaborate-improve-instructional-skills-stem-classes-thanks-nsf-research-grant\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"more-link\">... read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">about Professors collaborate to improve instructional methods in STEM classes, thanks to NSF research grant<\/span><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30178,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5725,5590,5592,13808,17562,5594,8845,17364,5643,5598,5600,5601,12579,5603],"tags":[15037,16989,6795,10078,10278,10294],"feature":[17427,17423,17426],"class_list":["post-30176","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-admissions","category-biology","category-chemistry","category-computer-science","category-digest","category-education","category-emu-at-lancaster","category-engineering","category-environmental-sustainability","category-mathematical-sciences","category-nursing","category-physical-education","category-pre-professional-health","category-psychology","tag-daniel-king","tag-daniel-showalter","tag-diversity","tag-lori-leaman","tag-stephen-cessna","tag-tara-kishbaugh","feature-emu-home-page-feature","feature-featured-undergrad","feature-myemu-feature"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
