CIRTL Forum 2005Addressing the Student Learning Experience:
Achieving Diversity in STEM Disciplines
“If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.”
President John F. Kennedy, Commencement Address, American University, June 10, 1963.
Cited in Harlan Cleveland, Nobody in charge: Essays on the future of leadership, Jossey-Bass, 2002.

The great question of this new century is whether the age of interdependence is going to be good or bad for humanity. The answer depends upon whether we in the wealthy nations spread the benefits and reduce the burdens of the modern world, on whether the poor nations enact the changes necessary to make progress possible, and on whether we all can develop a level of consciousness high enough to understand our obligations and responsibilities to each other.

Age of Interdependence
Tom Boyle of British Telecom calls this the age of interdependence; he speaks of the importance of people’s NQ, or network quotient – their capacity to form connections with one another, which, Boyle argues is now more important than IQ, the measure of individual intelligence.

Foundations - John Dewey
John Dewey’s ideal school:•a “thinking” curriculum aimed at deep understanding•cooperative learning within communities of learners•interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary curricula•projects, portfolios, and other “alternative assessments” that challenged students to integrate ideas and demonstrate their capabilities.
Dewey, John. 1915. The school and society, 2nd ed. Chicago: University of Chicago Press.

Small-Group Learning: Meta-analysisSpringer, L., Stanne, M. E., & Donovan, S. 1999. Effects of small-group learning
on undergraduates in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology: A meta-analysis. Review of Educational Research, 69(1), 21-52.
Small-group (predominantly cooperative) learning in postsecondary science, mathematics, engineering, and technology (SMET). 383 reports from 1980 or later, 39 of which met the rigorous inclusion criteria for meta-analysis.
The main effect of small-group learning on achievement, persistence, and attitudes among undergraduates in SMET was significant and positive. Mean effect sizes for achievement, persistence, and attitudes were 0.51, 0.46, and 0.55, respectively.

Shaping the Future: New Expectations for Undergraduate Education in Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology – National Science Foundation, 1996Goal B All students have access to supportive, excellent undergraduate education in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology, and all students learn these subjects by direct experience with the methods and processes of inquiry.
Recommend that SME&T faculty: Believe and affirm that every student can learn, and model good practices that increase learning; starting with the student=s experience, but have high expectations within a supportive climate; and build inquiry, a sense of wonder and the excitement of discovery, plus communication and teamwork, critical thinking, and life-long learning skills into learning experiences.

"We are all related"
Education is an art of process, participation and making connection.

Safe for DiversityThe required solvent for civilization is respect for differences. The art is to be different together.
Civilization will be built by cooperation and compassion, in a social climate in which people of different groups can deal with each other in ways that respect their cultural differences.

5 changes I'd like to see1. Take advantage of classroom gatherings for student-
student interaction2. Involve more students in study abroad and other forms of
engagement that are well outside their familiarity – Lee Shulman - Goal of Education - make the strange familiar and make the familiar strange.
3. Change the PhD preparation to make it more focused on Scholarly Teaching & SOTL - (UW Re-envisioning the PhD, Woodrow Wilson - Responsive PhD, Carnegie Study of the Doctorate.
4. Study ourselves. Engaged Scholarship.5. Embrace sustainability - universities should be leading the
efforts and studies to develop more sustainable communities and workplaces.
