We evaluated a series of metacognitive homework assignments (“Scientist Spotlights”) that featured counterstereotypical examples of scientists in an introductory biology class at a diverse community college. Scientist Spotlights additionally served as tools for content coverage, as scientists were selected to match topics covered each week. We analyzed beginning- and end-of-course essays completed by students during each of five courses with Scientist Spotlights and two courses with equivalent homework assignments that lacked connections to the stories of diverse scientists. Students completing Scientist Spotlights shifted toward counterstereotypical descriptions of scientists and conveyed an enhanced ability to personally relate to scientists following the intervention. Longitudinal data suggested these shifts were maintained 6 months after the completion of the course. Analyses further uncovered correlations between these shifts, interest in science, and course grades. As Scientist Spotlights require very little class time and complement existing curricula, they represent a promising tool for enhancing science identity, shifting stereotypes, and connecting content to issues of equity and diversity in a broad range of STEM classrooms.}, number={3}, journal={CBE-LIFE SCIENCES EDUCATION}, author={Schinske, Jeffrey N. and Perkins, Heather and Snyder, Amanda and Wyer, Mary}, year={2016}, month={Sep} } @book{wyer_barbercheck_cookmeyer_ozturk_m._2014, title={Women, science, and technology: A reader in feminist science studies}, publisher={New York: Routledge}, year={2014} } @article{nassar-mcmillan_wyer_oliver-hoyo_schneider_2011, title={New tools for examining undergraduate students' STEM stereotypes: Implications for women and other underrepresented groups}, volume={2011}, ISSN={0271-0579}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/ir.411}, DOI={10.1002/ir.411}, abstractNote={Abstract The authors describe the scale development process for three new scales designed to measure attitudes and perceptions about scientists and offer implications for how these tools can be used on college campuses and for future research.}, number={152}, journal={New Directions for Institutional Research}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Nassar-McMillan, Sylvia C. and Wyer, Mary and Oliver-Hoyo, Maria and Schneider, Jennifer}, year={2011}, month={Dec}, pages={87–98} } @article{nassar-mcmillan_wyer_oliver-hoyo_ryder-burge_2010, title={Using focus groups in preliminary instrument development: Expected and unexpected lessons learned}, volume={15}, journal={Qualitative Report}, author={Nassar-McMillan, S. and Wyer, M. and Oliver-Hoyo, M. and Ryder-Burge, A.}, year={2010}, pages={1621–1634} } @book{wyer_barbercheck_giesman_ozturk_wayne_2009, title={Women, science, and technology: a reader in feminist science studies}, ISBN={9780415960397}, publisher={New York: Routledge}, year={2009} } @article{wyer_murphy-medley_damschen_rosenfeld_wentworth_2007, title={No quick fixes: Adding content about women to ecology course materials}, volume={31}, ISSN={["1471-6402"]}, DOI={10.1111/j.1471-6402.2007.00334.x}, abstractNote={This study reports on a three-semester model project designed to assess the impact of enriched content related to Women's and Gender Studies on students enrolled in an undergraduate ecology course.

The data included 398 matched pretest and posttest survey responses from a control group, a minimal enrichment group, and an increased enrichment group.

This review is the result of an interdisciplinary fusion of science and women's studies to critically assess teaching tools in undergraduate ecology education. We examine: (1) the representation of women and the coverage of social and cultural context in introductory ecology textbooks, and (2) student learning about women's contributions to ecology. Discipline demographics reveal that women are presented in textbooks less often than expected, and that explicit discussions of the social and cultural context of science are rare. When course content is enriched with material about women's contributions, student's awareness of women scientists improves. Such knowledge can play a critical role in proactively challenging students' perceptions of ecology and ecologists, creating a more positive classroom climate for all students, and introducing novel avenues of questioning and discovery.}, number={4}, journal={FRONTIERS IN ECOLOGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT}, author={Damschen, EI and Rosenfeld, KM and Wyer, M and Murphy-Medley, D and Wentworth, TR and Haddad, NM}, year={2005}, month={May}, pages={212–219} } @article{wyer_2003, title={Feminist science studies: A new generation.}, volume={28}, ISSN={["0097-9740"]}, DOI={10.1086/345327}, abstractNote={Previous articleNext article No AccessBook Reviews Has Feminism Changed Science?
