Judith Stull, Associate Professor of Sociology, Social Work, and Criminal Justice along with Andria Smythe, a graduate student at Temple University, and Jamie Libonate, an undergraduate at La Salle University, presented two papers at the annual meeting of the Eastern Sociological Society held in New York in February.
With two additional researchers and Smythe, Stull presented a paper entitled “Differences in Students’ Attitudes Toward Learning Science in School and Attitudes Toward Science as a Career." With the same researchers and Libonate, she presented a second paper entitled “Effective Teaching Practices and Achievement: Where Teachers and Students Agree.”
Smythe and Libonate collected data for both presentations while working under the direction of Stull on “Science in the City,” an NSF-funded, out-of-school program directed toward improving interest in and the achievement of science and mathematics among middle-grade school students.
