Dr. Shanan Chappell and Dr. Stephanie Hathcock of The Center for Educational Partnerships co-authored research on the impact of a pullout STEM program on student reading and math scores and students' attitudes and perceptions regarding STEM education and careers. The article is titled, "The Examination of a Pullout STEM Program for Urban Upper Elementary Students."
The purpose of this study was to determine whether a pullout STEM program (STARBASE) makes reading and math scores decrease and examine its impact on urban fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students' attitudes and perceptions regarding STEM education and careers.
