there are several individual characteristics associated with a student talent development such as

excellent teachers. Using data from the Higher Education Research Institute’s (HERI) 2013-2014 Faculty

Survey, the purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between scholarly productivity, studentcentered

teaching, and discipline-based teaching activities, controlling for select demographic and

contextual factors. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used on a national sample of 4,548 STEM

faculty across 262 institutions to simultaneously estimate the relationships among confirmed latent

constructs. Findings show that the simple relationship between scholarly productivity and the use of

student-centered teaching practices is significantly negative but becomes significantly positive after

introducing authentic forms of research in teaching (the nexus of knowledge production and

dissemination) as a mediator between scholarly productivity and student-centered teaching. The

relationship between scholarly productivity and student-centered teaching also varies across institutional

type. This study changes the discourse around teaching and research, which currently seem to be at odds.

Institutional leadership and other educational stakeholders will be interested in seeking ways to both

increase research outputs and improve teaching quality, both of which encompass the bedrock of higher

education. },

abstract = {College student enrollment mobility complicates institutional efforts to increase retention rates under external pressures. This mixed-methods study identifies factors measuring reasons for college students’ enrollment mobility from 13 institutions corroborated with student focus group data from seven site visits. We use confirmatory factor analysis to test the cohesiveness of quantitative survey measures regarding reasons for multi-institution enrollment and stop-out, and then examine differences in their relative importance across mobility patterns. Students’ reasons for multi-institution enrollment include Cost/Convenience and Academic Opportunities; for stop-out are Life Circumstances, Career Considerations, and Perceived Mismatch. The qualitative findings also show Lack of Support as an additional reason for mobility. The study emphasizes that students normatively utilize higher education as one system that leads to degree attainment, requiring institutions to collaborate to develop effective ways to educate, retain, and graduate mobile students within regional higher education systems.

After controlling for pre-college socialization and racial differences, results show that race identity was more salient among students that experience discrimination/bias, but also among students who had in-depth conversations outside of class on issues of racial/ethnic diversity, took courses as part of an inclusive curriculum, and participated in co-curricular diversity initiatives. },

First, we analyzed data for all students who took both the TFS and CSS (at the same institution), and who indicated on the TFS that they intended to major in a STEM field. This sample included 3,670 students at 217 different institutions. 1,522 respondents were White, 498 were Asian, 812 were Latino(a), 626 were Black/African American, and 196 were Native American. We examined the effects of racial group classification (i.e., self-identification as Native American, Latino, or Black) on STEM persistence. We found significant effects for Blacks and Latinos; both of these groups were significantly less likely to persist in STEM majors than were their White and Asian American counterparts. However, when controlling for pre-college characteristics the race effects disappeared. Next, we further restricted the above sample to include only underrepresented racial minority (URM) students (i.e., Black/African American, Latino/a or Native American). In total, 1,634 students were included in the URM subsample. We found that undergraduate research, participation in an academic club or organization, studying frequently with others, and having a high academic self-concept all increased the likelihood of URM student persistence. We also found that aspiring to the medical doctorate, working full-time, and

faculty interactions were decreased the likelihood that a URM student would persist in a STEM major.
