21. Gender Differences in Math Ability: What's the Science Say?
-
By Katrina Hunter | April 25, 2017
Research Assistant, ETRI was in a college calculus course. We were learning how to use quadrants and angles to solve functions.
People can either solve the function visually, or by calculating out their answer. As we were going through different problems, I was using the visual method to solve the function. My instructor commented that it was good that I could solve the equation that way, and that it was rare for women to be able to visualize the solutions.

22. How Teaching Helped Me Be a Better Researcher
-
By Emily Green, MA | March 30 2017
Research Assistant, ETRThere is something about being a teacher that you carry with you, even if you transition to something else. I didn’t expect to become a K-12 science teacher, but I loved doing it. Now, I find myself being a teacher in everything I do. It gets into your blood. It changes the way you think. And I cannot thank my students enough for changing me in this way.

23. New Media, Old Themes: Sexualization in Children's TV Shows
-
By Elizabeth McDade-Montez, PhD | March 28, 2017
Senior Research Associate, ETRTV is not what it used to be. Over the past decade, we have seen a range of new methods of content delivery (Netflix, AmazonVideo, Hulu), new ways of watching (bingeing on favorites, catching short segments on YouTube, checking out cute kittens suggested by friends on Facebook), and new ways of calculating ratings.
Unfortunately, although television platforms have clearly modernized over time, television themes and stereotypes around gender and sexuality have not.

By Pamela Anderson, PhD | February 9, 2017
Senior Research Associate, ETRI’m having a sentimental parent moment. Our three-year-old is looking at the iPad. She is trying to defy gravity by watching her show upside down. The iPad falls on her face. She falls off the couch and hits the floor.
Our almost-seven-year-old immediately sprints over to help and console her sister.

By Beverly Iniguez-Conrique | November 21, 2016
Research Assistant, ETRI was three and a half years old on my first day of school. On that crisp September morning, my mother woke up early to dress me and walk me over to the local elementary school.
This was a special moment for my mom. She never had the chance to attend college or immerse herself in her education.

30. What to Think About When You’re Surveying Students
-
By Pamela Jakwerth Drake, PhD, & Marcia Quackenbush, MS, MFT, MCHES | September 22, 2016
Senior Research Scientist & Senior Editor, ETRFirst published on the EdSurge blog on July 20, 2016.
Students hold a lot of useful information that you can use to find out all kinds of things. Assess school climate or student engagement. Identify teaching strategies kids like best. Measure health behaviors and attitudes. Learn more about student interests. If you can gather this information, it can help you make better decisions about students.
Do you want to find out whether students feel their teachers are doing a good job of teaching? Whether students feel safe at school? Would you like to know students’ level of engagement and sense of belonging at the school? Do you want to gain a better understanding of student health risk behaviors so you can focus your health education programming in an efficient way?
A survey may be your answer.
