Making STEMM More Accessible For Underrepresented Students: Wong et al; 2022
STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine) is an important field of study today, yet underrepresented students are often less inclined to pursue it in higher education. This can be due to various barriers such as a lack of support or resources, a lack of awareness of the opportunities available, or a lack of motivation or self-efficacy. End of the Road? The Career Intentions of Under-Represented STEM Students in Higher Education is a review that looks into why that is and how to make STEMM more accessible and attractive to underrepresented students. The review provides insight into the intentions and motivations of underrepresented students in STEMM-related fields and offers recommendations for promoting and supporting them in higher education.
