K-16 Student Academic Success in STEM

Measuring Reasoning to Enhance STEM Success

Success in STEM requires an ability to reason logically and consistently using a premise or hypothesis. However, the reasoning skills so necessary for success in STEM may not be common among incoming students. A study is underway at Columbus State University (CSU) to measure the level of scientific reasoning skills among students enrolled in STEM classes. The results of this study will be used to inform teaching practice and may affect future University course offerings.
