TL;DR: This paper adapts the four-frame model of organizational change to the context of higher education to offer the model as a tool for researchers and change agents who wish to study and enact systemic change within STEM departments.

TL;DR: Seven different data mining and statistical analyses are discussed by comparing and contrasting the metabolic functions of 212 microbial metagenomes within and between 10 environments, finding that the presence of phage genes within the microbial community was a predictor of whether the microbialcommunity was host-associated or free-living.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present findings from a recently completed census survey of all mathematics departments in the United States that offer a graduate degree in mathematics and conclude with a discussion of areas where they see the potential for growth and further improvement.

TL;DR: In this article, six common beliefs about the usage of active learning in introductory STEM courses are investigated using survey data from 3769 instructors, focusing on contextual factors: class size, classroom setup, and teaching evaluations; three focus on individual factors: security of employment, research activity, and prior exposure.

TL;DR: This exploratory study focuses on similarities and differences among STEM disciplinary cultures, drawing on data gathered from scholars in discipline-based education research who attended two sessions at the 2017 Transforming Research in Undergraduate STEM Education conference.
