Land cover and land use are highly visible indicators of climate change and human disruption to natural processes. While land cover is frequently monitored over a large area using satellite data, ground-based reference data is valuable as a comparison point. The NASA-funded GLOBE Observer (GO) program provides volunteer-collected land cover photos tagged with location, date and time, and, in some cases, land cover type. When making a full land cover observation, volunteers take six photos of the site, one facing north, south, east, and west (N-S-E-W), respectively, one pointing straight up to capture canopy and sky, and one pointing down to document ground cover. Together, the photos document a 100-meter square of land. Volunteers may then optionally tag each N-S-E-W photo with the land cover types present. Volunteers collect the data through a smartphone app, also called GLOBE Observer, resulting in consistent data. While land cover data collected through GLOBE Observer is ongoing, this paper presents the results of a data challenge held between June 1 and October 15, 2019. Called “GO on a Trail,” the challenge resulted in more than 3,300 land cover data points from around the world with concentrated data collection in the United States and Australia. GLOBE Observer collections can serve as reference data, complementing satellite imagery for the improvement and verification of broad land cover maps. Continued collection using this protocol will build a database documenting climate-related land cover and land use change into the future.

We created a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) corpus by filtering wikipedia articles based on their category metadata. During extraction of wiki page contents, we mitigated the frequent rendering issues (number, equations & symbols) prevalent in existing wiki datasets.
For filtering, we first defined a set of seed wikipedia categories related to STEM topics such as Category:Concepts in physics, Category:Physical quantities, etc. For each category, recursively collect the member pages and subcategories up to a certain depth. We next extracted the page contents of the collected wiki URLs using Wikipedia-API (400k+ pages).
Chunking: We first split the full text from each article based on different sections. The longer sections were further broken down into smaller chunks containing approximately 300 tokens (deberta-v3 tokenizer).
This dataset can be embedded and used for RAG over STEM wiki.

SummarySESTAT is the Scientists and Engineers Statistical Data System. SESTAT was established in 1993 and comprised of three workforce surveys from the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics within the U.S. National Science Foundation. This integrated data system is a unique source of longitudinal information on the education and employment of the college-educated U.S. science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce. It was integrated through 2013.The Scientists and Engineers Statistical Data System (SESTAT) comprises three demographic surveys of scientists and engineers sponsored by sponsored by the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) within the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF): the National Survey of College Graduates (NSCG), the National Survey of Recent College Graduates (NSRCG), and the Survey of Doctorate Recipients (SDR). The three component surveys used similar questionnaires, survey reference dates, data collection periods, and data-processing procedures to facilitate integration for SESTAT. The three surveys were designed to provide maximum coverage of the target population—namely, scientists and engineers—with special emphasis given to relatively rare populations (e.g., doctorate recipients, recent graduates, and minorities). Overall, SESTAT provides a comprehensive picture of the number and characteristics of individuals in the United States with a bachelor's or higher-level degree and their employment, with a focus on those having science and engineering (S&E) degrees or working in S&E occupations. In the 2000s, this definition was expanded to include S&E-related degrees and occupations.Background. Since 1993, SESTAT has provided a unique source of information on the education and employment of the college-educated U.S. S&E workforce by integrating three surveys: NSCG, NSRCG, and SDR. The establishment of SESTAT design was based on recommendations from a 1989 CNSTAT panel study report, Surveying the Nation's Scientists and Engineers—A Data System for the 1990s. This CNSTAT recommendation encouraged NSF to target the population of college graduates trained in S&E fields and those with employment in S&E occupations, to conduct the postcensal survey of college graduates, to conduct a survey for new graduating bachelor's or master's degree recipients, and to continue to support the ongoing SDR. The 2010 survey cycle introduced the first redesign of SESTAT during its nearly 20 years of existence.

This proposal adds original approaches to the currently scarce body of practical evidence on the application of STEM innovations in the curriculum. A teaching-learning program was designed in a real-world context such as the game of soccer with a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) approach through a cooperative problem-solving methodology. The objectives of the research focus on analyzing the effect of the use of this STEM unit on the academic performance of students, taking into account the gender variable; and their appreciation of the activities and methodology used, as well as the challenges encountered and their solutions. The intervention was implemented in the 4th year of Compulsory Secondary Education in a school in Spain with 36 students (24 girls and 12 boys). Academic performance was analyzed taking into account the gender variable, for which a quasi-experimental design was applied before and after with a control group. The appreciation and interest of the experimental group regarding the methodology used as well as the difficulties that arose were studied. As a result, there is an improvement in the academic performance, which is more evident in girls. The methodology has been valued positively and the greatest difficulties refer to the distribution of roles and understanding and carrying out the activities, however, these difficulties were resolved with the help of classmates and the teacher.

TwitterFostering equity in undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs can be accomplished by incorporating learner-centered pedagogies, resulting in the closing of opportunity gaps (defined in this research as the difference in grades earned by minoritized and non-minoritized students). We assessed STEM courses that exhibit small and large opportunity gaps at a minority-serving, research-intensive university, and evaluated the degree to which their syllabi are learner-centered, according to a previously validated rubric. We specifically chose syllabi as they are often the first interaction a student has with a course and can serve to establish expectations for course policies and practices. We found that STEM courses with more learner-centered syllabi had smaller opportunity gaps. The syllabus rubric factor that most correlated with smaller opportunity gaps was Power and Control, which reflects the Student's Role, Outside Resources, and Syllabus Focus. This..., This dataset is composed of rubric scores for 50 course syllabi of STEM classes in a research-intensive university with a large population of minoritized students as well as some institutional data (here defined as African-American, Latinx, Pacific Islander, and American Indian). We wanted to examine the relationship between racial grade gaps (here labeled as opportunity gaps) and the degree of learner-centeredness of the syllabi since course syllabi are good representations of classroom pedagogy according to the previous literature. The 50 syllabi were evaluated with a previously validated and peer-reviewed rubric designed by Cullen and Harris in 2009 and published in Assessment and Evaluation in Higher Education journal. The rubric measures the degree of learner-centeredness of syllabi. It has 13 items categorized under 3 factors plus the number of pages of the syllabi.

The dataset in this study focuses on the burden of mental health illness, specifically anxiety and depression, across 149 countries over a 26-year period. The research combines national-level data on mental health prevalence (NAP) sourced from the World Health Organization (WHO), which tracks global mental illness data. To analyze the potential drivers of mental health outcomes, the study includes independent variables related to knowledge creation and transfer, such as publication data from Clarivate's Journal Citation Report on science, technology, engineering, mathematics, arts, and humanities. Additionally, it incorporates control variables from organizations like SIPRI, the World Bank, and the Heritage Foundation, which provide macro-level data on population size, economic freedom, internet penetration, R&D investment, political corruption, military spending, economic status, and literacy rates. The dataset, which integrates these variables, helps reduce the limitations found in previous studies regarding sample selection and regional focus, offering a comprehensive framework for understanding the complex relationships between mental health and societal factors.

The lack of diversity in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) is a significant issue for the sector. Many organisations and educators have identified lack of representation of historically marginalised groups within teaching materials as a potential barrier to students feeling that a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) career is something that they can aspire to. A key barrier to addressing the issue is providing accessible and effective evidence-based approaches for educators to implement. In this study, we explore the potential for adapting presentation slides within lectures to ‘humanise’ the scientists involved, presenting their full names and photographs alongside a Harvard style reference. The intervention stems from an initial assumption that many formal scientific referencing systems are demographic-neutral and exacerbate prevailing perceptions that STEM is not diverse. We adopt a questionnaire based methodology surveying 161 bioscience undergraduates and postgraduates at a UK civic university. We first establish that students project assumptions about the gender, location, and ethnicity of the author of a hypothetical reference, with over 50% of students assuming they are male and Western. We then explore what students think of the humanised slide design, concluding that many students see it as good pedagogical practice with some students positively changing their perceptions about diversity in science. We were unable to compare responses by participant ethnic group, but find preliminary evidence that female and non-binary students are more likely to see this as good pedagogical practice, perhaps reflecting white male fragility in being exposed to initiatives designed to highlight diversity. We conclude that humanised powerpoint slides are a potentially effective tool to highlight diversity of scientists within existing research-led teaching, but highlight that this is only a small intervention that needs to sit alongside more substantive work to address the lack of diversity in STEM.

This paper presents the design and validation process of a set of instruments to evaluate the impact of an informal learning initiative to promote Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) vocations in students, their families (parents), and teachers. The proposed set of instruments, beyond assessing the satisfaction of the public involved, allow collecting data to evaluate the impact in terms of changes in the consideration of the role of women in STEM areas and STEM vocations. The procedure followed to develop the set of instruments consisted of two phases. In the first phase, a preliminary version (v1) of the questionnaires was designed based on the objectives of the Girls4STEM initiative, an inclusive project promoting STEM vocations between 6 and 18 years old boys and girls. Five specific questionnaires were designed, one for the families (post activity), two for the students (pre and post activity) and two for the teachers (pre and post avitivity). A refined version (v2) of each questionnaire was obtained with evidence of content validity after undergoing an expert judgment process. The second phase was the refinement of the (v2) instruments, to ascertain the evidence of reliability and validity so that a final version (v3) was derived. In the paper, a high-quality set of good practices focused on promoting diversity and gender equality in the STEM sector are presented from a Higher Education Institution perspective, the University of Valencia. The main contribution of this work is the achievement of a set of instruments, rigorously designed for the evaluation of the implementation and effectiveness of a STEM promoting program, with sufficient validity evidence. Moreover, the proposed instruments can be a reference for the evaluation of other projects aimed at diversifying the STEM sector.
