  1. PREPARING STUDENTS FOR THEIR FIRST COLLEGE SCIENCE COURSE 2018 Science Summit September 21, 2018 Anita Huang Institutional Analyst Hawai‘i P-20 Partnerships for Education

  2. Hawai‘i Data eXchange Partnership (DXP) Hawai‘i State Department of Education University of Hawai‘i Department of Labor and Industrial Relations Hawai‘i State Department of Health Department of Human Services Who Partners share data in the Statewide Longitudinal Data System (SLDS) Managed by Hawai‘i P-20 Partnerships for Education What • Understand how students progress through the pipeline • Make better informed decisions to reduce achievement gaps • Create policies and programs to improve outcomes Why

  3. Protecting the confidentiality of data is a foundational commitment. Adhere to all state and federal laws and agency policies Data are de-identified or summarized Active data governance program

  4. Class of 2014-2016 33,146 graduates Enrolled in DOE all 4 Years andOn-time grade level promotion26,457 (80% of graduates) DOE Class of 2014-2016 graduates enrolled at any UH campus in the first fall after high school12,012 (36% of graduates) UH

  5. More DOE graduates are completing 4 years of science, passing advanced science, and meeting the ACT Science benchmark. Average ACT Science Score Average ACT Science Score 17.3 17.7 17.6 18.1 17.8 18.4

  6. The most popular science courses completed during high school: Biology, Chemistry, and Physical Science.DOE graduates who were enrolled all 4 years of high school and promoted on-time (26,457) Less than 1%: Astronomy, Geology Less than 1%: Microbiology, Biotechnology, Health sciences Course completions include dual credit courses

  7. About 1 in 3 completed Biology-Chemistry-Physics. Science course combinations completed by DOE graduates immediately enrolled at UH (12,012) More graduates completed Life-Physical-Earth/Space. Life, Physical, & Earth/Space Life & Physical (No Earth/Space) Biology, Chemistry, & Physics Biology & Chemistry (No Physics) All Other All Other

  8. Graduates who passed 4 years of science and completed Biology-Chemistry-Physics were more likely to enroll in a science course at UH. DOE Graduates Enrolled at UH Enrolled in a UH Science Course Within 2 Years % Took a Science Course 64% 76% 53% 78% 64% 46% 59% 68% 49%

  9. Graduates who passed 4 years of science and completed Biology-Chemistry-Physics were more likely to pass their first UH science course with a C or better. Enrolled in a UH Science Course Within 2 Years C or Better % C or better 73% 79% 65% 81% 72% 59% 70% 75% 63%

  10. Graduates who met the ACT college readiness benchmarks were more likely to take a science course at UH within 2 years of high school. DOE Graduates Enrolled at UH Enrolled in a UH Science Course Within 2 Years 64% 85% 61% 85% 58% 80% 55%

  11. Graduates who met the ACT college readiness benchmarks were more likely to pass their first UH science course with a C or better. Enrolled in a UH Science Course Within 2 Years C or Better % C or Better 73% 86% 70% 86% 68% 83% 65%

  12. When do students take their first UH science course? 1st Fall or Prior 1st Spring/Summer 2nd Year No Science Within 2 Years

  13. First UH science courses of STEM majors were more concentrated in Chemistry and Biology, while non-STEM majors were more likely to take other science subjects. Top 10 first science course subjects Declared a STEM major at any time within 2 years N=2,379 | 18% did not take a science course Never declared a STEM major within 2 years N=9,633 | 40% did not take a science course

  14. STEM majorsMost popular 1st course: CHEM 161 Non-STEM majors Most popular 1st course: BIOL 100 Enrolled C or better Enrolled C or better % C or better % C or better Top 10 first UH science courses Declared a STEM major at any time & enrolled in a UH science course within 2 years | N=1,952 | 81% earned C or better in first science course Never declared a STEM major and took a science course within 2 years | N=5,791 | 71% earned C or better in first science course

  15. Summary More DOE graduates are Completing 4 years of science Passing advanced science Meeting the ACT science benchmark Of those who immediately enroll at UH More likely to take and pass a UH science course if they Passed 4 years of science in high school Passed Biology-Chemistry-Physics Met ACT benchmarks Declared a STEM major Most common first science courses: Biology and Chemistry
