Research summary
AI-generated

Elizabeth A. Canning studies how students' beliefs and motivations shape their academic success, particularly in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Her work examines topics like 'mindset' (whether students believe abilities can grow), the messages instructors send, and why students stay in or leave science career paths. She often designs interventions aimed at helping students persist and succeed, with attention to first-generation and underrepresented college students.
