Although rigor is bound up in all aspects of a study—fromits level of cultural responsiveness to communication with internal and external stakeholdersthroughout the research process—our definition of rigor is narrower than our definition ofquality. Specifically, we understand rigor to mean that a study’s claims and implications havebeen carefully supported with data, and that alternative explanations have been considered andaddressed throughout the research design.Validity and reliability have

the make up of students who select to enroll in pre-collegeengineering classes. To deny (or even delay) access to suit research faces serious ethical barriers,since it denies students and parents their preferences, and could impose serious damage to theirscholastic progress and even later academic and workplace opportunities. In a somewhat similarmanner, teachers opt to participate in or avoid engineering instruction and manipulating thisselection for research purposes faces serious professional and ethic issues. With limited ability inpublic schools to assign teachers to their classes, there is a need to document inherent differencesthat may exist among teachers and to interpret the impact of training and teaching experiences

Although the logistic regression model was less successful in predictingwho changed majors out of engineering (the model only accurately predicted fewer than 15% ofthose cases), this is somewhat consistent with prior research that showed predicting whoachieves academically is more straightforward than predicting who underachieves20. In otherwords, there is often more variability underlying reasons for underachievement, and the same islikely true for students who change majors out of engineering to choose
