, and that this contributes to broader racial and gender inequalities in pay, prestige andpower. “[S]cience degrees and occupations are associated with greater prestige and rewards thanany other field of study. In a technologically advanced society, the status and power of those inscience makes them the new elite” [29, p. 113]. Therefore, it is imperative that science andengineering disciplines are equally accessible to all, regardless of race or gender. The politicalnature of social justice arguments makes them uncommon in a discipline that prefers to maintainits objectivity [30]. However, the “equality case” for diversity is the only argument that takesinto account pre-existing power structures that reproduce racial and gender inequalities

Both of these instruments use Likert scales, which introduces uncertainty in theintervals between scale points. The Likert scale data was treated as ordinal and a nonparametricMann-Whitney U-test was used to determine group differences based on Mean Rank. Data werematched for pre/post, resulting in 18 paired data sets (11 US students and 7 Central Asianstudents).Significant differences were identified between Mean Rank of students from the US universityand students from the

Compounding external pressures to phase out high schoolvocational programs stem from historical, social, political, and academic sources acting since the1940’s heyday of Industrial Arts: 1) ongoing social stigma devaluing vocational training in favorof more “academic” fields; 2) lack of qualified Industrial Arts teachers with no training pipeline;and 3) mandated state and federal

Also, they mentioned that a systematized review can be conductedby one researcher rather than a research team. As a systematized review, this study followedBorrego, Foster, and Froyd (2014)’s steps in conducting a systematic review: identifying a scopeand research questions, defining inclusion criteria, finding and cataloging sources, critique andappraisal, and synthesis.
