PVT circuit required significantlymore skill than the previous labs and the remote setting made it a challenge to debug non-workingcircuits so the teaching team thought to implement this approach to building the circuit. Theconcern that it would be slow and tedious especially for students who were more independentended up being a non-issue; when students were asked if they prefer the step-by-step walk-throughto circuit building as a group or doing it individually, the great majority said they preferred thewalk-through. The slower pace and instructor led narration of each step helped students feel morecomfortable with the lab and perhaps master circuit building skills that they hadn’t yet masteredup to that point and may be why it was rated
four items in the context of classes within the student’smajor using an adapted version of the Task Value subscale from the Motivated Strategies forLearning Questionnaire (MSLQ) [27], [28].Self-efficacy was defined as the self-appraisal of one’s ability to master a task and includedjudgments about one’s ability to accomplish a task as well as one’s confidence in one’s skills toperform that task. Self-efficacy was measured in the student’s major domain using five itemsfrom the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) [27] [28].Participation measured how and to what level students participate in class discussions in theirclasses and in lab/study groups. The subscale consisted of two items, adapted from previous K-12 studies [29

workplace fights, workers still win, and their wins produce a transformational change in consciousness” [15, p. 24].Related to McAlevey’s whole worker organizing, the engineering and labor theory of changealso makes use of la paperson’s concept of scyborg. la paperson envisions a decolonizinguniversity emerging from within the present colonizing and colonized one. The agent of thisrevolution, building on the legacies of Donna Haraway and Roderick Ferguson, is the scyborg, reorganizer of institutional machinery; it subverts machinery against the master code of its makers; it rewires machinery to its own intentions. It’s that elliptical gear that makes the machine work (for freedom sometimes) by helping the machine (of

face of adversity as well as the methodsstudents use to overcome significant academic and personal challenges. The following excerpthighlights how some students prioritize understanding a subject and concentrating until they fullygrasp the correct solution. The most important core value to me is focus. When I become interested or excited by a project or problem in my life, I prefer to divert all my attention to mastering the project or solving the problem before returning to anything else. I demonstrate this in many aspects in my life. With school, once I start an assignment or project I will keep working until it’s finished, and I often will attempt to focus for long periods of time to finish
and all agreed to be a partyto the development of the online course. Proceedings of the 2011 North Midwest Section ConferenceStage 2: Lecture Design and Delivery StrategiesApproximately six weeks after the initial meeting, a meeting was held by the faculty who werestill interested in the online development. The pool now dropped to four faculty members. Themembers met for a single eight hour meeting to further discuss the course.The initial portion of the meeting was to create the course schedule, therefore identifying theorder of the lectures. The course would be comprised of 45 lectures. A master schedule wascreated for the development. Each lesson was placed into the schedule, and the lesson wasdetermined. The

conveniently-timed courses to obtain the prerequisite knowledge needed for success in theprogram.Technology is changing rapidly, resulting in many employers discovering a need to help theircurrent workforce build competencies in new software, tools, and devices [24], [25].Traditionally, GVSU has served the needs for highly-specialized talent in the communitythrough the provision of master’s degrees. While PCEC remains committed to providing well-prepared masters-level professionals in computing, engineering, and the professional sciences,we have also heard from our industry partners that there is a need for more short-term, skill-specific training in the STEM workforce.Rising to meet this need for continuous learning in the professional community is a
stress of high-stakes testing regimes and dis-trict moves toward curriculum standardization. In addition, we also show how the obstacles andbarriers for teachers who are committed to constructionism, such as Julie, may not be confined toin-school but, contrary to much of the celebratory literature on constructionism, also presentthemselves in out-of-school contexts, albeit in different ways. Before detailing our descriptivesingle-case study methodology and outlining our findings, we provide some background on Julie,her school, and her relationships to constructionist technologies.Teacher and School Julie is a White middle age woman who, as of 2018, was a National Board Certifiedteacher, a NYS STEM Master Teacher, and had been teaching in

]. We note that developing our own survey instead of selecting an “off-the-shelf” instrument was a very challenging endeavor that took us 2-years to complete. Designing the survey was as much an art as it was a science (for more information see [5]). We tested our instrument in a research group (n=8; 2 faculty members; 1 Masters student; 5 undergraduate research assistants) and then piloted the survey with n=10 undergraduate engineering students. 2. Story collection We launched our survey from 19 November to 17 December in 2019. We emailed the survey link to approximately 2,290
competencies to thoserequired by journalists and teachers, as for example in mathematics. Clearly there is a need toinvestigate the level of mathematical competency required by the different groups.For example, in the 1960’s the University of Lancaster required its arts students to take acourse (approximately 60 contact hours) in a science subject during their second year. HubertMontagu Pollock who taught the physics course found it difficult to teach in the first year itwas delivered because of the lack of mathematical skill among the students in the class. Hereasoned that someone who spent a very few hours mastering some of the essentials would beable to follow scientific arguments put in a much simpler form than would be possible inwords alone
work that humanity ischanging fast, and with the change is generating a new social group: the group of "uselesspeople." They define this group as individuals that lack the necessary skills to be productivemembers of society. Today individual with a lack of STEM/STEAM skills is running in asignificant disadvantage when competing with those that mastering those skills. Thisphenomenon is happening today. The reader can see concrete examples of this phenomenon inRobotics competitions, Science Fair, and other similar events.The author hopes that more potential instructors from the communities will join this process, andwith them, a wave of change will prevail in these non-privileged neighborhoods.6 - AcknowledgmentsThe author will like to thank all

mass cue’” (p. 140). For onestudent, the critical mass cue (i.e., noticing “so many black people . . . in the classroom”) wasindeed major [32, p. 258, citing 33]. For another student participating in an “institutional supportsystem” for URM students, “senior students were substantiating and transmitting a deficit-oriented and identity-threatening master narrative about the experiences of Black students in [ ]mathematics courses….” [32, p. 259]. Jack [18] describes a similar idea, noting “Paying attentionto these diverse experiences and the structural forces that influence them, such as poverty andsegregation, can go a long way toward helping to design initiatives to promote all students’ senseof belonging.” (p. 78). Thus, it is uncertain to

According to Delgado and Stefancic [16], CRT encompasses four main themes: (1) Racism is ordinary and not aberrational; it is an integral part of American society; (2) Race and racism are social constructions; (3) A “White-over-color ascendancy” serves important psychic and material purposes that reinforce racism; and (4) Storytelling and counterstorytelling are important mechanisms for challenging dominant “master narratives.”As Fernández [17] contends, storytelling within a CRT
