]. 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

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

reference to thedefinition of bits in timer 2’s control register which is provided in the microcontroller’s datasheet.Cognitive load theory predicts that when these elements are spatially or temporally separated,such as refer- ring to a textbook, a datasheet, and traditional source code, additional extraneousload is imposed to successfully integrate these elements. Because LP encourages including allthese elements as a part of the document, as shown in Figure 2(b), we hypothesize that the use ofliterate programs will reduce extraneous load, thereby improving students’ ability to master theseconcepts, which will lead to higher test scores.We investigated the impact of LP in a digital system design course because modern hardwaredescription languages

This trendseems to continue, currently, 83% of all U.S. institutions that offer online courses say theyexpect an increase in online enrollment in the coming decade. By available facts, figures, andstatistics one can say that online education is here to stay. The combination of the growinginterest in online learning and how it is essentially a necessity nowadays due to the Covid-19pandemic, speaks volumes about its inevitable continuous growth. It is not difficult to visualizea stimulating future for the global online education industry as more

By contrast, a smaller groupof MPC students expressed a higher level of satisfaction with the overall course experienceduring their interview responses. These students appeared to be more self-motivated andpersistent in their determination to master the material, describing their efforts to consultmultiple sources when encountering problems, as well as the satisfaction they derived fromlearning. These students reported that they had learned a tremendous amount from this class andhad completed the course feeling that while the experience had been time-consuming anddifficult, it was also worthwhile.Interviews with the instructor

In general, students found hands-onactivities helpful in understanding the physical meaning behind the mathematical equations andthat the course format was an effective way to learn the material.
