reconsider the role that spatial skills actuallyplay in training engineers. This paper argues that spatial skills testing and training interventionsare a misuse of the time and energy of people who want to help women and other historicallyexcluded students succeed in engineering. We must reframe our interventions withoutperpetuating deficit models about cognitive abilities like “spatial skills,” a construct which, inspite of its wide popularity in the STEM education community, has been very poorly formulated.References[1] S. G. Vandenberg and A. R.

One way students increased the participation of other students was by encouraging sharing, which we define as proactively putting out an open-ended call for others’ input. To be coded as an encouraging sharing move, a student’s utterance had to go beyond simply asking for affirmation or refutation of an idea they themselves had stated. For example, when working on a problem about a firefighting hose, S made an encouraging sharing move when they put out a call for a peer’s idea: S: Yeah. What do you think Abe? What should we do?(2) Acknowledging

Software engineering managers in Tobias Neely etal.’s [1] case flagged that stretch assignments need to have an element of building new skills andcapacities (stretches were routinely described as “getting out of your comfort zone”) and anelement of visibility in the organization and to managers and leaders.
