an issue not only with competency,but also with a lack of self-efficacy in math, science, and engineering which creates anxiety. According to Beck-Winchatz and Riccobono (2007), the majority of students with VI arefollowing general education curricula. However, less than 30 individuals with VI earned ascience and engineering research doctorate on average each year from 2001 to 2009 compared to25,600 people without a disability on average per year during the same time period (NSF, 2012).Lack of higher level degrees in the science and engineering fields do not reflect the fact thatstudents with VI have the same spectrum of cognitive abilities as sighted peers (Kumar,Ramasamy, & Stefanich, 2001) and with appropriate accommodations can

The paper reflects on findings and observations regardinggender groupings in STEM, and how they affect student learning and confidence. In 2009,President Obama's Administration implemented the "Educate to Innovate" program to emphasizeSTEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education. Women and men hold nearlyequal professional positions in the biological sciences, and close to that in math, yet womencomprise less than 30% of the science and engineering workforce as a whole.1 Students as youngas kindergarten express the belief that fields of study such as science and math are “boysubjects.”2 The societal norm that males

Students view and critique these to becomefamiliar with the kinds of representations that the notebook affords and the extent to which thenotebook can tell the story of another engineer’s ideas and outcomes. After this mentor textdiscussion, the students embark on a design task and create their notebooks as they work. Mid-design share-outs or gallery walks of the notebooks are important in this phase. Finally, the thirdphase involves students reviewing their notebooks with their design team, ideally as they preparea report or other more formal written artifact about their design, and the teacher and whole classof students reviewing multiple notebooks to reflect on design processes and phenomena.    Other supporting

As part of the in-class discipline specific activity, the students were divided intogroups by the instructors and were asked to collaborate with group members in dealing with theengineering challenge at hand. This grouping was done to emphasize the importance andnecessity of teamwork in engineering where cooperation impacts the productivity andperformance of the team and also to implement the concept of cooperative learning2,14.

, the question remains, howshould those programs be tailored to best match the needs of teachers in rural areas? Toanswer this, we identify notable areas of low confidence and high benefit from responsesof rural teachers to the survey.From section one, the area of least confidence among rural teachers was their ability toimplement the NGSS in their classrooms, as measured by agreement to the followingstatement: “I feel confident enough in my foundational engineering knowledge levels tobe able to develop and deliver engineering content focused on applications that satisfyengineering standards in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).” (M = 3.8 on a7 point scale, centered at 4) This weakness was reflected across all demographiccategories

as they apply to K-12 education. In 2013, the Next Generation Science Standards reflected the growing interest in K-12 engineering by integrating it with the science curriculum. In contrast to the prior standards, the NGSS explicitly included engineering as a foundational component of the curriculum, with engineering concepts included in the requirements for each grade level. In fact, the final NGSS document body included over three hundred uses of the word engineering. Taking advantage of recent research into science learning, the standards also propose a new view of teaching science. Whereas the earlier standards heavily emphasized science content knowledge, the new standards took a more holistic view of science. Science education

Engineering design projects provide extensive opportunities to engage in practicescommon to both the CSSM and Framework: defining problems, constructing explanations,developing models, using appropriate tools and attending to precision.Engineering design done well requires an unfamiliar role for many teachers. Teachers must shiftfrom evaluative to interpretive perspectives while moving away from guiding students to correctanswers and toward emphasizing exploration and engagement 12.

researchers seek to understand whether and to what extent thedevelopment of engineering “habits of mind and action” in middle school STEM (science,technology, engineering, and math) courses leads to improvements in problem solving abilities,integration of STEM content, and increased interest in engineering. The Next Generation ScienceStandards (NGSS; NGSS Lead States, 2013) call for “raising engineering design to the samelevel as scientific inquiry in science classroom instruction at all levels” (p. 1). Reflecting thisemphasis on engineering as a core idea, recent reforms include proficiency in engineering designas a key component of college and career readiness (Auyang, 2004; Carr, Bennett, & Strobel,2012; Duderstadt, 2008; Kelly, 2014

, conceptual design is considered the most cognitively intensive inthe engineering design process (Kim, 2011). Therefore, throughout the whole design process,students may have engaged in their task differently, behaviorally emotionally and cognitively.Thus, we perceive the videos recording their design processes as temporal data. In order toanalyze such data, we used sequence analysis – a temporal data analysis method (Abbott,1995). Each video was divided into a number of two-minute segments for adequate coding,and each segment was watched and compared with predetermined indicators that reflect thethree types of engagement and thus record the presence of each type of engagement at thesub-group level. Due to space limit of this paper, these indicators

Another pattern revolved around pedagogicalmethods; some proposed that teachers must take extra care to teach to various learning styles andmake curriculum content relatable to students’ lives, and others suggested that instructionalmethods should reflect a natural, traditionally-rooted learning style. A final common thread thatwas mentioned in two of the three groups was the importance of integrating technology intolearning in order to help American Indian students stay connected to the 21st century.
