two research questions, we designed a survey, sent it to K-12 computing educationresearchers, and then analyzed the results.3.1 Survey DesignWe began our survey design by modifying the survey used by McGill et al. due to its similarnature of exploring barriers in CER [32]. Our survey differs by explicitly considering barriers inK-12 computing education.Our survey had four primary sections: Research Background, CAPE Research Focus, Barriers toConducting Research, and Participant Demographic Characteristics. In the Research Backgroundsection participants were asked what age and school group they conducted research with, whatrole(s) they identified as in the K-12 CER community, and what communities (e.g. HistoricallyMarginalized Racial Groups
, or b) faculty do not know about the workshops and as a result, do notattend.A few faculty differentiated high quality teaching from inclusive teaching by reasoning (eitherfor themselves or for their institution) that high quality teaching is related to end of courseevaluations. To that point, Maria, professor of chemical engineering noted, “for my institution,high quality teaching means good scores from student[s], which I don’t necessarily think is highquality or inclusive…student ratings do not include aspects of access and inclusion.”Of note, Tanya, an associate professor of chemistry, expressed that some faculty feel that highquality teaching means more work and inclusive teaching is less rigorous. Specifically, she said:“I don’t know

As engineering fields welcomemore students from diverse backgrounds into their ranks, librarians who can maintain aninclusive classroom, along with the use of instructional activities that engage every learner, willhelp those students believe that they belong and can succeed as future engineers. The result willhopefully be new engineers unafraid to apply innovative solutions to the problems they face.References[1] National Science Foundation, “Higher Education in Science and Engineering.” https://ncses.nsf.gov/pubs/nsb202332/characteristics-of-s-e-degree-recipients (accessed Jan. 30, 2024).[2] V

for the retention of first-year students [10]. A report entitled“STEM Students & Their Sense of Belonging: S-STEM Programs’ Practices & EmpiricallyBased Recommendations” identifies cohort experiences as an important factor in academicintegration and success [9]. Offering retention programs is valuable, but if students do not attendor participate, they will not receive the maximum benefits that these programs can provide.Students are more likely to participate in retention programs if they feel a sense of communitywithin the institution [9]. Furthermore, female engineering students, who have been found tohighly value the sense of connectedness, benefit from the positive impact of a supportivecommunity, enhancing their resilience. Thus
