For example,Tomko et al.’s study (2021) identified key aspects of women’s pathways into universitymakerspaces, which also identified important themes of community and relationships [18]. Wewill also explore how our makerspace definitions can intersect with existing work on definingmore forms of participation in making to include more social practices (e.g., [9], [19]).ConclusionThe knowledge and collaborative assistance aspect of makerspaces, as evidenced by the frequentuse of terms like “people,” “know,” “go,” “things,” “stuff,” “help,” and “engineering” in bothmen’s and womxn’s text, suggests a common theme of individuals going to

This approach enables us to examine the structure of project teams whilealso examining the institutional and contextual factors that contribute to team climate, and to thedevelopment of group norms that affect team interactions. Structuration accounts for theinfluence of institutional factors such as rules or norms of what is “acceptable” or “appropriate”behavior within a specific social context, while also affording the actors within that contextagency to effect those structural influences. This theory envisions a reflexive relationship inwhich institutional influences constrain and enable

The samples Figure 1: A snapshot of the immersive simulation model used in the sample ISBL moduleused in our analysis include two sections of remote delivery and two sections of in-persondelivery. The same instructor provided identical materials in both delivery modes.Four ISBL modules are integrated into the course to mimic real-life information technology anddatabase problems. Students are given two weeks to complete each ISBL assignment followingthe lecture on the respective topic(s). Each ISBL module includes a description of the system andthe database problem(s) to be solved. In each module, the
