There are far more Anglo teachers graduatinguniversities as public education teachers than American Indians and other underrepresentedminorities [8]. In fact, in academic year 2011-2012 of the 152,000 math teachers and 132,000science teachers in the United States, only 600 and 400 respectively were American Indian,compared to 81,500 and 84,500 respectively for their Anglo peers [8]. This disparity often leavesNative Nations in need of qualified teachers, especially in math and science. The solution hashistorically been to hire teachers from outside the Native Nation, most of who are non-AmericanIndians, to teach primary and secondary school

understood by learning. For each school subject there must be a corresponding academic discipline as represented in the universities. Because the disciplines are dynamic they are concerned as much with “what will be” as with “what was” [14]. That this is so, is illustrated by the great curriculum projects that were undertaken in the sixties and seventies because in the U.S. teachers did not have the resources to undertake such developments which normally be considered to be part of the role of the teacher functioning in this ideology [15]. The scholar academic ideology is teacher centred. Information is conveyed to the mind which reasons about it, as required. Learning is the result of teaching [16]. Because each

Another form of SI consisted oflecturer-led review sessions, which were commonly held before exams in order to reviewmaterial, answer questions, and help students prepare for exams.MethodologyAll data were taken from (1) an IRB-approved survey administered to students enrolled inGeneral Chemistry for Engineers during the Fall 2015 semester and (2) grade and

As a means of checks and balances, this tool’s purported usebecame a way to navigate through qualitative research in a manner that acknowledged therelationship between the researcher as an instrument and the processing of information over thecourse of research projects [8]. This navigation can be conceptualized in practices such as fieldtexts and reflections before, after, and during interaction with research participants as a means toshow proof of consideration of positionality, specifically for communities of color [9].

Along these lines, the ethnographic study of anundergraduate programming course conducted by Secules et al. shows the combined impact of several“mundane and seemingly innocuous” aspects of the course, such as the seating arrangement in lecture andthe status hierarchy when an experienced student was paired with an inexperienced student for a group lab[11]. These aspects of the course all combined to create a culture that projected the implicit message thatthe focus of the study--a female student from a vocational high school--could not succeed in engineering.Lastly, studies have shown that students’ performance in CS is influenced by their learning strategies intheir introductory CS course, which are
