major for her. In engineering, where the cultural perspective is that a stereotypical student is white and male, students often have the unconscious bias that gives white, male students the benefit of the doubt, assuming they are smart and experienced. Socially, Black and brown women are stereotyped as angry or loud. Jamie’s awareness of this stereotype makes her think twice about speaking up. Additionally, disciplinary power also makes her reconsider speaking up— engineering courses are built on teamwork. If she were to speak up and was not supported by her peers because they did not notice anything happening, and her professor mentioned that she should just learn to deal with team dynamics, she

Contextualizing Inclusive Practices in EM PedagogiesInclusive curriculum signifies curricular practices that promote student success across allstudents [56]. The salient characteristics of inclusive practices that the authors have focused onin the third year core classes include representation of diverse STEM figures, providing safespaces for failure, promoting collaboration over competition, and supporting student autonomy.Each of these practices is founded in the literature as ways to support inclusive learningenvironments (e.g., [57], [58]).

The goalof this method is to develop theories or provide new insights into social phenomena.Constructivist grounded theory recognizes that multiple perspectives and social realities existand promotes ongoing analysis and an openness to emerging ideas. Charmaz’s method alsoacknowledges that the researcher plays an active role in the research. As she explains, the resultsmust be firmly grounded in the data, however, the researcher and the research participants arenot external to the process.

’ traditional problem-solving.8 But instructor effects might account forsome of these results, since more dedicated instructors are perhaps more likely to attemptreforms. Mazur’s study at Harvard8 avoided this issue, since he gave the same exam to his ownstudents 6 years apart; but the small gains in problem-solving performance he documented (from63% to 69% correct) could have arisen from his improved skill, developed over six years, atteaching problem-solving efficiently, enabling him to spend some class time on Peer Instructionwithout a trade-off. Furthermore, the lack of any published PER results (that we know of)highlighting a trade-off, such as higher conceptual gains at the expense of lower performance ontraditional problems, could result from

weconceived of the studio courses, the intended aims were: • For faculty to help students connect the dots between the various content courses that students take during the semester and help them see how their learning fits into a broader perspective. The hope was that these connections between courses and their relation to the students’ career fields would result in a transformative learning experience [9]. • For computer students to form a cohort of peer learners early in their academic career. Many studies have shown that students who belong to a community of learners tend to be more engaged and are more likely to be successful in the program [10], [11]. Because military veteran students
