Herecommends that instructors offer instruction to Black students, using tools like culturallyresponsive pedagogy and developmental mathematics. His position reflects otherrecommendations, such as those by Dimitriu and O’Connor (2004), who advocate for rigorousmathematics and science classes that will improve core competencies of students who may leavehigh schools without the best preparation for STEM majors

note thatthe global agency construct identified here is a true agency measure because all of the students inthis analysis have already indicated they intend on a STEM career. If this were not the case, theview of science's potential to affect the world may not be agential in character. Students' beliefsabout science's impact on their lives coupled with a choice of STEM implies that these studentssee STEM as a way to accomplish change in their world, and, therefore, hold agential beliefsabout science in a personal and/or global sense.Table 4: EFA of Agency Constructs Factor 1 - Factor 2- Statement Uniqueness
