Abstract

This paper examines how working with sewable, programmable electronics embedded in textiles (e-textiles) impacted the self-perceptions and actions of two middle school girls from non-dominant communities as they navigated their place within science class. Using analytic induction (Erickson, 1986), we explore the phenomena around their experiences and the influence of their teachers’ perceptions. Findings indicate that the personalizable nature of e-textiles created a meaningful opportunity for students to engage in science class in a new way.

公平参与STEM：利用电子纺织品挑战非优势女孩在学校科学中的定位

本文研究了使用嵌入纺织品中的可缝制、可编程电子产品（电子纺织品）如何影响两名来自非主流社区的中学生在科学课上的自我认知和行为。运用分析归纳法（Erickson，1986），我们探讨了围绕他们的经历的现象以及他们的老师的看法的影响。研究结果表明，电子教材的个性化为学生以一种新的方式参与科学课堂创造了一个有意义的机会。
