Abstract

Abstract:Drawing from the experiences of 14 Black students participating in a structured undergraduate research program at either an historically Black university or a predominantly White institution, the authors conducted a secondary data analysis on interview and journal prompt data using Yosso’s community cultural wealth framework to identify sources of capital for, and challenges to, STEM identity formation. This current undertaking is seen as a direct response to what works, in regards to the practices and conduits that directly influence the preparation and recruitment of Black students into STEM majors. This has noteworthy implications for the role that educators and other members of Black students’ communities contribute to their acquisition of cultural capital and subsequently how they develop STEM identities.

我们怎么办?探索在高等教育中影响黑人学生STEM认同发展的挑战和支持来源

摘要:根据14名黑人学生在一所历史上以黑人为主的大学或一所以白人为主的大学参加结构化本科研究项目的经历，作者使用Yosso的社区文化财富框架对访谈和期刊提示数据进行了二次数据分析，以确定STEM身份形成的资本来源和挑战。就直接影响黑人学生进入STEM专业的准备和招聘的做法和渠道而言，目前的这项工作被视为对有效的做法和渠道的直接回应。这对于教育工作者和黑人学生社区的其他成员在他们获得文化资本以及随后如何发展STEM身份方面所起的作用具有重要意义。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Negro Education (JNE), a refereed scholarly periodical, was founded at Howard University in 1932 to fill the need for a scholarly journal that would identify and define the problems that characterized the education of Black people in the United States and elsewhere, provide a forum for analysis and solutions, and serve as a vehicle for sharing statistics and research on a national basis. JNE sustains a commitment to a threefold mission: first, to stimulate the collection and facilitate the dissemination of facts about the education of Black people; second, to present discussions involving critical appraisals of the proposals and practices relating to the education of Black people.
