Farinde, A.A., & Lewis, C.W. (2012). The underrepresentation of African American
female students in STEM fields: Implications for classroom teachers. USChina Education Review, B(4), 421-430.
This article states that African American women are underrepresented in the
professional STEM community that is linked to a cultural view of an inferior
race, sex, and class. This cultural view leads to African American female
students being historically under-educated and without the confidence to enter
STEM fields. The authors suggest implementing culturally relevant teaching
practices that will undo the cultural biases and create a more equitable learning
environment for African American female students.
Toglia, T. V. (2013). Gender equity issues in CTE and STEM education. Tech
Directions, 72(7), 14-17.
In this article, the author asserts that teacher attitudes about female student
achievement and opportunities are a major factor in how well students perform
and how far female students go in the CTE and STEM fields. There is also a
gap between access to work and education for women compared to those
available to men. The author suggests several strategies that will broaden these
opportunities for female students and women.
