AVELA – A Vision for Engineering Literacy Access: Understanding Why Technology Alone Is Not Enough
CoRR(2024)
摘要
Unequal technology access for Black and Latine communities has been a
persistent economic, social justice, and human rights issue despite increased
technology accessibility due to advancements in consumer electronics like
phones, tablets, and computers. We contextualize socio-technical access
inequalities for Black and Latine urban communities and find that many students
are hesitant to engage with available technologies due to a lack of engaging
support systems. We present a holistic student-led STEM engagement model
through AVELA - A Vision for Engineering Literacy and Access leveraging
culturally responsive lessons, mentor embodied community representation, and
service learning. To evaluate the model's impact after 4 years of mentoring
200+ university student instructors in teaching to 2,500+ secondary school
students in 100+ classrooms, we conducted 24 semi-structured interviews with
college AnonymizedOrganization members. We identify access barriers and provide
principled recommendations for designing future STEM education programs.
