摘要在美国，政府和慈善组织正在稳步努力，以增加有色人种学生在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域的代表性。在多年的结果参差不齐之后，研究人员和教育工作者开始质疑扩大参与度的所有概念都适用于同一标准。越来越多的项目正在通过在STEM课程中吸收处于文化背景的实践社区的专门知识以及支持这些课程的教育技术来挑战普遍主义假设。虽然这项研究显示了在提高年轻人对STEM的兴趣和表现方面有希望的结果，但关于这些课程和技术如何也能造福于最初录取其专业知识的社区的研究很少。本文详细介绍了连接STEM和非裔美国人美容的教育技术的设计。我们报道了一个混合方法的研究项目，该项目由一群以非裔美国人为主的美容师进行。收集定性和定量数据，研究他们在使用技术前后对STEM的态度。我们的结果表明，美容师的态度发生了积极的变化。我们以在教育技术研究和开发中尊重未被充分代表的实践社区的知识体系的批判性讨论结束。
Abstract In the U.S. there are steady efforts by governmental and philanthropic organizations to increase the representation of students of colour in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). After years of mixed results, researchers and educators have started to question one size fits all notions of broadening participation. An increasing number of projects are challenging universalist assumptions by enrolling the expertise of culturally situated communities of practice in STEM lessons and the educational technologies that support them. While this research shows promising results for improving young people’s interest and performance in STEM, there has been little research on how these lessons and technologies might also benefit the communities whose expertise were originally enrolled. This paper details the design of educational technologies that bridge STEM and African American cosmetology. We report on a mixed-methods research project, conducted with a group of predominantly African American cosmetologists. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected to study their attitudes toward STEM before and after working with the technologies. Our results suggest positive changes in the cosmetologists’ attitudes. We end with a critical discussion about respecting the knowledge systems of underrepresented communities of practice in educational technology research and development.
