Short Description

The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore how equity-oriented pedagogy infused with Making activities promoted five non-dominant middle school youths’ attitudes toward science in an after-school program in the Midwestern U.S. The researchers conducted pre- and post-interviews with five students from non-dominant backgrounds, and also administered attitudinal surveys. Additionally, the researchers observed the level of student participation, observed the level of student anxiety by using skin temperature biofeedback, and examined student artifacts.
