Multiculturalism in Math, Technology, and the Sciences Reaching out to more diverse populations

Workshop Outline Objectives of the workshop “Show me the data!” Exploring perceived causes and research results Sample classroom resources Exploring possible solutions Other resources Where do we go from here?

Looking at the Data What do the NFS figures tell us? Does this match our experience at PSU? Look at PSU data (Thanks to Nick Mathis!) Conclusions?

Why aren’t women and minorities attracted to certain fields? Learning style issues Look at learning style issues Disconnect between science and society Women and minorities feeling and being excluded How many women mathematicians, scientists, and computer scientists can you name?

Classroom resources Relational learning in mathematics Relational learning in science Relational learning in computer science

What ideas do you have about appealing to a wider audience? Acknowledge the legitimacy of different cognitive styles Set up experiences for students to engage in these alternate cognitive styles and emphasize value of these approaches Highlight contributions of women, racial and ethnic minorities, and persons with disabilities
