The lack of proper representation of women of color in the field of bilingual science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) is a crucial matter when addressing the needs of the US as a country moving toward diversity and inclusion. The research project represented in this paper investigates and addresses the need for teacher preparation courses that will adequately set up their bilingual preservice teachers to enter into the field with the proper background experiences to engage their future students in STEM related lessons. Findings reveal the negative ideologies related to gender bias found in teacher education, the importance of STEM related women empowerment, and how those vested in STEM education must continue to debunk the impostor syndrome felt by students in STEM related fields. Despite the challenges present for women in bilingual teacher preparation programs in STEM, we must continue to create sanctuaries where students of color can thrive in environments that are conducive to their unique experiences and fulfill their learning needs in STEM.
Resúmen
La falta de representación adecuada de las mujeres bilingües de color en el campo de la ciencia, la tecnología, la ingeniería y las matemáticas (STEM) es una cuestión crucial a la hora de abordar las necesidades de los Estados Unidos como país que avanza hacia la diversidad y la inclusión. El proyecto de investigación representado en este trabajo investiga y aborda la necesidad de cursos de preparación de maestros que preparen adecuadamente a sus maestros bilingües en formación para entrar en el campo con las experiencias de fondo adecuadas para involucrar a sus futuros estudiantes en lecciones relacionadas con STEM. Los resultados revelan las ideologías negativas relacionadas con los prejuicios de género que se encuentran en la formación del profesorado, la importancia del empoderamiento de las mujeres relacionadas con STEM, y cómo los que se dedican a la educación STEM deben seguir eliminando el síndrome del impostor que sienten los estudiantes en los campos relacionados con STEM. A pesar de los desafíos presentes para las mujeres en los programas de preparación de maestros bilingües en STEM, debemos continuar creando santuarios donde los estudiantes de color puedan prosperar en ambientes que sean conducentes a sus experiencias únicas y satisfagan sus necesidades de aprendizaje en STEM.
