Mixed-methods research reveals community engagement fosters sense of belonging in STEM education, suggesting equity improvements among undergraduates.

Key Points

Community engagement efforts promote a sense of belonging, enhancing educational equity for students from diverse backgrounds.
An analysis of baseline data involving 779 students showed that female undergraduates report a higher sense of belonging than their male counterparts, indicating a need for focused interventions.
Using a critical ethnographic approach, researchers assessed community partnerships within STEM education, integrating a family-centered theory of change to transform curricula and teaching practices.
Findings highlight the importance of equitable engagement strategies, particularly in STEM contexts, to improve experiences and outcomes for students from all backgrounds.
