The Qualms and Quarrels with Online Undergraduate Mathematics: The Experiences of African American Male STEM Majors
Jett, Christopher C.
Investigations in Mathematics Learning, v13 n1 p18-28 2021
Equity-related issues are a critical contemporary concern in mathematics education, and one specific area that has been taken up deals with equitable instructional modalities. However, the focus of many of these discussions, meetings, and publications is on K-12 mathematics education. This study reports on one aspect of an ongoing, equity issue in undergraduate mathematics education -- face-to-face versus online mathematics instruction. In so doing, it investigates this issue surrounding online mathematics learning with African American (Both "African American" and "Black" are used interchangeably throughout this article, and these terms refer to students who were born and completed their schooling in the United States.) male Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) majors who have successfully completed the Calculus sequence using a critical race perspective. Findings show that these Black men did not prefer online mathematics instruction. Recommendations are shared to deal with the qualms and quarrels of online mathematics and ultimately better prepare African American male students for STEM majors.
