Structural and status barriers to participation in mathematics, science, and computer studies: A case study

The purpose of this case study was to explore whether the structure of the curriculum and the status of students acted as barriers to participation in mathematics, science, and computer studies. The setting of the study was a culturally diverse community in the Midwest. Three status classifications, SES, gender, and the combination of SES and gender, were used as lenses to view the curriculum. The transcripts of 254 students were analyzed.
