Some recent policy developments in American education have placed unprecedented pressure on schools to meet a specific set of academic standards, and produce evidence of learning using standardized tests as the assessment tool. As the United States prepares to reposition itself as a global leader through increased scientific and technological advancement, there remains a critical shortage of domestic talent in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields (PCAST, 2010; PCAST, 2012). America is rapidly giving depth to a STEM crisis that is systematically feeding the issue that will benefit foreign countries and companies, at her own expense. Americans are exceling at much slower rates in STEM fields compared to some other countries. "Our Nation is at risk. Our once unchallenged preeminence in commerce, industry, science, and technological innovation is being overtaken by competitors throughout the world" (Garnder, 1983). Although my research is qualitative in nature, I performed a meta-ethnographic study based on a meta-analysis of dissertations related to the disparities of minority girls in STEM careers and education. The existing gender gap in STEM fields remains a problem globally because it reduces the gender diversity of human resources in those fields, and it negatively affects how females view themselves as science achievers and learners. Exploring and understanding what factors contribute to the gender gap in STEM education is essential to maintaining competitiveness in a globalized world. Today's society has proven that it is time to put more focus on not only educating young girls, but also on how we go about educating them. In the United States of America, a gender gap persists that effects global competitiveness. Females are underrepresented at the collegiate level in the STEM fields as a whole, but what is even more alarming are the percentages of minority females in STEM, of which African American females represent only a small portion. Considering the existing gaps in current research, the barriers influencing the lack of recruitment and retention of African American females in the STEM fields guided this research. Further, this study aims to provide contributions, insights, and practices to support female African American students who have expressed an interest in science and math. Accomplishments such as these could lead to understanding factors related to the learning environment, interest, and the development of a STEM identity for this particular group of girls that potentially provides the necessary basis for an increase in number and influence on the success of African American girls to become STEM leaders in education and in the workforce.
