3External and Internal Aid
Narrative
It is time for the Learner to receive some external aid from the content experts (Tutor; Teacher; Allies), as well as motivational help that gives the support needed for enduring the journey. For instance, if the female student is afraid of male judgments about her present and future performance, and faces various cultural barriers and/or rejections based on gender bias, this is the time to challenge these misconceptions. In order to successfully overcome this step, several female role models in STEM will be presented to the Learner.
