本文介绍了参与式行动研究与变革者谁是从事学术变革在他们的校园通过NSF革命工程和计算机科学系（RED）计划，重点是第一批获奖者。通过REDPAR（RED变革行动研究），一个由NSF资助的罗斯-胡尔曼理工学院和华盛顿大学之间的合作，我们与RED团队合作，调查变革过程，并提供培训和支持。本文讨论了指导研究的研究问题之一，“如何改变代理授权利益相关者制定一个共同的愿景变化？”我们发现，RED团队采取了不同的方式来吸引各自的利益相关者，从与行业咨询委员会等外部利益相关者建立战略伙伴关系，到发起结构性变革以转变其机构的内部文化。我们设想这些结果将1）展示工程和计算机科学部门发起变革的实践，2）帮助其他组织了解不同类型的利益相关者参与如何推动或减缓大规模变革项目。
This research paper describes participatory action research with change agents who are engaged in making academic change on their campuses through the NSF REvolutionizing Engineering and Computer Science Departments (RED) Program, focusing on the first cohort of awardees. Through REDPAR (RED Participatory Action Research), an NSF-funded collaboration between Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and the University of Washington, we work with the RED teams to investigate the change process and also provide training and support. This paper addresses one of the research questions guiding the study, “How do change agents empower stakeholders to develop a shared vision for change?” We find that the RED teams have pursued different paths to engage their respective stakeholders, from building strategic partnerships with external stakeholders such as industrial advisory boards to initiating structural changes to shift internal culture in their institutions. We envision that these results will 1) demonstrate practices for initiating change in engineering and computer science departments, and 2) help other organizations understand how different types of stakeholder engagement can propel or decelerate a large-scale change project.
