2020 年，超过 116,000 名学生参加了大学先修计算机科学原理 (AP CSP) 考试。尽管黑人女学生参加 AP CSP 课程的比例高于 AP CSA 课程，但她们的比例仍然不成比例地低于黑人女学生的学校人数。在这份经验报告中，我们介绍了 NSF 资助的一项工作的早期成果，该项目为来自阿拉巴马州农村、城市和郊区社区的黑人女学生提供 AP CSP 准备经验和 CS 职业意识。该项目的核心是一个由对 AP CSP 有深入了解的黑人女教师推动的同伴学习社区 (PLC)。密集的暑期体验通过文化响应式、基于项目的学习体验，旨在将先进的计算概念与学生的个人生活和职业抱负联系起来，为学生参加 AP CSP 课程做好准备。互动和支持在整个学年持续进行，以促进 AP 考试的准备。 PLC 成员之间的在线互动有助于减轻年轻有色人种女性在接受计算机科学教育时通常遇到的障碍，提高她们在计算机科学方面的毅力和成功。我们研究了学生的项目参与是否提高了计算机科学的自我效能和感知能力，增加了积极的态度、意识和追求计算机科学和职业的愿望，并减轻了在计算机科学领域学习和职业的社会文化障碍。我们的初步发现包括 AP CSP 考试合格率 (87.5%)，在数字上超过了 2020 年全国/全州范围内所有群体的考试合格率（即基于种族、性别及其交集）、黑人女性对 CS 归属感的认知增加，以及计算自我效能感的提高。
In 2020, over 116,000 students took the Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles (AP CSP) Exam. Although Black female students have participated in AP CSP at higher rates than for the AP CSA course, their representation is still disproportionately lower than the school population of Black females. In this Experience Report, we present the early results of an NSF-sponsored effort that provides an AP CSP preparatory experience and CS career awareness to Black female students from rural, urban, and suburban communities in the state of Alabama.At the project's core is a peer-learning community (PLC) facilitated by Black female teachers with deep knowledge of AP CSP. An intensive summer experience prepares students for the AP CSP course through culturally-responsive, project-based learning experiences designed to connect advanced computing concepts to the students' personal lives and career aspirations. Interactions and support continue throughout the academic year to facilitate AP exam readiness. Online interactions among the PLC members serve to mitigate the barriers that young women of color typically encounter when pursuing CS education, increasing their persistence and success in CS.We examined whether students' project participation enhances self-efficacy and perceived competency in CS, increases positive attitudes, awareness, and desire to pursue CS studies and careers, and mitigates perceived socio-cultural barriers to pursue studies and careers in CS. Our initial findings include AP CSP examination qualifying rates (87.5%) that numerically exceeded the 2020 national/statewide rates for all groups (i.e., based on race, gender, and their intersection), increased perceptions of Black females as belonging in CS, and gains in computing self-efficacy.
