本文讨论了美国国家科学基金会(NSF)在20世纪90年代管理的一项铀浓缩计划的影响的多年研究的初步结果。青年学者计划(YSP)在和1996年期间涉及大约18,000名7-12年级的学生和600名不同的助学金。YSP的目的是将优秀的中学生介绍到科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域，以鼓励他们进入这些领域，从而提高全国STEM劳动力的规模和质量。本文报告了该计划影响研究的第一阶段。这项研究依赖于认知框架理论和定量民族志来确定与阐明该计划的影响相关的关键问题。它涉及探讨资助项目所追求的各种设计考虑因素。它通过对设计这些项目的大学教职员工进行深入采访来做到这一点。这些访谈是第二阶段研究的前奏，即与YSP学生的深入互动，这些学生现在都是39-51岁。认知框架理论提供了语言和隐喻来描述该计划希望刺激的预期变化。量化民族志提供了一个框架，将YSP方案视为一个生态系统，其结构和文化变量可以量化和可视化。
This paper discusses initial results from a multiyear study of the impact of an enrichment program that the US National Science Foundation (NSF) managed in the 1990s. The Young Scholars Program (YSP) involved around 18,000 7th–12thgrade students and 600 separate grants between 1989 and 1996. The purpose of YSP was to introduce high achieving middle and secondary school students to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields to encourage their entry into those fields and thus increase the size and quality of the nation’s STEM workforce. This paper reports on the first phase of the impact study of this program. The study relies on epistemic frame theory and quantitative ethnography to frame key issues relevant to articulating the program’s impact. It involves probing the various design considerations that the funded projects pursued. It does so through in-depth interviews with the university faculty who devised the projects. These interviews are precursor to the second phase of the study, in-depth interaction with the YSP students, all of whom are now age 39–51. Epistemic frame theory provides language and metaphors to describe the shifts in expectations that the program hoped to stimulate. Quantitative ethnography provides a framework to treat the YSP program as an ecosystem with structural and cultural variables that can be quantified and visualized.
