Hawai'i Kumu-Ola: Source of Knowledge Program

位于瓦胡岛的夏威夷马诺阿大学将实施题为“夏威夷Kumu-Ola：知识来源方案”的项目。这个为期五年的TCUP项目将采用俄勒冈州立大学使用的成功的美洲原住民招募和保留模式，以增加STEM研究领域的夏威夷原住民和代表性不足的学生的数量。该项目将努力增加夏威夷原住民和代表不足的学生的数量，方法是：将传统生态知识整合到核心课程中；协助教师和学生建立数学学习社区；为学生提供交流、指导和实习机会；让学生参与实地学习；帮助学生从高中过渡到大学；让学生参与项目推广所使用的电视和互联网媒体的制作和交付。

The University of Hawaii Manoa, located on the island of Oahu, will implement the project entitled: "Hawai'i Kumu-Ola: Source of Knowledge Program". This five-year TCUP project will adapt a successful Native American recruitment and retention model used at Oregon State University to increase the number of Native Hawaiians and underrepresented students in STEM fields of study.The project will endeavor to increase the number of Native Hawaiian and underrepresented students by: integrating traditional ecological knowledge in core courses; assisting teachers and students in the establishment of math learning communities; providing students with exchange, mentoring and internship opportunities; involving students in "hands-on" field-based learning; assisting students in their transition from high school to college; and involving students in the production and delivery of television and internet media used in program outreach.
