Special Projects: Meta-Analysis of Information Technology Worker Research

摘要：美国印第安纳大学EIA 0244604；该项目的目的是对NSF信息技术工作小组（ITWF）计划三年以来资助的40个项目进行荟萃分析。此分析将比较、对比并巩固ITWF项目与IT劳动力领域中的其他研究和实施项目的知识。最终的成果将是一份报告，提供计划中的分析，以帮助指导对这些主题的进一步研究，以及向决策者（NSF和其他地方、州和联邦机构；地方、州和联邦级别的决策者；专业协会；学术团体；以及希望在IT领域获得更富有成效的职业生涯的个人）推荐行动。

ABSTRACT: EIA 0244604, Indiana Univ., Wm. Aspray, PIThe purpose of this project is to carry out a meta-analysis of the forty projects funded in NSF's Information Technology Work Force (ITWF) program over its three-year history. This analysis will compare, contrast, and consolidate the knowledge of the ITWF projects with other research and implementation projects in the IT workforce area. The final product is to be a report that provides analysis that is planned to help guide further research on these topics, as well as recommend actions to decision-makers (NSF and other local, state, and federal agencies; policymakers at local, state, and federal levels; professional societies; the academic community; and individuals desiring more productive careers in the IT area).
