Collaborative Research: BPC-DP: Practices Aggregation, Infrastructure, and Retrieval Service for Broadening Participation in Computing (PAIRS)

摘要：科罗拉多大学博尔德分校PI Lecia Barker -科罗拉多矿业学院PI Tracy Camp -加州大学伯克利分校PI Alice Agogino扩大计算参与的实践聚合、基础设施和检索服务（PAIRS）这个合作项目建立了一个教育资源和实践的数字资源库，这些资源和实践在增加代表性不足的群体对信息技术的参与方面显示出了有效性。三个合作机构，科罗拉多大学博尔德分校、科罗拉多矿业学院和加州大学伯克利分校正在开发实践聚合、基础设施和检索服务，以扩大参与计算（PAIRS）资源。该项目包括资源引擎的技术开发以及数据组织、评级系统和审查过程。这项工作的核心是让用户社区参与测试pair资源的可用性，并对资源的有效使用进行试点。将通过各种传播方法和外联方案向教育工作者和其他人提供pair。这项计划的智力价值在于它有潜力支持研究团体进行研究，以增加代表性不足的群体对计算机的参与，并为那些制定干预措施以扩大参与的人提供必要的证据。在资源中开发最佳实践材料的研究和审查也提供了有效战略的中心来源以及可靠的、基于研究的信息体系。项目团队在这个项目的各个方面都有优秀的专业知识，应该开发一个资源，因为它将被集成到计算社区中。该项目更广泛的影响在于，它有可能影响许多旨在扩大参与范围的项目，从而从根本上在增加计算机参与方面发挥作用。虽然有许多有效的做法可以提高人们对计算机的参与度，但代表性不足仍然存在，这将继续成为发展多样化的计算机劳动力以满足我们国家未来需求的主要挑战。该组织编制了一套高质量的材料，并提供获取和使用这些材料的机会，从而大大增加了其他人选择适当的可靠资源来解决扩大参与计算的问题的机会。

ABSTRACTCNS 0634338 - PI Lecia Barker, Univ. of Colorado - BoulderCNS 0634278 - PI Tracy Camp, Colorado School of MinesCNS 0634502 - PI Alice Agogino, Univ. of California - BerkeleyTITLE: Collaborative Research: BPC-DP: Practices Aggregation, Infrastructure, and Retrieval Service for Broadening Participation in Computing (PAIRS)This collaborative project builds a digital repository of educational resources and practices shown to be effective in increasing the participation of underrepresented groups in information technology. Three collaborating institutions, the University of Colorado - Boulder, the Colorado School of Mines, and the University of California - Berkeley are developing Practices Aggregation, Infrastructure, and Retrieval Service for Broadening Participation in Computing (PAIRS) resource. The project includes technical development of the resource engine as well as data organization, a rating system, and a review process. Central to the effort is the engagement of a user community to test the usability of the PAIRS resource as well as to pilot effective uses of the resource. PAIRS is to be made available to educators and others through a variety of dissemination methods and outreach programs.The intellectual merit of this project lies in its potential to support both the research community conducting research on increasing the participation of underrepresented groups in computing as well as to provide essential evidence to those developing intervention implementations for broadening participation. The research and review in developing the best practice materials in the resource also provide a central source of effective strategies as well as a credible, research based body of information. The project team has excellent expertise in all aspects of this project and should develop a resource for which there is a great need within the computing community into which it will be integrated.The broader impacts of the project lie with the potential to impact many projects aimed at broadening participation and thus fundamentally play a role in increasing participation in computing. While many effective practices for increasing participation in computing exist and are available, underrepresentation persists and continues to be a major challenge to developing the diverse computing workforce needed to meet our national needs for the future. PAID develops a set of quality materials and provides access and visibility to them, thus greatly increasing the opportunities for others to choose appropriate sound resources to address broadening participation in computing.
