Education Development Center, Inc. proposes to conduct a two-year pilot study to address critical methodological challenges inherent in doing longitudinal research linking informal STEM experiences and school achievement: first, addressing selection bias through careful selection of a comparison group that is comparable to the intervention group, and second, developing a qualitative design that both complements and extends the quantitative data collected. The pilot study will lay the groundwork for a future longitudinal study looking at the role of informal science education in youth persistence in STEM courses (Project RISE, Role of Informal Science Education in Youth Persistence in STEM Courses).

教育发展中心建议进行为期两年的试点研究，以解决关键的方法学挑战固有的纵向研究联系非正式的STEM经验和学校成绩：首先，通过仔细选择一个比较组，这是可比的干预组解决选择偏见，第二，开发一个定性设计，既补充和扩展收集的定量数据。试点研究将为未来的纵向研究奠定基础，研究非正式科学教育在青年坚持STEM课程中的作用（项目RISE，非正式科学教育在青年坚持STEM课程中的作用）。
