Capturing the Essence of a Quarter Century of Efforts to Transform the Undergraduate STEM Learning Environment: What Works and What Next?

评估/研究(91)该项目正在收集和分析故事和数据，这些故事和数据记录和记录了过去25年来从旨在改变本科生科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)学习环境的众多举措中吸取的经验教训。这些课程为其他人继续建立那种吸引学生进入STEM领域并激励他们坚持和成功的本科生自然科学社区提供了路线图。提炼和传播有效的精髓，为那些致力于塑造社会转型所需的创新者和终身学习者的人提供指导。调查员正在准备在PKAL网站上每月发布一系列帖子，这些帖子将累积成一份重要的基于网络的报告。

Assessment/Research (91)The project is gathering and analyzing stories and data that chronicle and document lessons learned from the numerous initiatives directed toward transforming the undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning environment over the last 25 years. These lessons are serving as a roadmap for others continuing to build the kind of undergraduate natural science communities that attract students to STEM fields and motivate them to persist and succeed. Distilling and disseminating the essence of what works provides guidance for those working to shape the innovators and life-long learners needed for a transformational society. The investigator is preparing a series of monthly postings on the PKAL web site that will cumulate in a major web-based report.
