I3 Berkeley Science Connections Program

智力价值i3伯克利科学联系计划(I3BSC)将为传统上代表性不足(UR)的学生搭建从本科生到研究生的桥梁。I3BSC专注于数学和物理科学(MPS)，努力为来自不同背景的学生打开通往现代科学关键领域的大门，在这些领域，少数民族和所有种族的女性代表不足的现象由来已久，而且仍然严重。进入研究生培训开始阶段的新桥梁将建立在本科生和即将入学的研究生的研究经验的基础上，这些研究经验的强度越来越大。研究活动将得到加强，系统地获得系统的学术丰富和专业发展机会和资源，以及由同行、近邻同行和科学家组成的网络，他们在学术道路上更进一步，并将担任导师。I3BSC的目标是通过头两年的博士学习向本科生过渡到研究生院。它关注的是学生进入国会议员的职业生涯，特别是学术生涯，融入并超越留住理科专业和完成学位的目标。I3BSC？S的方法有助于学习和评估。我们将研究干预措施的种类和频率是否以及如何影响科学进步以及特定干预措施的影响。例如，项目的指导方面将提供一个独特的窗口，让我们了解指导如何不仅影响被辅导者，还影响导师。虽然关于课堂教学信念和实践的文献越来越多，但关于学术生活中这个更非正式的方面的文献很少发表。Broader ImpactsI3BSC旨在利用四个独立的NSF项目的高效工作，这些项目现在伯克利分校相互独立，每个项目都以不同的议员纪律策略运作，并针对教育途径上的不同点。I3BSC扩展了每一种四种方法，使它们更统一和一致地适用于加州大学伯克利分校所有攻读MPS系或进入我们任何MPS博士项目的加州大学伯克利分校的学生。I3BSC将创造新的协同效应，扩展以下四个由国家科学基金会支持的关键计划的工作：伯克利？S-加州少数民族参与计划(CAMP)，支持学生在STEM领域的本科生研究经历、社区建设和专业发展；伯克利？S？国家科学基金会-AGEP计划，伯克利边缘计划，增加URM博士学位产量，并将博士生和博士后研究员提升为教授；这是一个由NSF支持的计划，旨在指导物理学方面的低年级学生，指南针和物理科学中的女性协会联合指导计划；NSF-统计研究探索计划，这是一个为期一周的强化计划，让本科生探索统计学的前沿研究。我们将包括后209号提案定义下增加多样性的所有群体的学生(URM、妇女、残疾学生、第一代到大学)，因为这些群体在数学和物理科学中的代表性严重不足，主要关注和优先考虑那些有资格参加夏令营、Compass-SWPS-Purna和AGEP的伯克利学生。

Intellectual MeritThe I3 Berkeley Science Connections Program (I3BSC) will build bridges from the undergraduateto graduate levels for traditionally underrepresented (UR) students.I3BSC focuses on the mathematical and physical sciences (MPS) in an effort to open the door forstudents from diverse backgrounds to key fields of modern science, in which underrepresentationof both ethnic minorities and women of all ethnicities is long-standing and remains severe. Newbridges to and into the beginning years of graduate training will be built on research experiencesof increasing intensity for undergraduates and incoming graduate students. The research activitieswill be fortified with systematic access to structured academic enrichment and professionaldevelopment opportunities and resources, as well as a network of peers, near peers and scientistswho are further advanced on the academic pathway and will serve as mentors.I3BSC targets the transition into graduate school for undergraduates in their junior and senioryears and through the first two years of doctoral study. It focuses on the advancement of studentsinto MPS careers, particularly academic careers, incorporating and also going beyond the goals ofretention in science majors and completion of degrees.I3BSC?s approaches lend themselves to study and evaluation. We will examine if and how thevariety and frequency of interventions effects UR advancement in science and the influence ofparticular interventions. For example, the mentoring aspect of the project will provide a uniquewindow into learning how mentoring affects not only the mentee, but also the mentor. Whilethere is a growing set of literature around instructional beliefs and practices within the classroomthere is little published about this more informal aspect of academic life.Broader ImpactsI3BSC is designed to take the highly effective work of four separate NSF programs that now workindependently from each other at Berkeley, each operating with different MPS disciplinary fociand targeting different points on the educational pathway. I3BSC extends each of the fourapproaches to make them more uniformly and consistently available for all UR students at UCBerkeley who are majoring in any of the MPS departments at Berkeley or are entering any of ourMPS doctoral programs.I3BSC will create new synergies that extend the work of these four key NSF-supported programs:Berkeley?s NSF-California Alliance for Minority Participation Program (CAMP), which supportsstudents across STEM fields in undergraduate research experiences, community building andprofessional development; Berkeley?s NSF-AGEP program, The Berkeley Edge, which increasesURM doctoral degree production, and advances PhD students and post-doctoral fellows toprofessorial careers; a NSF-supported program for mentoring lower-division students in Physics,the Compass and Society for Women in the Physical Sciences joint mentoring program; TheNSF-Explorations in Statistics Research Program, which is an intensive week-long program forundergraduates to explore cutting edge research in Statistics. We will include students from allgroups that add diversity under the post-Proposition 209 definition (URMs, women, students withdisabilities, first-generation to college), because these groups are severely underrepresented in themathematical and physical sciences, with a primary focus and priority given to those Berkeleystudents who are eligible for participation in CAMP, Compass-SWPS-PURNA, and AGEP.
