项目摘要

The Supporting Computational Algorithmic Thinking (SCAT) project at Spelman College includes activities that develop computational thinking and encourage middle school, African-American girls to consider careers in computer science. Over a three-year period, the girls attend summer camp sessions of two weeks where they learn to design interactive games. They participate in workshops, field trips, and game-design competitions. Experts in Computational Algorithmic Thinking as well as undergraduate, computer science majors at Spelman College guide the middle-school students in their design of games and exploration of related STEM careers.Research on the development of Computational Algorithmic Thinking is an integral part of the project. The researcher is investigating how middle-school girls develop computational thinking and problem solving skills. Game design has been shown to be an area that is attractive to adolescents and it requires extensive problem solving and computational algorithmic thinking. Within the context of designing games individually and within groups, the researcher is assessing how the girls develop computational algorithmic thinking, and what difficulties they experience. Researchers are also assessing how the project experiences influence the students' self-perceptions of themselves as problem solvers. At the same time, the girls engaged in educational experiences where they are expected to gain knowledge in mathematics, programming, and reasoning, as well as game design. Research data consists of artifacts that the students have created, observations, participant journals, and interviews.Computational Algorithmic Thinking is an essential skill for most STEM careers. African-American women are underrepresented in many STEM fields and especially in computer science. The goals of the project are to prepare girls with these essential skills and to increase their confidence in participating in STEM education. The project is also exposing participating girls to a wide variety of STEM careers. In addition, the materials, lesson plans, and activities generated in the project are available to be used, without charge, by other groups interested in designing similar programs.
斯佩尔曼学院的支持计算数学思维(SCAT)项目包括发展计算思维和鼓励中学非裔美国女孩考虑计算机科学职业的活动。 在三年的时间里,女孩们参加为期两周的夏令营,在那里她们学习设计互动游戏。 他们参加研讨会,实地考察和游戏设计比赛。Spelman College计算机科学专业本科生和计算数学思维专家指导中学生设计游戏和探索相关STEM职业。研究计算数学思维的发展是该项目的一个组成部分。 研究者正在调查中学女生如何发展计算思维和解决问题的能力。 游戏设计已被证明是一个对青少年有吸引力的领域,它需要广泛的问题解决和计算算法思维。在单独和小组设计游戏的背景下,研究人员正在评估女孩如何发展计算算法思维,以及她们遇到了什么困难。 研究人员还评估了项目经验如何影响学生对自己作为问题解决者的自我认知。 与此同时,女孩们参加了教育活动,在那里她们有望获得数学、编程和推理以及游戏设计方面的知识。 研究数据由学生创建的工件,观察,参与者日志和访谈组成。计算数学思维是大多数STEM职业的基本技能。 非裔美国妇女在许多STEM领域,特别是计算机科学领域的代表性不足。 该项目的目标是让女孩具备这些基本技能,并增强她们参与STEM教育的信心。 该项目还使参与的女孩接触到各种各样的STEM职业。 此外,在项目中生成的材料、课程计划和活动可供其他有兴趣设计类似项目的团体免费使用。
