WIDER:Planning: GRASP: GW Reform and Advancement of STEM-education Practices

这一更广泛的规划项目正在通过利用成熟的组织变革框架促进基于证据的教学来应对STEM中的学生学习、多样性和留住方面的挑战。该项目是由一个教员团队实施的，他们在转变教员教育实践方面积累了深度和广度的专业知识。该小组正在与STEM十个部门的同事合作，制定一个框架，在其中试点使用四种有效的教学方法，作为更大实施阶段的前奏。这四种教学方法是：(1)同行教学；(2)扩大规模；(3)混合学习和翻转课堂；(4)在线定制数学辅导，以配合数学和统计课程。为了实现这一转变，该项目将重点关注教师对学生学习的核心信念，以此作为寻找转型机会的一种手段。该项目还将依赖于GW经过验证的变革过程，如教师学习社区，以及教育界建议的组织变革方法，如基于关注的采用模式(CBAM)。该项目将促进教师之间的合作，以适应STEM教育学的未来发展，并在校园内形成变革的推动者。该项目还将寻求了解在招收和留住来自非主要和代表性不足群体的学生方面的核心问题，以及通过使用循证教学法影响学生在非主要STEM课程中的学习。这个项目开发的变化过程和材料可以作为其他大学的榜样。

This WIDER planning project is addressing the challenges of student learning, diversity, and retention in STEM by promoting evidenced-based pedagogies with proven organizational change frameworks. The project is being implemented by a team of faculty with a depth and breadth of accumulated expertise in transforming faculty educational practices. The team is working work with colleagues in ten STEM departments to develop a framework in which to pilot the use of four effective pedagogies, as a prelude to a larger implementation phase. The four pedagogies are: (1) Peer-instruction; (2) SCALE-UP; (3) Blended learning and flipped classrooms; and (4) Online customized tutoring in mathematics to accompany mathematics and statistics coursework. To achieve the transformation, the project will focus on core faculty beliefs about student learning as a means for identifying opportunities for transformation. The project will also rely both on proven transformative processes at GW, such as faculty learning communities, as well as organizational change approaches recommended in the education community, such as the Concerns Based Adoption Model (CBAM). The project will forge the collaborations among faculty needed to adopt future developments in STEM pedagogy, and to form an agent of transformative change on campus. This project will also seek to understand the core issues in recruiting and retaining students from non-dominant and underrepresented groups, as well as impact student learning in non-major STEM courses through the use of evidence-based pedagogies. The change processes and materials developed in this project can serve as a model at other universities.
