Capacity building: Understanding American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian student outcomes in the STEM education research literature

该项目将对美国印第安人、阿拉斯加原住民和夏威夷原住民以及STEM教育和学习方面的研究进行文献审查，并将土著居民作为一个更大的代表性不足的种族和少数民族群体的一部分进行研究。这个项目的最终教育意义是确定实用的战略，以解决美洲原住民在STEM教育和职业方面极度匮乏的问题。该项目的成果将为未来促进美国印第安人、阿拉斯加原住民和夏威夷原住民参与STEM教育和职业生涯的规划奠定基础。该项目的目标之一是了解如何在更广泛的代表性不足的少数群体讨论中最好地了解美国印第安人、阿拉斯加原住民和夏威夷原住民的STEM经历和保留情况。为了做到这一点，调查人员将进行二次文献审查，旨在确定共同的主题。这一文献综述将导致举办一次STEM教育和土著居民专家讲习班。研讨会参与者将讨论研究的现状，确定研究中的主题和差距，以便制定一项行动计划来指导未来的研究，并为美洲印第安人、阿拉斯加原住民和夏威夷原住民教育组织，如美国印第安人科学与工程学会(AISES)提供最佳实践。

This project will result in a literature review of studies of American Indian, Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiian and STEM education and learning as well as studies that include Indigenous populations as part of a larger underrepresented racial and ethnic minority group. The ultimate educational significance of this project is to identify practical strategies to address the extreme dearth of Native Americans in STEM education and careers. The outcomes of this project will set the stage for future programming to foster the participation of American Indian, Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiian in STEM education and careers.One of the goals of this project is to understand how the STEM experiences and retention of American Indian, Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiian populations can be best understood within the broader underrepresented minority discussion. To do this, the investigators will conduct a secondary literature review aiming to identify common themes. This literature review will lead to a workshop of experts in STEM education and Indigenous populations. The workshop participants will discuss the current state of research, identifying themes and gaps in the research in order to develop an action plan to guide future research as well as provide best practices for American Indian, Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiian educational organizations like the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES).
