Conference Title Research Integration Early

项目摘要

The adoption and sustained use of research-based instructional strategies are more likely to occur when institutions create environments and structures to support faculty efforts to switch to them. The Division of Undergraduate Education has created several grant opportunities to support institutional transformation in STEM instruction by providing institutional grants under the WIDER program during 2012 and 2013 and thereafter in the IUSE: EHR program in the Institutional and Community Transformation track. (WIDER stood for Widening the Implementation and Demonstration of Evidence-Based Reforms. IUSE: EHR stands for Improving Undergraduate STEM Education in the EHR Directorate.) This conference will assemble Principal Investigators and co-Principal Investigators on projects supported by those two programs, as well as allied NSF programs under the NSF-wide IUSE framework, e.g. IUSE: GEOPATHS, IUSE: RED, and IUSE: POLAR. To save transportation costs, it will piggyback on a national meeting of NSF grant recipients in an array of the aforementioned programs past and present. This meeting is scheduled for the spring, 2016. Following NSF's 4-year focus on transforming institutions through grants in order to overcome intra-institutional barriers to adopting research-based instructional strategies, there is now a substantial number of institutions engaged in spreading the use of evidence-based teaching approaches and associated efforts in assessment and evaluation. Each institution is engaged in a partly unique set of activities to increase and support the spread of research-based practices. The structure of the conference is designed to determine how different approaches are working in different institutional contexts in order to identify those that are robust to institutional setting and those that are more idiosyncratic to the host institution. In a single institution there is a tendency for the research team in each institution to be heavily influenced by the idiosyncrasies of their institution. By connecting across institutions, teams will be able to develop a broader perspective on the effectiveness of various strategies that can be deployed in service of the main goal of spreading effective teaching practices across the instructional faculty. The primary purpose of this project is to conduct a research integration study of the preliminary findings of the projects supported by WIDER and IUSE: EHR. This integration study will provide a venue for research teams to compare results and share their understandings of what is working. The conference will lead to three outcomes: identification of successful strategies across a variety of institutional contexts, a synthesis of findings, and a network of sponsored projects for further follow-up. This conference will use the experience and expertise of the Principal Investigators through research integration by dialogue, using the approaches of a consensus conference and a consensus development panel through use of break-out sessions. A 7-step meta-ethnographic approach will be used.

当机构创造环境和结构来支持教师转向研究型教学策略时，采用和持续使用基于研究的教学策略更有可能发生。本科教育部在 2012 年和 2013 年期间在 WIDER 计划下以及此后在机构和社区转型轨道中的 IUSE：EHR 计划中提供机构拨款，从而创造了多个拨款机会来支持 STEM 教学的机构转型。（WIDER 代表“扩大以证据为基础的改革的实施和示范”。IUSE：EHR 代表“在 EHR 理事会中改善本科生 STEM 教育”。）本次会议将聚集主要研究人员和联合主要研究人员，研究这两个项目以及 NSF 范围内 IUSE 框架下的联合 NSF 项目支持的项目，例如： IUSE：地理路径、IUSE：红色和 IUSE：极地。为了节省运输成本，它将在过去和现在的一系列上述项目中利用国家科学基金会拨款接受者全国会议的成果。这次会议定于 2016 年春季举行。继 NSF 四年来重点关注通过拨款来改造机构，以克服采用基于研究的教学策略的机构内部障碍时，现在有大量机构致力于推广循证教学方法的使用以及评估和评价方面的相关工作。每个机构都从事一系列部分独特的活动，以增加和支持基于研究的实践的传播。会议的结构旨在确定不同的方法如何在不同的机构背景下发挥作用，以便确定哪些方法对机构环境有效，哪些方法对主办机构而言更具特色。在单一机构中，每个机构的研究团队往往会受到其机构特质的严重影响。通过跨机构的联系，团队将能够对各种策略的有效性形成更广泛的视角，这些策略可用于实现在整个教学团队中传播有效教学实践的主要目标。该项目的主要目的是对 WIDER 和 IUSE: EHR 支持的项目的初步结果进行研究整合研究。这项整合研究将为研究团队提供一个比较结果并分享他们对有效方法的理解的场所。会议将产生三项成果：确定跨各种机构背景的成功策略、研究结果的综合以及用于进一步后续行动的赞助项目网络。本次会议将通过对话、共识会议和共识发展小组的方式，通过分组会议的方式，通过研究整合，利用主要研究者的经验和专业知识。将使用 7 步元民族志方法。
