项目摘要
Women continue to be underrepresented in computer science professions. In 2015, while 57% of professional occupations in the U.S. were held by women, only 25% of computing occupations were held by women. Furthermore, the share of computer science degrees going to women is smaller than any STEM field, even though technology careers are the most promising in terms of salaries and future growth. Research suggests that issues contributing to this lack of computer science participation begin early and involve complex social and environmental factors, including girls' perception that they do not belong in computer science classes or careers. Computer science instruction often alienates girls with irrelevant curriculum; non-collaborative pedagogies; a lack of opportunities to take risks or make mistakes; and a heavy reliance on lecture instead of hands-on, project-based learning. Computer science experiences that employ research-based gender equitable best practices, particularly role modeling, can help diminish the gender gap in participation. In response to this challenge, Twin Cities PBS (TPT), the National Girls Collaborative (NGC) and Code.org will lead Code: SciGirls! Media for Engaging Girls in Computing Pathways, a three-year project designed to engage 8-13 year-old girls in coding through transmedia programming which inspires and prepares them for future computer science studies and career paths. The project includes five new PBS SciGirls episodes featuring girls and female coding professionals using coding to solve real problems; a new interactive PBSKids.org game that allows children to develop coding skills; nationwide outreach programming, including professional development for informal educators and female coding professionals to facilitate activities for girls and families in diverse STEM learning environments; a research study that will advance understanding of how the transmedia components build girls' motivation to pursue additional coding experiences; and a third-party summative evaluation. Code: SciGirls! will foster greater awareness of and engagement in computer science studies and career paths for girls. The PBS SciGirls episodes will feature girls and female computer science professionals using coding to solve real-world challenges. The project's transmedia component will leverage the television content into the online space in which much of 21st century learning takes place. The new interactive PBSKids.org game will use a narrative framework to help children develop coding skills. Drawing on narrative transportation theory and character identification theory, TPT will commission two exploratory knowledge-building studies to investigate: To what extent and how do the narrative formats of the Code: SciGirls! online media affect girls' interest, beliefs, and behavioral intent towards coding and code-related careers? The studies aim to advance understanding of how media builds girls' motivation to pursue computer science experiences, a skill set critical to building tomorrow's workforce. The project team will also raise educators' awareness about the importance of gender equitable computer science instruction, and empower them with best practices to welcome, prepare and retain girls in coding. The Code: SciGirls! Activity Guide will provide educators with a relevant resource for engaging aspiring computer scientists. The new media and guide will also reside on PBSLearningMedia.org, reaching 1.2 million teachers, and will be shared with thousands of educators across the SciGirls CONNECT and National Girls Collaborative networks. The new episodes are anticipated to reach 92% of U.S. TV households via PBS, and the game at PBSKids.org will introduce millions of children to coding. The summative evaluation will examine the reach and impact of the episodes, game and new activities. PIs will share research findings and project resources at national conferences and will submit to relevant publications. This project is funded by the Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program, which seeks to advance new approaches to, and evidence-based understanding of, the design and development of STEM learning in informal environments. This includes providing multiple pathways for broadening access to and engagement in STEM learning experiences, advancing innovative research on and assessment of STEM learning in informal environments, and developing understandings of deeper learning by participants.
女性在计算机科学领域的代表性仍然不足。2015年,美国57%的专业职业由女性担任,但只有25%的计算机职业由女性担任。此外,女性获得计算机科学学位的比例比任何STEM领域都要小,尽管从薪水和未来发展的角度来看,技术职业是最有前途的。研究表明,导致缺乏计算机科学参与的问题很早就开始了,涉及复杂的社会和环境因素,包括女孩认为自己不属于计算机科学课程或职业。计算机科学的教学常常用不相关的课程疏远女孩;这个教育学;缺乏冒险或犯错的机会;并且严重依赖于讲座,而不是实践,基于项目的学习。采用基于研究的性别平等最佳实践的计算机科学经验,特别是角色建模,可以帮助缩小参与方面的性别差距。为了应对这一挑战,Twin Cities PBS (TPT)、National Girls Collaborative (NGC)和Code.org将共同发起Code: SciGirls!这是一个为期三年的项目,旨在通过跨媒体编程让8-13岁的女孩参与编码,激励她们为未来的计算机科学研究和职业道路做好准备。该项目包括五个新的PBS SciGirls剧集,讲述女孩和女性编码专业人员使用编码解决实际问题;一个新的互动PBSKids.org游戏,让孩子们发展编码技能;全国推广方案,包括非正规教育工作者和女性编程专业人员的专业发展,以促进女孩和家庭在多样化的STEM学习环境中开展活动;一项研究将促进对跨媒体组件如何建立女孩追求额外编码经验的动机的理解;以及第三方总结性评价。代码:SciGirls !将促进女孩对计算机科学研究和职业道路的更大认识和参与。PBS的《科学女孩》节目将介绍女孩和女性计算机科学专业人士使用编码来解决现实世界的挑战。该项目的跨媒体部分将利用电视内容进入网络空间,21世纪的大部分学习都是在这个空间进行的。新的互动PBSKids.org游戏将使用一个叙事框架来帮助孩子们发展编程技能。TPT将利用叙事运输理论和角色识别理论,委托两项探索性知识构建研究来调查:《Code: SciGirls!》的叙事格式在多大程度上以及如何网络媒体影响女孩对编程和编程相关职业的兴趣、信念和行为意图?这些研究旨在促进对媒体如何培养女孩追求计算机科学经验的动机的理解,这是培养未来劳动力的关键技能。项目团队还将提高教育工作者对计算机科学教学性别平等重要性的认识,并向他们提供最佳实践,以欢迎、培养和留住女孩编程。准则:女生!活动指南将为教育工作者提供相关资源,以吸引有抱负的计算机科学家。新媒体和指南也将放在PBSLearningMedia.org上,惠及120万名教师,并将通过SciGirls CONNECT和全国女童合作网络与数千名教育工作者分享。新剧集预计将通过PBS进入92%的美国电视家庭,PBSKids.org上的游戏将向数百万儿童介绍编程。总结性评价将考察剧集、游戏和新活动的影响范围和影响。pi将在国家会议上分享研究成果和项目资源,并将提交给相关出版物。该项目由推进非正式STEM学习(AISL)计划资助,该计划旨在推进非正式环境中STEM学习的设计和开发的新方法和基于证据的理解。这包括提供多种途径,扩大STEM学习经验的获取和参与,推进非正式环境中STEM学习的创新研究和评估,以及发展参与者对深度学习的理解。
