项目摘要

Miami Dade College (MDC) InterAmerican Campus will implement the five-year STEM-Mia (or "My STEM" in Spanish) project to promote increased success, retention, and degree completion of 45 academically talented, low-income students. Students will be recruited and supported in three cohorts of 15 students. Students pursuing associates degrees in biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, and engineering will be supported while at MDC. Through program activities, including mentoring, the students will be encouraged to transfer to an upper-division baccalaureate program, and provided support for that transition. STEM-Mia will support students with GPAs of at least 3.0 who are enrolled full-time at MDC. In addition to scholarships, the program includes the following high-impact practices: undergraduate research experiences; advising and mentoring by STEM faculty; implementation of academic pathways and early alert systems; year-round STEM colloquia; and extensive assistance in transfer to four-year institutions. STEM-Mia will broaden the participation of Hispanics and other underrepresented students, including first generation-in-college students in STEM fields and careers. In addition, it will present a model for other two-year Hispanic-Serving Institutions that are interested in increasing student participation, retention, and success in STEM. More importantly, the project will help address the critical STEM workforce crisis, by graduating increasing numbers of well-trained and competent professionals in these fields.The Leadership Team will conduct a curricular redesign of two interdisciplinary courses focused on transferring to four-year institutions and STEM content infused with social cognitive career theory (SCCT)-based interventions. Employing SCCT as a framework, the project seeks to advance the body of research on low-income, community college students in STEM education by focusing on science support activities and psychological interventions. STEM-Mia will generate knowledge about student success and degree attainment in STEM and yield understanding of factors that will lead to improved retention of students in STEM programs at a two-year Hispanic-serving institution. The two primary research questions are (1) How does the provision of financial assistance (scholarships and summer stipends) and curricular/co-curricular supports to academically-talented students from low-income families affect their (a) retention in STEM majors, (b) year-to-year retention in college, and (c) on-time graduation, when compared to a similarly matched group of students? and (2) How do psychosocial constructs such as math/science self-efficacy, science identity, and leadership/teamwork capabilities of low-income, academically-talented STEM students change over time when provided STEM-specific academic supports and SCCT-based interventions? The STEM-Mia project will examine the effectiveness of a model that scales and adapts integrated approaches for promoting student engagement and success for a demographic that has been historically underrepresented in STEM.

迈阿密戴德学院 (MDC) 美洲校区将实施为期五年的 STEM-Mia（西班牙语为“我的 STEM”）项目，以促进 45 名具有学术才华的低收入学生取得更大的成功、保留率和完成学位。学生将分为三组，每组 15 名学生，并为其提供支持。攻读生物学、物理、化学、数学、计算机科学和工程学副学士学位的学生在 MDC 期间将得到支持。通过包括指导在内的项目活动，将鼓励学生转入高年级学士学位课程，并为这一过渡提供支持。 STEM-Mia 将支持 GPA 至少为 3.0 且在 MDC 就读的全日制学生。除了奖学金之外，该计划还包括以下高影响力的实践：本科生研究经历； STEM 教师的建议和指导；实施学术途径和早期预警系统；全年 STEM 座谈会；以及为转入四年制院校提供广泛的援助。 STEM-Mia 将扩大西班牙裔和其他代表性不足的学生的参与，包括 STEM 领域和职业的第一代大学生。此外，它还将为其他有兴趣提高 STEM 学生参与度、保留率和成功的两年制西班牙裔服务机构提供一个模型。更重要的是，该项目将帮助解决关键的 STEM 劳动力危机，让越来越多的这些领域训练有素、有能力的专业人员毕业。领导团队将对两门跨学科课程进行课程重新设计，重点是转入四年制院校，并在 STEM 内容中注入基于社会认知职业理论 (SCCT) 的干预措施。该项目以 SCCT 为框架，旨在通过重点关注科学支持活动和心理干预，推进 STEM 教育中低收入社区大学生的研究。 STEM-Mia 将生成有关学生在 STEM 方面取得成功和获得学位的知识，并了解有助于提高学生在两年制西班牙裔服务机构 STEM 项目中的保留率的因素。两个主要研究问题是（1）与类似匹配的学生群体相比，向来自低收入家庭的有学术才华的学生提供经济援助（奖学金和暑期津贴）和课程/课外支持如何影响他们（a）在 STEM 专业的保留率，（b）每年在大学的保留率，以及（c）按时毕业？ (2) 当提供针对 STEM 的学术支持和基于 SCCT 的干预措施时，低收入、有学术天赋的 STEM 学生的数学/科学自我效能、科学认同和领导/团队合作能力等心理社会结构如何随着时间而变化？ STEM-Mia 项目将检验一个模型的有效性，该模型可扩展和调整综合方法，以促进历史上在 STEM 中代表性不足的人群的学生参与和成功。
