项目摘要
With funding from the National Science Foundation's Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (S-STEM) program, this project will recruit, select, and award 25 scholarships to academically talented low-income undergraduate students in the Department of Natural Science (DNS) at Virginia Union University (VUU). Beyond receiving scholarship support the students will participate in a variety of curricular and co-curricular activities that have proven effective at increasing student retention and graduation rates. The project aims to produce VUU graduates with a greater sense of the contributions they can make to improve life in their communities and the world through the application of STEM research. Since VUU is a Historically Black College or University (HBCU), the success of the project will likely also increase the level of diversity in the scientific community and enhance the connection between diverse communities and the use of science as a tool to solve community issues.The project will adapt evidence-based practices for STEM retention to demonstrate how STEM education and research can align with the interests, goals, and values of the scholars. Such practices include student involvement in undergraduate research, social integration through promotion and management of cohort experiences, and peer tutoring. A key activity will involve engaging scholars at VUU in research projects that simultaneously teach research techniques, make a scientific contribution, and address a social or community concern that is valued by the student. Helping prepare students to exhibit a sense of ownership and develop an awareness of the importance of STEM as a tool, applicable to issues of their concern, will enrich their academic experience. Moreover, the project will expand upon the understanding of how academic programs at small liberal arts institutions can help underrepresented low-income STEM students become successful graduates. In particular, the faculty team leading the project will collect qualitative data (e.g. student interviews) and quantitative data (e.g. grade-point averages, time-to-completion for key courses, self-efficacy measures, persistence measures, etc.) regarding the performance of the scholars. Such data will help the principal investigators (PIs) at VUU generate and disseminate knowledge concerning the impact of project activities. The data gathered from this project will inform recommendations for institutionalization and expansion of project activities at the PIs' institution. In addition, project findings will have implications for education and preparation of talented underrepresented undergraduate STEM students at other small liberal arts institutions.
在美国国家科学基金会科学、技术、工程和数学奖学金 (S-STEM) 计划的资助下,该项目将为弗吉尼亚联合大学 (VUU) 自然科学系 (DNS) 的有学术才华的低收入本科生招募、筛选和颁发 25 份奖学金。除了获得奖学金支持外,学生还将参加各种课程和课外活动,这些活动已被证明可以有效提高学生的保留率和毕业率。该项目旨在培养 VUU 毕业生,让他们更加认识到自己可以通过 STEM 研究的应用为改善社区和世界的生活做出贡献。由于 VUU 是一所历史悠久的黑人学院或大学 (HBCU),该项目的成功也可能会提高科学界的多样性水平,并加强不同社区之间的联系以及利用科学作为解决社区问题的工具。该项目将采用基于证据的 STEM 保留实践,以展示 STEM 教育和研究如何与学者的兴趣、目标和价值观保持一致。这些实践包括学生参与本科生研究、通过提升和管理群体经验来融入社会以及同伴辅导。一项关键活动将涉及让 VUU 的学者参与研究项目,同时教授研究技术、做出科学贡献并解决学生重视的社会或社区问题。帮助学生表现出主人翁意识,并认识到 STEM 作为一种工具的重要性,适用于他们关心的问题,将丰富他们的学术经验。此外,该项目还将加深对小型文科机构的学术项目如何帮助代表性不足的低收入 STEM 学生成为成功毕业生的理解。特别是,领导该项目的教师团队将收集有关学者表现的定性数据(例如学生访谈)和定量数据(例如平均绩点、完成关键课程的时间、自我效能衡量、坚持不懈的衡量等)。此类数据将帮助 VUU 的主要研究人员 (PI) 生成和传播有关项目活动影响的知识。从该项目收集的数据将为 PI 机构的项目活动制度化和扩展提供建议。此外,项目研究结果还将对其他小型文科院校中代表性不足的优秀本科 STEM 学生的教育和准备产生影响。
