项目摘要

As part of its overall strategy to enhance learning in informal environments, the Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program funds innovative research, approaches, and resources for use in a variety of settings. The pilot and feasibility study will develop instructional workshops for an adult population of quilters to introduce them to computational thinking. By leveraging pre-existing social structures, skill sets, and engagement in quilting, the researchers hope to help participants develop computer science and computational thinking knowledge and skills. The long-term goal is to broaden public awareness of computational thinking and build links between computer science and other areas of interest. By leveraging the social structure and existing skills held by practicing quilters, the workshops have the potential to reach an audience of millions of quilters around the nation and worldwide, the majority of whom are adult women.The research will be developed and tested with two groups: the Orlando Modern Quilt Guild in Orlando, FL, and an informally gathered quilting class in the Worcester, MA area. Outcomes for the project include workshop materials that can be used in a variety of quilting group contexts nationwide, a deeper understanding of the processes and mechanisms for adult computer science education through crafts, and evaluation of the pilot workshop focused on the impact on participants' engagement, self-identity, and learning for computational thinking. The research especially focuses on leveraging pre-existing knowledge, interests, and social structures to draw connections to computational thinking, and studying how this impacts participants' self-described identity, attitude, and engagement with computer science. The project also assesses a novel method for teaching computational thinking that has potential for broad applicability in a variety of social and creative hobbies. Participants will use and modify generative design software that creates quilt designs and, in doing so, learn how creative interests can be expanded through computer science. By focusing on the hobby of quilting, which is not typically associated with computer science, the knowledge built through designing and evaluating the research offers strategies for altering public perception of computer science.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
作为在非正式环境中加强学习的总体战略的一部分,推进非正式STEM学习(AISL)计划为各种环境中使用的创新研究、方法和资源提供资金。试点和可行性研究将为成年被子群体开发教学研讨会,向他们介绍计算思维。通过利用先前存在的社会结构、技能和对被子的参与,研究人员希望帮助参与者发展计算机科学和计算思维的知识和技能。其长期目标是扩大公众对计算思维的认识,并在计算机科学和其他感兴趣的领域之间建立联系。通过利用实践缝纫师掌握的社会结构和现有技能,这些研讨会有可能接触到全国和世界各地数以百万计的缝纫师,其中大多数是成年女性。研究将与两个小组一起开发和测试:佛罗里达州奥兰多的奥兰多现代被子行业协会和马萨诸塞州伍斯特地区的非正式缝纫课程。该项目的成果包括可用于全国各种缝纫小组环境的研讨会材料,通过手工艺更深入地了解成人计算机科学教育的过程和机制,以及对试点研讨会的评估,重点是对参与者的参与度、自我认同和计算思维学习的影响。这项研究特别关注利用现有的知识、兴趣和社会结构来得出与计算思维的联系,并研究这如何影响参与者的自我描述的身份、态度和对计算机科学的投入。该项目还评估了一种新的计算思维教学方法,该方法有可能在各种社会和创造性爱好中广泛适用。参与者将使用和修改生成设计软件来创建被子设计,并在这样做的过程中,学习如何通过计算机科学扩大创造性的兴趣。通过专注于缝纫这一通常与计算机科学无关的爱好,通过设计和评估研究建立的知识提供了改变公众对计算机科学的认知的策略。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
