NSF INCLUDES Conference Convening Community

项目摘要

The conference will be a three-day gathering of national experts and stakeholders in evaluation, research, and design. They will use creative design-thinking processes to rethink assessment approaches aimed at the evaluation of efforts to increase representation in STEM preparation pathways and eventual entry into STEM careers. Broad community-based collaborative change efforts work to benefit a variety of people. However, few initiatives take into account the role of the community and those community stakeholders in the assessment and evaluation process. This lack of representation creates unequal access and control in defining progress and ultimate success. The conference will address this problem by increasing knowledge and understanding of community-engaged assessment. It will re-conceptualize how assessment is conceived and constructed. The people attending (blended expertise of national experts and stakeholders coupled with selected NSF INCLUDES evaluators and PIs) will have deep insight into critical areas including developmental evaluation, collective impact evaluation, culturally relevant evaluation, networked improvement communities, action research, community-based participatory research, appreciative inquiry, organization development, human-centered design, design workshops, and public-interest design-build. They will engage in the real work of what it takes to listen, understand, dream, argue, and create a different way of assessing community collective impact efforts to increase participation of underrepresented groups in STEM. This conference will not only advance knowledge and understanding of community-engaged assessment that supports collective impact but aims to re-conceptualize how assessment in collaborative change initiatives is methodologically constructed: 1) incorporating well qualified and diverse experts (from NSF INCLUDES and beyond) who will facilitate and participate; 2) engaging experts as well as practitioners in design sessions to ideate on "wicked problems" in community-engaged assessment; 3) capturing the ideas, insights, and learnings of the convening in a myriad of ways to be shared across the nation; and 4) leveraging the networks created during the conference to continue the shared learning and work. The results of this convening will support the designing and doing of collaborative change work as well as the development of tools and resources that measure effectiveness of these initiatives. These processes will move this work beyond typical evaluation to an assessment system that engages the broader and deeper community. Publications (both peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed) will create artifacts, including two books written by conference participants, that describe the process so as to encourage and support others to produce coherent and clear visions for implementation and evaluation of complicated collaborative change interventions to increase STEM representation. The results will be especially beneficial to the INCLUDES Design and Development Launch Pilots.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.

这次会议将是为期三天的国家专家和利益相关者在评估、研究和设计方面的聚会。他们将使用创造性的设计思维过程来重新思考评估方法，旨在评估增加STEM筹备途径和最终进入STEM职业的代表性的努力。广泛的以社区为基础的合作变革努力使各种人受益。然而，很少有倡议考虑到社区和社区利益攸关方在评估和评价过程中的作用。这种代表性的缺乏造成了在界定进展和最终成功方面获得和控制的不平等。会议将通过增加对社区参与评估的了解和理解来解决这一问题。它将重新构思评估是如何构思和构建的。与会人员(融合了国家专家和利益相关者的专业知识，再加上选定的NSF包括评估员和个人投资者)将对关键领域有深刻的见解，包括发展评估、集体影响评估、与文化相关的评估、网络改进社区、行动研究、基于社区的参与性研究、鉴赏性调查、组织发展、以人为中心的设计、设计研讨会和公益设计-建造。他们将从事倾听、理解、梦想、辩论所需的实际工作，并创建一种不同的方式来评估社区集体影响努力，以增加未被充分代表的群体在STEM中的参与。这次会议不仅将促进对支持集体影响的社区参与评估的认识和理解，而且旨在重新概念化协作变革倡议中的评估是如何在方法上构建的：1)吸收将促进和参与的合格和多样化的专家(包括来自国家科学基金会和其他方面的专家)；2)在设计会议中邀请专家和实践者就社区参与评估中的“有害问题”进行构思；3)以各种方式获取召开社区参与评估的想法、见解和经验教训，以便在全国范围内共享；以及4)利用会议期间创建的网络来继续共享学习和工作。这次会议的成果将有助于设计和开展合作变革工作，以及开发工具和资源，以衡量这些举措的成效。这些进程将把这项工作从典型的评估工作转移到一个涉及更广泛和更深层次的社区的评估系统。出版物(包括同行评议和非同行评议)将制作人工制品，包括由与会者撰写的描述这一进程的两本书，以鼓励和支持其他人为实施和评估复杂的协作性变革干预措施提出连贯和明确的愿景，以增加STEM的代表性。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，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。
