The Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate program provides support to design, implement, study and assess efforts to increase the numbers of students and the quality of their preparation by strengthening science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and research. This project at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff provides a strategic approach to reform the introductory mathematics curriculum to increase student success. Undergraduate students are involved in this project as peer leaders and researchers.The project seeks to develop faculty expertise in evidence-based instruction, specifically research and project-based learning, web-based learning, and peer-led team learning, and to infuse these strategies into introductory mathematics courses. It is envisioned that these approaches will improve the retention and graduation rates of STEM majors at the university. The proposed activities are: to update the College Algebra curriculum incorporating evidence-based instructions methods and pilot two courses; to develop a co-requisite College Algebra curriculum and pilot a course; and to develop a peer-led team learning center. The project is guided by formative and summative evaluation.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.

历史黑人学院和大学本科课程通过加强科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)教育和研究，为增加学生数量和准备质量的努力提供设计、实施、研究和评估支持。阿肯色大学派恩布拉夫分校的这个项目提供了一种战略方法来改革数学入门课程，以提高学生的成功。本科生作为同行领导者和研究人员参与这个项目。该项目旨在培养教师在循证教学方面的专业知识，特别是基于研究和基于项目的学习、基于网络的学习和同行主导的团队学习，并将这些策略注入到数学入门课程中。据设想，这些方法将提高该大学STEM专业的留校率和毕业率。拟议的活动是：更新大学代数课程，纳入循证教学方法，并试行两门课程；开发一门共同必修的大学代数课程，并试行一门课程；以及建立一个同行主导的团队学习中心。该项目以形成性和终结性评估为指导。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。
