Data Driven, Engagement Based, Adaptive Learning, Growth Mindset Pedagogy Informed Course Redesign with Early Research Experiences for STEM Student Success

历史上的黑人学院和大学-本科课程为设计，实施，研究和评估全面的机构努力提供支持，通过加强科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）教育和研究来增加学生人数和他们的准备质量。克拉克亚特兰大大学的这个项目为重新设计基础STEM课程提供了一种战略方法，以提高学生的成功。该项目由正在进行的评估以及内部咨询委员会指导和提供信息。该项目的目标是提高学生对基础STEM概念的掌握和使用，改善学生的学习成果，并增加毕业后进入研究生课程的学生人数。以证据为基础的活动旨在提高STEM专业学生的保留率、持久性和毕业率。采用的策略有：自适应学习技术和补充教学；为学生举办自我效能感及成长心态教学法工作坊；教师发展工作坊：本科生辅导与不同教学、自我效能与成长心态教学法；为学生提供早期的研究经验。教育学院的教职员工将评估和研究这些干预措施或其组合中哪些是最有效的。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate program provides support to design, implement, study and assess comprehensive institutional 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 Clark Atlanta University provides a strategic approach to redesigning foundational STEM courses to increase student success. The project is guided and informed by an on-going evaluation, as well as by an internal advisory committee.The goals of the project are to improve students' mastery and use of foundational STEM concepts, improve student learning outcomes, and increase the number of students matriculating in graduate programs after graduation. Evidence-based activities are designed to improve retention, persistence, and graduation rates of STEM majors. The strategies employed are: adaptive learning technologies and supplemental instruction; workshops for students on self-efficacy and growth mindset pedagogy; faculty development workshops on mentoring undergraduate students and teaching differently, self-efficacy and growth mindset pedagogy; and early research experiences for students. School of Education faculty will assess and study which of these interventions or combinations thereof are most effective.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.
