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-本科生方案为设计、实施、研究和评估全面的机构努力提供支持，以通过加强科学、技术、工程和数学教育和研究来增加学生人数和提高他们的准备质量。克拉克亚特兰大大学的这个项目提供了一种重新设计基础STEM课程以提高学生成功率的战略方法。该项目由一个正在进行的评估以及一个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，提高学生的学习成果，并增加毕业后进入研究生课程的学生人数。 循证活动旨在提高STEM专业的保留率，持久性和毕业率。所采用的战略是：适应性学习技术和补充教学;为学生举办的自我效能和成长心态教学法讲习班;关于指导本科生和以不同方式教学、自我效能和成长心态教学法的教师发展讲习班;以及学生的早期研究经验。教育学院的教师将评估和研究这些干预措施或其组合是最有效的。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

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.
