Failure as a part of Learning, A Mindset Education Network (FLAMEnet) comprises educators and researchers, who together will address how instructors in biology and other STEM disciplines can help students learn to cope, persevere and then succeed when confronted with failure during their learning efforts. FLAMEnet will create resources to encourage undergraduate students in biology and related science fields to learn and grow from failure experiences. These resources will be easy to implement by instructors and will be broadly distributed to the public via networking and social media. The overarching impact of the proposed activities is to support the preparation of a diverse workforce that is ready to tackle the large, pressing scientific challenges of tomorrow.FLAMEnet will bring together a diverse group of science and engineering faculty, psychology researchers, and educational researchers to create, implement and disseminate educational interventions that can be employed by instructors in biology and other STEM fields to help students overcome obstacles and failures as they learn the field. These interventions will be grounded in the psychological frameworks of mindset, goal orientation, fear of failure, and coping, and will focus on the role of these elements in undergraduate biology education. The specific aims of the proposal include: (1) develop resources and instructional materials; (2) implement resources across different disciplines and institutional types; (3) expand the network through workshop activities. The inclusion of psychology and educational researchers will ensure that the resources developed are solidly grounded in current theoretical frameworks, and participation of STEM instructors will secure acceptance from the STEM community and ensure that resources are useful and accessible to the communities they will serve. Together, these activities will advance our understanding of the interplay of these psychological frameworks, and will provide instructors in the biological sciences and related STEM disciplines with practical resources for building resilience in college students.This project is being jointly funded by the Directorate for Biological Sciences, Division of Biological Infrastructure, and the Directorate for Education and Human Resources, Division of Undergraduate Education as part of their efforts to address the challenges posed in Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education: A Call to Action (http://visionandchange/finalreport/).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.

失败是学习的一部分，一个心态教育网络（FLAMEnet）由教育工作者和研究人员组成，他们将共同探讨生物学和其他STEM学科的教师如何帮助学生在学习过程中面对失败时学会应对、坚持并取得成功。FLAMEnet将创造资源，鼓励生物学和相关科学领域的本科生从失败经验中学习和成长。这些资源将很容易由教师实施，并将通过网络和社会媒体广泛分发给公众。拟议活动的总体影响是支持培养一支多样化的劳动力队伍，为应对未来巨大而紧迫的科学挑战做好准备。FLAMEnet将把不同的科学和工程教师、心理学研究人员和教育研究人员聚集在一起，创建、实施和传播教育干预措施，这些干预措施可以被生物学和其他STEM领域的教师使用，以帮助学生在学习该领域时克服障碍和失败。这些干预措施将以心态、目标导向、失败恐惧和应对等心理框架为基础，并将重点关注这些因素在本科生物学教育中的作用。该建议的具体目标包括：(1)开发资源和教学材料；(2)在不同学科和机构类型之间实施资源；(3)通过车间活动拓展网络。心理学和教育研究人员的参与将确保开发的资源牢固地建立在当前的理论框架基础上，STEM教师的参与将确保STEM社区的接受，并确保资源对他们所服务的社区有用和可访问。总之，这些活动将促进我们对这些心理框架相互作用的理解，并将为生物科学和相关STEM学科的教师提供实用资源，以培养大学生的弹性。该项目由生物基础设施司生物科学理事会和本科教育司教育和人力资源理事会共同资助，作为其应对《本科生物学教育的愿景与变革：行动呼吁》（http://visionandchange/finalreport/）所提出的挑战的努力的一部分。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。
