项目摘要

This project extends a successful researcher-practitioner partnership (RPP) between the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the Lincoln Public Schools to other school districts in Nebraska. The primary goal is to study how a computer science (CS) curriculum for K-8 students is adopted by school districts with different strengths and challenges to broaden participation in computing. The project will also develop instructional capacity for K-8 CS education with diverse learners. The specific aims are to support new, partner districts by 1) adapting and implementing the existing CS curriculum, learning progression models, and assessment metrics for their needs; 2) customize the current professional development model to their educators; (3) create a teacher virtual network support model for ongoing logistical and content support; and 4) adapt, develop, and validate instruments to measure CS knowledge and self-efficacy.The project will be conducted as part of a research-focused networked improvement community (NIC) grounded in design-based research. During the project's iterations, the researchers will study 1) how the K-8 curriculum/resources implemented in diverse partner districts, and 2) how useful are the curricula and resources in supporting teacher and students CS knowledge, attitudes, and practices. The studies will pay particular attention to the similarities and differences that occur between various subgroups (i.e., underrepresented minorities, male/female). The project will result in case studies of rural, highly underrepresented, and Native American schools that guide other states and districts seeking to infuse computer science into K-8 education.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.

该项目将内布拉斯加大学林肯分校和林肯公立学校之间成功的研究者-实践者伙伴关系（RPP）扩展到内布拉斯加州的其他学区。主要目标是研究如何为K-8学生的计算机科学（CS）课程是通过学区不同的优势和挑战，以扩大参与计算。该项目还将为不同学习者的K-8 CS教育发展教学能力。具体目标是通过以下方式支持新的合作地区：（1）调整和实施现有的CS课程，学习进度模型和评估指标，以满足他们的需求;（2）为他们的教育工作者定制当前的专业发展模型;（3）创建教师虚拟网络支持模型，以提供持续的后勤和内容支持;以及4）调整、开发和验证测量CS知识和自我效能的工具。该项目将作为以设计为基础的研究为重点的网络改进社区（NIC）的一部分进行。在项目的迭代过程中，研究人员将研究1）K-8课程/资源如何在不同的合作伙伴地区实施，以及2）课程和资源在支持教师和学生CS知识，态度和实践方面的有用性。这些研究将特别注意各亚组之间的相似性和差异（即，代表性不足的少数群体，男性/女性）。该项目将导致农村，高度代表性和美国原住民学校的案例研究，指导其他州和地区寻求注入计算机科学到K-8 education.This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。
