项目摘要

This project will advance efforts of the Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) program to better understand and promote practices that increase students' motivations and capacities to pursue careers in fields of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) by engaging in hands-on field experience, laboratory/project-based entrepreneurship tasks and mentorship experiences. The project is designed to increasie the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) participation of middle-school aged girls across various out-of-school (OST) programs in a midsized racially and socioeconomically diverse community. The project will research and develop a program, building on the existing Digital Youth Divas (DYD) program model, that focuses on coding, designing digital devices (e.g., sensors, devices sensitive to touch), and digital arts and design and that will intentionally address areas that are of interest to girls. The project will collaborate with EvanSTEM, a collaborative of Evanston, Illinois, community organizations that offer STEM education activities, to create a community-led initiative learning initiative that combines STEM with the arts (STEAM). The project STEAM ecosystem will focus on three components: the DYD city collective that consists of out-of-school (OST) organizations that provide STEM programming for girls; DYD Caring Adult Network (a community of parents focused on supporting STEM activities among girls); and the Divas Circle (a community of 5-8th grade girls from across Evanston who participate in DYD affiliated programming and events). This project leverages collaboration with a local community of OST providers, parents, and educators to create a system of STEM learning opportunities, social supports and technical infrastructure.The project will investigate several key research questions: (1) How can middle school girls better connect with STEM learning opportunities and how can organizations more effectively coordinate their offerings and connect them to girls?(2) What factors contribute to the creation of a local STEM ecosystem that engages and sustains girls' STEM interest and participation?(3) How can parents (or other caregivers) be engaged in supporting girls' participation in STEM and what impact does their involvement have?(4) What impact does participation have on family STEM identity and on girls' long term participation and interest in STEM activities and programs?The project will use a variety of research methods and date collection including: school district data such as student course registrations; youth surveys assessing participation levels, interest, and impacts; online participation data that will reveal levels and patterns of involvement; interviews with students, parents, and providers; and case study data of a sample of participating families. The project will share research findings widely with the educational research community through academic venues such as professional conferences and journals and with practitioners through professional development workshops and by sharing resource materials and curriculum on the www.digitalyouthnetwork.org/divas website.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.
该项目将推进学生和教师创新技术体验(ITEST)计划的努力,以更好地理解和促进提高学生的动机和能力的做法,通过参与实践现场经验,实验室/基于项目的创业任务和指导经验,追求科学,技术,工程或数学(STEM)领域的职业生涯。该项目旨在增加一个中等规模的种族和社会经济多样化社区的中学年龄女孩对各种校外方案的科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)参与。该项目将研究和开发一个程序,建立在现有的数字青年女主角(DYD)程序模型,重点是编码,设计数字设备(例如,传感器、触摸感应设备)以及数字艺术和设计,并将有意解决女孩感兴趣的领域。该项目将与伊利诺伊州埃文斯顿的EvanSTEM合作,提供STEM教育活动的社区组织,以创建一个社区主导的将STEM与艺术相结合的主动学习计划(STEAM)。STEAM生态系统项目将侧重于三个组成部分:由校外(OST)组织组成的DYD城市集体,为女孩提供STEM编程; DYD关爱成人网络(一个专注于支持女孩STEM活动的家长社区);和Divas Circle(来自埃文斯顿的5- 8年级女孩社区,他们参加DYD附属的编程和活动)。该项目将与当地的OST提供者、家长和教育工作者合作,创建一个STEM学习机会、社会支持和技术基础设施的系统。该项目将探讨几个关键的研究问题:(1)中学女生如何更好地与STEM学习机会建立联系,组织如何更有效地协调其提供的服务,并将其与女生联系起来?(2)哪些因素有助于建立一个吸引和维持女孩对STEM的兴趣和参与的地方STEM生态系统?(3)父母(或其他照顾者)如何参与支持女孩参与STEM,他们的参与有什么影响?(4)参与对家庭STEM身份和女孩长期参与STEM活动和方案以及对STEM活动和方案的兴趣有什么影响?该项目将使用各种研究方法和数据收集,包括:学区数据,如学生课程注册;评估参与水平,兴趣和影响的青年调查;揭示参与水平和模式的在线参与数据;与学生,家长和供应商的访谈;以及参与家庭样本的案例研究数据。 该项目将通过专业会议和期刊等学术场所与教育研究界广泛分享研究成果,并通过专业发展研讨会与从业人员广泛分享研究成果,并在www.digitalyouthnetwork.org/divas网站上分享资源材料和课程。该奖项反映了NSF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。
