项目摘要

Catalyst Projects provide support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities to work towards establishing research capacity of faculty to strengthen science, technology, engineering and mathematics undergraduate education and research. It is expected that the award will further the faculty member's research capability, improve research and teaching at the institution, and involve undergraduate students in research experiences. This project will investigate the impacts of learning about the basic science of sleep on interest and motivation among STEM students on interest and motivation. Further, this project will enhance teaching and learning at Fort Valley State University and increase professional development and marketable quantitative skills of underrepresented STEM students to prepare them for workforce entry or graduate school. The goal of this project is to understand the impact of an integrated research and education plan that focuses on the introduction of basic sleep science into the learning curriculum as an intervention to impact student STEM interest, motivation and performance. This project builds on Social Cognitive Career Theory and preliminary data that suggest that learning about the basic science of sleep, sleep deprivation and its health effects promote academic interest, motivation and performance in STEM fields. To meet this goal, researchers will investigate the impact of science based sleep education modules, consisting of a series of sleep science based research components and the incorporation of technology tools with education on sleep-related health outcomes. At the conclusion of this project we expect to have shown that introduction of the science based sleep education modules is an effective method for enhancing learning of and engagement in complex STEM science concepts by students, and established the effectiveness of the professional development of educators in basic sleep science as an intervention tool for student success. This project addresses a significant need to identify the most effective interventions for enhancing interest, motivation and performance in STEM fields and to disseminate this knowledge directly to educators and students. Moreover, this project will contribute to a general framework to evaluate the delivery of basic science concepts and project based learning services in undergraduate STEM 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.

催化剂项目为历史上的黑人学院和大学提供支持，努力建立教师的研究能力，以加强科学，技术，工程和数学本科教育和研究。预计该奖项将进一步提高教师的研究能力，改善研究和教学机构，并参与本科生的研究经验。该项目将调查学习睡眠基础科学对STEM学生兴趣和动机的影响。此外，该项目将加强福特瓦利州立大学的教学和学习，并提高代表性不足的STEM学生的专业发展和市场量化技能，为他们进入劳动力市场或研究生院做好准备。该项目的目标是了解综合研究和教育计划的影响，该计划侧重于将基础睡眠科学引入学习课程，作为影响学生STEM兴趣，动机和表现的干预措施。该项目建立在社会认知职业理论和初步数据的基础上，这些数据表明，学习睡眠，睡眠剥夺及其健康影响的基础科学可以促进STEM领域的学术兴趣，动机和表现。为了实现这一目标，研究人员将调查基于科学的睡眠教育模块的影响，包括一系列基于睡眠科学的研究组件，并将技术工具与睡眠相关健康结果的教育相结合。在这个项目的结论，我们希望已经表明，引入基于科学的睡眠教育模块是一种有效的方法，提高学习和参与复杂的STEM科学概念的学生，并建立了教育工作者的专业发展的有效性在基础睡眠科学作为学生成功的干预工具。该项目解决了确定最有效的干预措施，以提高STEM领域的兴趣，动机和表现，并将这些知识直接传播给教育工作者和学生的重大需求。此外，该项目将有助于一个总体框架，以评估本科STEM教育中基础科学概念和基于项目的学习服务的交付。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为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来支持。
