This project examines Black women teachers' pre-service preparation in an effort to broaden participation of African American girls in computer science (CS) careers by developing their computational thinking (CT) skills. This study will examine how Black elementary school teachers learned to support their kindergarten through sixth grade African American female students to learn CT in efforts to inspire their futures in the CS workforce. The objective of this research is to understand how African American women teachers support Black students to enter computer science careers. We will specifically examine: 1) teacher certification program components that build CT for elementary Black girls; 2) training in culturally responsive computing (CRC); 3) CRC training in ways that support African American girls; and 4) best practices for supporting Black teachers at institutions of higher education where teacher certification programs train predominately white future teachers. The overarching objective of this research study is to add to the literature by exploring how Black female teachers learn to inspire Black girls' participation in the CS workforce.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.

该项目考察了黑人女教师任职前的准备情况，目的是通过发展非裔美国女孩的计算思维(CT)技能，扩大她们在计算机科学(CS)职业中的参与度。这项研究将考察黑人小学教师如何学习支持他们的幼儿园到六年级的非裔美国女性学生学习CT，以努力激励她们在CS劳动力中的未来。这项研究的目的是了解非裔美国女教师如何支持黑人学生进入计算机科学职业生涯。我们将具体审查：1)为小学黑人女孩建立CT的教师认证计划组成部分；2)文化响应计算(CRC)培训；3)以支持非裔美国女孩的方式进行CRC培训；以及4)在高等教育机构支持黑人教师的最佳做法，那里的教师认证计划培训的主要是白人未来的教师。这项研究的首要目标是通过探索黑人女性教师如何学习激励黑人女孩参与CS工作来增加文献。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
