Collaborative Research: Pushing Students Away: Developing a Research Agenda for Broadening Participation of African Americans in Engineering and Computer Science

合作研究:将学生拒之门外:制定扩大非裔美国人对工程和计算机科学参与的研究议程

基本信息

项目摘要

While there have been substantial initiatives designed to broaden the participation of underrepresented groups, producing a diverse workforce is unlikely if the country continues to lose them at each of the major junctures along the education-to-workforce pathway: K-12 education, undergraduate education, graduate education, and workforce. While researchers have published numerous studies on underrepresented groups over the past four decades, trends have not significantly improved, suggesting a disconnection between research and practice and a greater need to investigate the issue of broadening participation at every major segment throughout the education-to-workforce pathway. As a result, the investigators propose to conduct a research project that critically examines the Innovation Cycle of Educational Practice and Research as it relates to broadening participation in engineering and computer science. This study will advance our understanding of the disconnect between research and practice, identify barriers to progress, and set a national agenda for broadening the participation of African Americans in engineering and computer science. The agenda will unify the current literature on this topic, frame key issues, and pose significant questions around the development of a diverse engineering workforce. Aligned with current NSF broaden participation interests and priorities, this agenda will provide: (1) researchers with a backdrop for identifying problems that can be investigated empirically; and (2) practitioners with practical strategies for addressing barriers present in their local context. The research design, guiding this study, will enable us to synthesize the plethora of existing recommendations, while obtaining feedback from researchers, practitioners and other stakeholders alike. The research design will also serve as a model for subsequent studies on broadening the participation of other underrepresented groups in STEM. Further, to readjust current practices for addressing this persistent problem and figure out what is pushing students away, this project involves systematically reviewing the theoretical and scientific literature on barriers to participating and proposing new solutions for each juncture of the education-to-workforce pathway; interviewing subject-matter experts (n=60) to discuss their professional experiences regarding broadening the participation of African Americans and what can be done to gain momentum in African Americans participation in engineering; and conducting a Delphi study (n=20) to reach consensus on the key issues and gaps in our understanding, significant questions, and breakdowns in the Innovation Cycle of Educational Practice and Research. This project will produce the following outcomes: (1) a literature review synthesizing and highlighting the current state of research and practice on broadening the participation of African Americans and an Innovation Cycle of Broadening Participation; (2) a conceptual model that depicts the current relationship between research and practice in this context; and (3) an outline of a national agenda for coordinating the efforts of stakeholders committed to broadening participation of African Americans in engineering and computer science.
虽然有大量的举措旨在扩大代表性不足的群体的参与,但如果该国继续在教育到劳动力的道路沿着的每个主要节点上失去他们,那么生产多样化的劳动力是不可能的:K-12教育,本科教育,研究生教育和劳动力。虽然研究人员在过去四十年中发表了许多关于代表性不足群体的研究,但趋势并没有显着改善,这表明研究与实践之间存在脱节,更需要调查在整个教育到劳动力途径的每个主要部分扩大参与的问题。因此,调查人员建议进行一项研究项目,批判性地审视教育实践和研究的创新周期,因为它涉及到扩大工程和计算机科学的参与。这项研究将促进我们对研究与实践之间脱节的理解,确定进步的障碍,并为扩大非裔美国人在工程和计算机科学方面的参与制定国家议程。该议程将统一关于这一主题的现有文献,确定关键问题,并围绕多元化工程队伍的发展提出重要问题。与当前NSF扩大参与的兴趣和优先事项相一致,该议程将提供:(1)研究人员与识别问题的背景下,可以进行实证研究;(2)从业者与解决障碍的实用策略,目前在当地的情况。指导这项研究的研究设计将使我们能够综合现有的大量建议,同时获得研究人员,从业人员和其他利益相关者的反馈。研究设计也将作为后续研究的模型,以扩大其他代表性不足的群体在STEM中的参与。此外,为了调整目前的做法以解决这一长期存在的问题,并找出是什么原因使学生远离,该项目包括系统地审查关于参与障碍的理论和科学文献,并为教育到劳动力途径的每个环节提出新的解决办法;访谈主题专家(n=60)讨论他们在扩大非裔美国人参与方面的专业经验,以及可以做些什么来获得非裔美国人参与工程的势头;并进行德尔菲研究(n=20),以达成共识的关键问题和差距,我们的理解,重大问题,并在教育实践和研究的创新周期故障。该项目将产生以下成果:(1)文献综述,综合并突出关于扩大非裔美国人参与的研究和实践现状以及扩大参与的创新周期;(2)描述这方面研究与实践之间当前关系的概念模型;以及(3)协调致力于扩大非裔美国人参与工程和计算机科学的利益相关者的努力的国家议程纲要。
