项目摘要
With support from the NSF Improving Undergraduate STEM Education Program: Education and Human Resources (IUSE:EHR), this project aims to serve the national interest by improving student learning and retention in chemical engineering. Retention of students pursuing chemical engineering degrees is essential to the future STEM workforce, but deficiencies in introductory coursework are a barrier to degree persistence and completion. The objective of this project is to implement cyberlearning tools in introductory courses in the chemical engineering curriculum. It is expected that these tools will increase student success in the courses, thus improving retention of students in the chemical engineering major and graduation of chemical engineers who are prepared for the workforce or advanced education. The project plans to achieve the objective by developing and testing a chemistry- and chemical engineering-focused online dashboard that is integrated into the University's online learning management system. The dashboard will include badges to visualize student progress in the course, a leaderboard to motivate study behavior and help-seeking, and rewards to provide immediate feedback about mastery of key chemistry or chemical engineering concepts. The results from this project have the potential to increase understanding about how cyberlearning tools can motivate students in chemical engineering coursework. The results also have the potential to provide foundational knowledge about effective use of cyberlearning tools in other STEM fields.Despite research showing positive impact of cyberlearning on engagement and academic achievement, only a small number of studies have focused on large enrollment STEM courses. In addition, few of these studies incorporate robust measures to rigorously and systematically assess students' behavioral, cognitive, and affective changes. This project aims to fill this gap by developing and testing a student dashboard that tracks student accomplishments and motivates them to use the software to improve their performance in introductory courses. Dashboard development and testing will occur with three study cohorts of students in multiple, large enrollment, undergraduate courses, including general chemistry. The development process will benefit from a rigorous evaluation framework, including an advisory board of national experts, to provide formative and summative feedback on the project progress. Project deliverables include (1) development of an online dashboard, (2) evaluation of the dashboard using surveys, online data, and focus groups, and (3) dissemination of project outcomes through presentations, publications, a website, and social media. The quantitative analysis of behavioral outcomes and motivational surveys will be complemented by a qualitative analysis of how students made sense of the dashboard and what role the dashboard may have played in their emerging identities as engineers. The novel data collection will triangulate findings to offer a detailed understanding about how student motivation and academic achievement in chemical engineering interact and are informed by the use of a chemical engineering-focused online dashboard. The NSF IUSE:EHR Program supports research and development projects to improve the effectiveness of STEM education for all students. Through the Engaged Student Learning track, the program supports the creation, exploration, and implementation of promising practices and tools.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.
在NSF改善本科STEM教育计划:教育和人力资源(IUSE:EHR)的支持下,该项目旨在通过改善学生在化学工程方面的学习和保留来服务于国家利益。留住攻读化学工程学位的学生对未来的STEM劳动力至关重要,但入门课程的不足是学位持续性和完成的障碍。本项目的目标是在化学工程课程的入门课程中使用网络学习工具。 预计这些工具将提高学生在课程中的成功率,从而提高化学工程专业学生的保留率,并提高为劳动力或高等教育做好准备的化学工程师的毕业率。该项目计划通过开发和测试一个以化学和化学工程为重点的在线仪表板来实现这一目标,该仪表板已纳入联合国大学的在线学习管理系统。仪表板将包括徽章,以可视化学生在课程中的进步,一个排行榜,以激励学习行为和寻求帮助,并奖励提供有关掌握关键化学或化学工程概念的即时反馈。 该项目的结果有可能增加对网络学习工具如何激励学生学习化学工程课程的理解。 这些结果也有可能提供有关在其他STEM领域有效使用网络学习工具的基础知识。尽管研究显示网络学习对参与度和学业成绩有积极影响,但只有少数研究关注大规模招生的STEM课程。 此外,这些研究中很少有强有力的措施,严格和系统地评估学生的行为,认知和情感的变化。该项目旨在通过开发和测试一个学生仪表板来填补这一空白,该仪表板跟踪学生的成绩,并激励他们使用该软件来提高他们在入门课程中的表现。 仪表板的开发和测试将发生在三个研究队列的学生在多个,大招生,本科课程,包括普通化学。开发进程将受益于严格的评价框架,包括一个国家专家咨询委员会,以提供关于项目进展的形成性和总结性反馈。项目交付成果包括:(1)开发在线仪表板;(2)利用调查、在线数据和焦点小组对仪表板进行评估;(3)通过演示、出版物、网站和社交媒体传播项目成果。对行为结果和动机调查的定量分析将辅之以学生如何理解仪表板的定性分析,以及仪表板在他们作为工程师的新兴身份中可能发挥的作用。新的数据收集将对结果进行三角分析,以详细了解学生的动机和化学工程的学业成绩如何相互作用,并通过使用以化学工程为重点的在线仪表板来了解。NSF IUSE:EHR计划支持研究和开发项目,以提高所有学生STEM教育的有效性。 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。
