CUE: Collaborative Research: Effective Peer Teaching Across Computing Pathways

这四个机构的合作赠款旨在招募和准备本科近同行教学研究员（PTFs）提供可扩展的，高质量的支持，为学生跨计算途径。它建立在谷歌资助的赠款基础上，该赠款创建了一个软件环境，以监控办公时间的面对面互动和在线论坛。这项工作的目的是确定和支持学生寻求帮助的模式，特别是在调试跨计算途径的做法。该项目将调查不同学生亲自或在线寻求帮助的方式，提高以调试为重点的求助互动的有效性，并创建支持有效调试求助互动的同伴教师发展材料。该项目的目标是通过PTF开发设计支持调试求助互动的干预措施。项目小组计划利用和完善现有的数据收集框架，通过办公时间和讨论论坛收集数据。它将在各种环境中创建PTF开发材料，以帮助教授调试技能，并分析这些材料和专业发展的影响。研究人员打算建立一个由研究人员和从业人员组成的网络改进社区（NIC），他们在招募和准备PTF方面推进知识和实践的发展，以支持各种计算途径的学生，以发展对独立性和自我效能至关重要的技能。该小组将主办一次同侪教学高峰会议，以传播发展材料和其他调查结果。每月的团队会议将提供机会，讨论收集的数据，并制定通用的指标和方法进行数据分析，以增加了解如何以及为什么跨学科的学生寻求帮助，以及学生如何处理调试活动。最后，PTF NIC和实现项目目标的进展将通过与顾问委员会的频繁会议进行评估。该项目有可能推进知识和实践的状态，围绕招募和准备本科近同行作为同行教学研究员，以扩大学生的支持跨计算途径。它解决了建立一个强大的和多样化的计算手臂的国家的STEM劳动力的需要。这个IUSE：CUE项目由EHR/DUE和CISE理事会CNS，CCF，IIS和OAC共同资助，反映了该项目与IUSE更广泛目标的一致性：DUE中的EHR计划和CISE中的补充计划。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。

This four-institution collaborative grant aims to recruit and prepare undergraduate near-peers as Peer Teaching Fellows (PTFs) to provide scalable, high-quality support for students across computing pathways. It builds on a Google-funded grant that created a software environment to monitor in-person office hour interactions and online discussion forums. This effort aims to identify and support student help-seeking patterns specifically with respect to debugging practices across computing pathways. It will investigate the ways in which diverse students seek help in-person or online, increase the effectiveness of help-seeking interactions that focus on debugging, and create Peer Teacher development materials that support effective debugging help-seeking interactions.The goal of the project is to design interventions that support debugging help-seeking interactions through PTF Development. The project team plans to utilize and refine existing data collection frameworks to gather data through office hours and discussion forums. It will create PTF development materials in a variety of contexts to help teach debugging skills, and analyze the impact of these materials and professional development. The researchers intend to build a Networked Improvement Community (NIC) of researchers and practitioners who advance the state of knowledge and practice on recruiting and preparing PTFs to support diverse students across a spectrum of computing pathways to develop skills critical to independence and self-efficacy. The team will host a Peer Teaching Summit to disseminate development materials and other findings. Monthly team meetings will provide opportunities to discuss the data collected and develop common metrics and approaches for data analysis, in order to increase understanding of how and why interdisciplinary students seek help and how students approach debugging activities. Lastly, the PTF NIC and progress toward meeting project goals will be evaluated through frequent meetings with the advisory board. The project has the potential to advance the state of knowledge and practice around recruiting and preparing undergraduate near-peers as Peer Teaching Fellows to scale student support across computing pathways. It addresses the need to build a strong and diverse computing arm of the nation's STEM workforce. This IUSE: CUE project is co-funded by EHR/DUE and CISE Directorates CNS, CCF, IIS, and OAC, reflecting the project's alignment with the broader goals of the IUSE: EHR program in DUE and complementary programs in CISE.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.
