项目摘要

As new technologies continue to dominate the world, access to and participation in science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM), and computing has become a critical focus of education research, practice, and policy. This issue is exceptionally relevant for American Indians, who remain underrepresented as only 0.2% of the STEM workforce, even though they make up 2% of the U.S. population. In response to this need, this Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) project takes a community-driven design approach, a collaborative design process in which Indigenous partners maintain sovereignty as designers, to collaboratively create place-based storytelling experiences, stories told in historical and cultural places through location-based media. The place-based storytelling experiences will be digital installations at culturally, politically, and historically significant sites in the local community where the public can engage with Indigenous science. Partners will include Tribal Nations such as the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation (NWBSN), Utah's Title VI Program, and other Tribal educators throughout Utah. Initially, the principal investigator and the NWBSN will investigate: (a) what are effective strategies and processes to conduct community-driven design with Indigenous partners?; (b) how does designing place-based storytelling experiences develop tribal members? design, technical, and computational skills?; (c) how does designing these experiences impact tribal members? scientific, technological, and cultural identities? The goals are to establish a process of community-driven design, build infrastructure to support this process, and understand how this methodological approach can result in culturally-appropriate ways to engage with science through technology. The principal investigator will work with NWBSN to complete intergenerational design cycles (a design cycle is made up of multiple design iterations). Each design cycle will result in one place-based storytelling experience. Across partners, the goal is to include roughly 15 youth (ages 6-18), 10 Elders/Knowledge Holders, and 10 other community members (i.e. members ages 18-50, likely parents) in each design cycle (35 tribal members total). Some designers are likely to participate in multiple design cycles. In Year 4, new community partners will be engaged to allow for iterative refinement and further development of the community-driven processes developed with the first partner. Over the life of the award the PI with partners aim to include at least 50 youth ages 6-18 across design cycles and at least 100 Tribal Elders, Knowledge Holders, and community members (as designers, storytellers, or to provide cultural artifacts or design feedback). This CAREER award is funded by the Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program, which seeks to advance new approaches to, and evidence-based understanding of, the design and development of STEM learning in informal environments. This includes providing multiple pathways for broadening access to and engagement in STEM learning experiences.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.

随着新技术继续主导世界，获得和参与科学，技术，工程，数学（STEM）和计算已成为教育研究，实践和政策的关键焦点。这个问题对美国印第安人来说尤为重要，尽管他们占美国人口的2%，但他们在STEM劳动力中的代表性仍然不足，仅占0.2%。为了满足这一需求，这个教师早期职业发展计划（CAREER）项目采取了社区驱动的设计方法，一个合作设计过程，其中土著合作伙伴作为设计师维护主权，共同创造基于地点的讲故事体验，通过基于地点的媒体在历史和文化场所讲述故事。基于地点的讲故事体验将是在当地社区的文化，政治和历史重要场所的数字装置，公众可以参与土著科学。合作伙伴将包括部落国家，如西北乐队的肖肖尼民族（NWBSN），犹他州的标题六计划，和其他部落教育工作者在整个犹他州。最初，首席研究员和NWBSN将调查：（a）与土著合作伙伴进行社区驱动设计的有效策略和流程是什么？(b)如何设计基于地点的讲故事体验来培养部落成员？设计、技术和计算能力？(c)设计这些体验如何影响部落成员？科学、技术和文化身份？其目标是建立一个社区驱动的设计过程，建立基础设施来支持这一过程，并了解这种方法如何能够产生文化上适当的方式来通过技术与科学接触。主要研究者将与NWBSN合作完成代际设计周期（设计周期由多个设计迭代组成）。每个设计周期将产生一个基于地点的故事讲述体验。在合作伙伴中，目标是在每个设计周期中包括大约15名青年（6-18岁），10名长者/知识持有者和10名其他社区成员（即18-50岁的成员，可能是父母）（共35名部落成员）。有些设计师可能会参与多个设计周期。在第四年，新的社区合作伙伴将参与进来，以允许与第一个合作伙伴一起开发的社区驱动流程的迭代改进和进一步发展。在奖项的生命周期中，PI与合作伙伴的目标是在设计周期中包括至少50名6-18岁的年轻人和至少100名部落长老，知识持有者和社区成员（作为设计师，讲故事者，或提供文化文物或设计反馈）。该职业奖由推进非正式STEM学习（AISL）计划资助，该计划旨在推进非正式环境中STEM学习的设计和开发的新方法和基于证据的理解。这包括提供多种途径，以扩大获取和参与STEM学习经验。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是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的支持。
