项目摘要

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) has identified research in broadening participation in STEM as one of its priorities and is committed to funding innovative models and research to enhance the understanding of the barriers that hinder and factors that enhance our ability to broaden participation in STEM. The project presented by Howard University, Winston-Salem State University, Coppin State University, and Morehouse College has been designed to initiate the implementation of essential research that will set the foundation for the development of the theoretical models that pertain to the research on identity and motivation of African American students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields. The project consists of the requisite research, education, knowledge transfer and outreach components. It is uniquely poised to transform current psychology theories on STEM learning while engaging participants from a minimum of 30 HBCUs, thereby giving voice to the diverse contexts that may enhance our understanding of STEM learning and STEM pedagogy.There are three overarching project research questions: (1) What is the nature of identity-based motivation among African American undergraduates in STEM at HBCUs?; (2) How is identity-based motivation interrelated with engagement, persistence, and achievement of undergraduate African American students in STEM at HBCUs?; (3) How can artificial intelligence machine learning [AIML] increase understanding of the nature of identity-based motivation among African American undergraduates in STEM at HBCUs? The primary objectives of the proposed BPRC: Center for the Development of Identity and Motivation of African American Students in STEM are as follows: (1) to develop, implement, and evaluate a partner operational plan that informs the development of a larger scale BPRC; (2) to expand and sustain the research capacity at four institutions (Howard University, Winston-Salem State University, and Morehouse College, Coppin State University) to conduct mixed methods psychology broadening participationresearch on HBCU undergraduate STEM education; (3) to partner with existing HBCU research labs and the University of Michigan National Center for Institutional Diversity to develop a robust strategy to transfer knowledge about identity-based motivation of African American students in STEM through multimedia and varied forms of dissemination and outreach; and (4) to develop a mixed methods psychology broadening participation research training curriculum to produce the next generation of scholars in the psychological science of broadening participation. The project is aligned with the strategicpriority of the National Science Foundation to make investments that enhance both research capacity and excellence in research at HBCUs. Knowledge generated about psychological experiences in HBCU learning contexts can inform future practices at HBCUs, while also informing how other institutions that are not HBCUs can cultivate psychologically enriching environments that promote learning and success among African American undergraduate students in STEM.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.

历史上的黑人学院和大学本科课程(HBCU-UP)将扩大STEM参与的研究确定为其优先事项之一，并致力于资助创新模式和研究，以加深对阻碍我们扩大参与STEM的障碍和因素的了解。该项目由霍华德大学、温斯顿-塞勒姆州立大学、科平州立大学和莫尔豪斯学院提出，旨在启动基本研究的实施，为开发与科学、技术、工程和数学领域的非裔美国学生的身份和动机研究有关的理论模型奠定基础。该项目包括必要的研究、教育、知识转让和外联部分。它独一无二地准备转变目前关于STEM学习的心理学理论，同时吸引至少30个HBCU的参与者，从而表达可能增强我们对STEM学习和STEM教学的不同背景的声音。有三个最重要的项目研究问题：(1)HBCU STEM的非裔美国本科生基于身份的动机的性质是什么？(2)基于身份的动机与HBCU的STEM本科生的参与度、坚持性和成就是如何联系的？(3)人工智能机器学习[AIML]如何提高HBCU STEM非裔美国本科生对基于身份动机的本质的理解？拟议中的BPRC：STEM非裔美国学生身份和动机发展中心的主要目标如下：(1)制定、实施和评估伙伴业务计划，为更大规模的BPRC的发展提供信息；(2)扩大和保持四个机构(霍华德大学、温斯顿-塞勒姆州立大学和科平州立大学莫尔豪斯学院)的研究能力，以开展混合方法扩大参与HBCU本科生STEM教育的心理学研究；(3)与HBCU现有的研究实验室和密歇根大学国家机构多样性中心合作，制定一项强有力的战略，通过多媒体和各种形式的传播和外联，传播关于STEM中非裔美国学生基于身份的动机的知识；以及(4)开发一种混合方法，以扩大参与研究的心理学培训课程，以培养更多参与心理科学的下一代学者。该项目符合国家科学基金会的战略优先事项，即进行投资，以提高HBCU的研究能力和卓越的研究成果。在HBCU学习环境中产生的心理经验知识可以为HBCU未来的实践提供信息，同时也告知其他非HBCU机构如何培养心理丰富的环境，促进非裔美国人在STEM本科生中的学习和成功。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。
