This project was submitted in response to EHR Core Research (ECR) program announcement NSF 19-508. The ECR program of fundamental research in STEM education provides funding in critical research areas that are essential, broad and enduring. ECR supports projects that help synthesize, build and/or expand research foundations in the following focal areas: STEM learning, STEM learning environments, STEM workforce development, and broadening participation in STEM. The ECR program is distinguished by its emphasis on the accumulation of robust evidence to inform efforts to (a) understand, (b) build theory to explain, and (c) suggest interventions (and innovations) to address persistent challenges in STEM interest, education, learning, and participation. This conference, to be held at the Pepperdine University campus, will build the capacity of NSF-supported communities to benefit from the highly promising research methodology of quantitative ethnography (QE). This training workshop for young scholars, embedded in conference, supports the goals of the ECR program by developing a community of early career researchers to carefully use quantitative ethnography in the conduct of basic STEM education research. These scholars will be prepared to examine and empirically test new theory consistent with the central goals of the ECR program. The funding will support: a) attendance and training at an international conference on QE for doctoral and early career researchers to be held in the U.S., b) a technical immersion preconference workshop that several of participating researchers would lead for these young scholars, and c) a broader slate of symposium speakers who represent NSF supported disciplines that QE methods can benefit significantly.The intellectual merit of the conference arises both from the appeal or promise of QE across numerous fields. The proposed activities are organized around broadening the impact of QE’s intellectual merit across new disciplines. The project maintains a consistent emphasis on furnishing next-generation researchers with conceptual and software tools and methodology to address important current and future questions across the spectrum of fields NSF supports in social sciences, basic STEM education research, and the learning sciences.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.

该项目是为了响应EHR核心研究（ECR）计划公告NSF 19-508而提交的。在STEM教育的基础研究ECR计划提供资金在关键的研究领域是必不可少的，广泛的和持久的。ECR支持有助于综合，建立和/或扩大以下重点领域的研究基础的项目：STEM学习，STEM学习环境，STEM劳动力发展和扩大STEM的参与。ECR计划的特点是强调积累强有力的证据，以（a）理解，（B）建立理论来解释，（c）提出干预措施（和创新），以解决STEM兴趣，教育，学习和参与方面的持续挑战。本次会议将在佩珀代因大学校园举行，将建立NSF支持的社区的能力，从定量民族志（QE）的非常有前途的研究方法中受益。这个为年轻学者举办的培训研讨会，嵌入在会议中，通过发展一个早期职业研究人员社区来支持ECR计划的目标，以便在基础STEM教育研究中仔细使用定量民族志。这些学者将准备检查和实证检验新的理论与ECR计划的中心目标一致。资金将用于支持：a）参加在美国举行的针对博士和早期职业研究人员的量化宽松国际会议并接受培训，B）一个技术沉浸会前研讨会，几个参与的研究人员将领导这些年轻学者，和c）一个更广泛的座谈会发言人名单谁代表NSF支持的学科，量化宽松的方法可以大大受益。会议的智力价值来自量化宽松在众多领域的吸引力或承诺。拟议的活动是围绕着扩大量化宽松的知识价值在新学科中的影响而组织的。该项目始终强调为下一代研究人员提供概念和软件工具和方法，以解决NSF在社会科学，基础STEM教育研究，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进行评估来支持审查标准。
