项目摘要

Researchers from the University of Texas at San Antonio and University of Kansas will examine how electronic mentoring (e-mentoring) affects student academic, career, and mental health outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is an important topic particularly for faculty who are forced to continue mentoring and supporting students through computer-mediated communication technology. The study investigates the life and work challenges for engineering graduate students affected by the COVID-19 outbreak and e-mentoring attitudes, support, and practices at U.S. institutions. The research will yield important insights about e-mentoring and generate empirical data to document the differential impact of e-mentoring practices on graduate students. The research results also will shed actionable guidance about how to address the life and academic challenges of engineering graduate students affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.The investigators will examine four research questions: (1) What are the life and work/academic challenges of engineering faculty and graduate students affected by the COVID- 19 outbreak? (2) What are the e-mentoring attitudes, support, ad practices of engineering faculty during the COVID-19 outbreak? (3) How do engineering graduate students’ perception of e-mentoring support associate with their academic, career, and mental health outcomes during the COVID-19 outbreak? and (4) To what extent do the relationships between perceived e-mentoring support and student outcomes vary by demographics, disciplines, and institutional characteristics? The conceptual model for the study was derived from the literature on faculty-student mentoring and adoption of new technologies/practices, face-to-face mentoring, and e-mentoring. The researchers will employ a multistage stratified sampling design to conduct two national online surveys using Qualtrics with faculty and students .from U.S. institutions, including minority-serving institutions. Descriptive statistics will be used to analyze the survey data. By highlighting the differential e-mentoring practices and outcomes for underrepresented groups, the project will offer evidence that can inform interventions aimed at broadening participation in STEM during a crisis. This RAPID award is made by the EHR Core Research (ECR) program in the Division of Graduate Education/Directorate of Education and Human Resources, using funds from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. ECR supports fundamental research focused on STEM learning and learning environments, broadening participation in STEM, and STEM workforce development.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.

来自德克萨斯大学圣安东尼奥分校和堪萨斯大学的研究人员将研究在新冠肺炎大流行期间，电子辅导如何影响学生的学业、职业和心理健康结果。这是一个重要的话题，尤其是对于那些被迫通过计算机媒介通信技术继续指导和支持学生的教职员工来说。这项研究调查了受新冠肺炎疫情影响的工程学研究生面临的生活和工作挑战，以及美国院校的电子指导态度、支持和做法。这项研究将产生关于电子指导的重要见解，并产生实证数据，以记录电子指导实践对研究生的不同影响。研究结果也将为如何应对受新冠肺炎影响的工科研究生的生活和学业挑战提供可行的指导。调查人员将调查四个研究问题：(1)受新冠肺炎影响的工程系教师和研究生的生活和工作/学业挑战是什么？(2)在新冠肺炎爆发期间，工程系教师的电子指导态度、支持和广告实践是什么？(3)在新冠肺炎爆发期间，工程学研究生对电子指导支持的感知与他们的学业、职业和心理健康结果是如何关联的？以及(4)感知的电子辅导支持和学生结果之间的关系在多大程度上因人口统计、学科和机构特征而异？这项研究的概念模型来自于关于师生指导和采用新技术/实践、面对面指导和电子指导的文献。研究人员将采用多阶段分层抽样设计，使用Qualtrics对教师和学生进行两项全国性在线调查。调查来自美国机构，包括为少数族裔服务的机构。将使用描述性统计来分析调查数据。通过突出代表不足群体的不同电子辅导做法和结果，该项目将提供证据，为旨在扩大危机期间参与STEM的干预措施提供依据。这一快速奖励是由研究生教育司/教育和人力资源局的EHR核心研究(ECR)计划利用冠状病毒援助、救济和经济安全(CARE)法案的资金做出的。ECR支持专注于STEM学习和学习环境、扩大对STEM的参与以及STEM劳动力发展的基础研究。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。
