项目摘要

The post-COVID movement of first-year courses to virtual environments led to increased underrepresented minority student enrollment but decreased student engagement. In this project Indian River State College aims to improve student engagement by piloting the use of high impact teaching practices, specifically in an online environment. In particular, the project seeks to increase enrollment, persistence, and successful completion of College Algebra and General Biology lab, two gateway courses that are fundamental for further progress in STEM disciplines. This project will modify techniques used in the in-person environment to improve online student success. Peer learning assistants will be placed in virtual courses to increase support for online learners. Content will be taught using process-oriented guided inquiry learning, a method shown to increase student engagement and improve processing skills in face-to-face courses. Using these practices, the college expects to increase the number of students retained through the next science and math classes and improve the likelihood that they will complete a STEM degree.This project will explore how embedded peer learning assistants and guided inquiry methods can be used in virtual modalities to promote student engagement, persistence, and completion for students pursuing their degrees at a community college. Two goals guide the work of the project's investigators. First is to increase the percentage of students enrolled in online College Algebra and General Biology lab courses with embedded peer tutors and guided inquiry teaching techniques. Second is to increase the percentage of Hispanic students persisting from first to second semester Mathematics and Biology. The project will increase the number of minority students that pursue STEM careers and the number of graduates from groups whose participation in STEM is proportionately less than their representation within the general population. The project’s results and pedagogical best practices will be shared through publications, a website, and the college’s Open Education Resource depository. The HSI Program aims to enhance undergraduate STEM education, broaden participation in STEM, and build capacity at HSIs. Achieving these aims, given the diverse nature and context of the HSIs, requires innovative approaches that incentivize institutional and community transformation and promote fundamental research (i) on engaged student learning, (ii) about what it takes to diversify and increase participation in STEM effectively, and (iii) that improves our understanding of how to build institutional capacity at HSIs. Projects supported by the HSI Program will also draw from these approaches to generate new knowledge on how to achieve these aims.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.
COVID之后,一年级课程转移到虚拟环境,导致代表不足的少数族裔学生入学人数增加,但学生参与度下降。在这个项目中,印度河州立学院旨在通过试点使用高影响力的教学实践,特别是在在线环境中,来提高学生的参与度。特别是,该项目旨在增加招生人数、坚持不懈地完成大学代数和普通生物学实验室的课程,这两门课程是STEM学科进一步进步的基础。该项目将修改在面对面环境中使用的技术,以提高在线学生的成功。将在虚拟课程中放置同伴学习助手,以增加对在线学习者的支持。内容将使用面向过程的指导性探究学习来教授,这是一种在面对面课程中提高学生参与度和处理技能的方法。利用这些做法,该学院希望通过下一堂科学和数学课程留住更多的学生,并提高他们完成STEM学位的可能性。该项目将探索如何在虚拟模式中使用嵌入式同伴学习助手和引导式探究方法,以促进在社区大学攻读学位的学生的参与度、坚持性和完成度。两个目标指导着该项目调查人员的工作。首先是增加在线大学代数和普通生物学实验室课程的注册学生比例,嵌入同行辅导和引导式探究教学技术。第二,提高西班牙裔学生从第一学期到第二学期坚持学习数学和生物的比例。该项目将增加从事STEM职业的少数族裔学生的数量,以及参加STEM的比例低于他们在总人口中的比例的群体的毕业生人数。该项目的结果和教学最佳实践将通过出版物、网站和学院的开放教育资源库共享。HSI计划旨在加强本科生STEM教育,扩大STEM的参与,并建设HSIS的能力。鉴于高等教育机构的不同性质和背景,实现这些目标需要创新的方法,以激励机构和社区的变革,并促进基础研究(I)关于学生参与式学习,(Ii)关于如何有效地多样化和增加对STEM的参与,以及(Iii)提高我们对如何建设高等教育机构能力的理解。HSI计划支持的项目也将从这些方法中获得如何实现这些目标的新知识。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。
