This capacity-building project, administered by the University of Hawaii, is designed to develop the investigator’s knowledge and skills in STEM Education research (SER) through participation in intensive professional growth activities including mentoring by a team of experts in STEM Education research, workshops in research methods and cultural competence, and participation in SER professional conferences. In tandem with the project’s professional development activities, the investigator will design and implement a SER study focused on the use of justice-oriented approaches in data science education (DSE) to increase participation of people from underrepresented groups in the study of data science. The research findings will add to the body of knowledge on best practices for broadening participation in STEM.The investigator will engage in a comprehensive set of professional growth activities that addresses gaps in SER knowledge identified through self-assessment, including regular formative meetings with mentors throughout the project’s two-year duration. The research study will test hypotheses regarding the effects of justice-oriented data science training on undergraduate and graduate student participants’ justice-orientation, as well as sense-of-belonging, persistence, and success in DSE. Data will be collected via surveys, interviews, focus groups and reflections and analyzed and interpreted using qualitative and quantitative methods. The project will broaden participation in STEM and inform best practices for DSE that support transdisciplinary engagement and are inclusive of underrepresented groups. Research findings and intervention products, adaptable for use in multiple contexts, will be widely disseminated. Long-term societal benefits include the potential for improved economic mobility and self-determination for diverse peoples and engagement with regional and global justice challenges.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.

该能力建设项目由夏威夷大学管理，旨在通过参与密集的专业成长活动（包括 STEM 教育研究专家团队的指导、研究方法和文化能力研讨会以及参加 SER 专业会议）来培养研究者在 STEM 教育研究 (SER) 方面的知识和技能。与该项目的专业发展活动相结合，研究者将设计和实施一项 SER 研究，重点是在数据科学教育 (DSE) 中使用公正导向的方法，以增加代表性不足群体的人们对数据科学研究的参与。研究结果将丰富有关扩大 STEM 参与的最佳实践的知识体系。研究者将参与一套全面的专业成长活动，以解决通过自我评估发现的 SER 知识差距，包括在项目的两年期间与导师定期举行形成性会议。该研究将检验有关正义导向的数据科学培训对本科生和研究生参与者的正义导向以及 DSE 的归属感、毅力和成功的影响的假设。将通过调查、访谈、焦点小组和反思收集数据，并使用定性和定量方法进行分析和解释。该项目将扩大 STEM 的参与范围，并为 DSE 提供最佳实践，支持跨学科参与并包容代表性不足的群体。适用于多种情况的研究成果和干预产品将得到广泛传播。长期社会效益包括改善不同民族的经济流动性和自决权以及应对区域和全球正义挑战的潜力。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
