项目摘要
Early exposure to research has been shown to be formative to a student’s decision to pursue STEM, yet research experiences are not readily available to community college students. Community college students constitute one-third of U.S. undergraduates and consist of larger portions of underrepresented communities, a potential pipeline for a STEM workforce that reflects the diversity of the local community. This project will develop co-curricular programming that acclimates community college students to STEM and the academic process. A cohort of first year students will be recruited each semester, over five years, to a workshop series that provides academic guidance, mentorship, exposure to STEM research, careers, and community-building activities. Students who demonstrate promise at the end of the semester will be invited to attend a national conference. This project will recruit first-year community college students to attend STEM conferences to explore how their interactions with the scientific community at large impact academic trajectory. The project will investigate how identifying as a scientist early on plays a role in student persistence and retention in STEM. Informed by Social Cognitive Career Theory, the project will take an action research approach to adapt programming to the needs of the cohort to account for variabilities in college preparedness and education loss due to the pandemic. Student mindset will be determined by surveys and interviews, so that programmatic evaluation leads to informed decisions in a timely manner. The longer-term effects of the program will be assessed by student output such as participation in research programs, extra-curricular work, transfer to STEM baccalaureate programs, testimonials, and other indicators of student trajectory. The proposed study will generate discipline-based research specific to community colleges, lending insight on how underrepresented students find their way to STEM research. This project aims to show how underrepresented students from community colleges can start to identify as scientists by capitalizing on their curiosity and love of learning. Findings will be disseminated in research conferences and papers. This project has implication for using conference participation to promote equity and will be a driver for diversifying the STEM workforce.This project is funded through the Racial Equity in STEM Education activity (EDU Racial Equity). The activity supports research and practice projects that investigate how considerations of racial equity factor into the improvement of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and workforce. Awarded projects seek to center the voices, knowledge, and experiences of the individuals, communities, and institutions most impacted by systemic inequities within the STEM enterprise. This activity aligns with NSF’s core value of supporting outstanding researchers and innovative thinkers from across the Nation's diversity of demographic groups, regions, and types of organizations. Programs across EDU contribute funds to the Racial Equity activity in recognition of the alignment of its projects with the collective research and development thrusts of the four divisions of the directorate.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.
早期接触研究已被证明是形成学生的决定追求干,但研究经验是不容易提供给社区大学的学生。社区学院的学生占美国本科生的三分之一,并且由代表性不足的社区组成,这是反映当地社区多样性的STEM劳动力的潜在渠道。该项目将开发共同课程编程,使社区大学生适应STEM和学术过程。一年级学生的队列将每学期招募,超过五年,以提供学术指导,导师,接触干研究,职业和社区建设活动的研讨会系列。在学期末表现出希望的学生将被邀请参加全国会议。该项目将招募社区学院一年级学生参加STEM会议,探讨他们与科学界的互动如何对学术轨迹产生重大影响。该项目将调查如何识别作为一个科学家早期发挥作用,在学生的坚持和保留在干。根据社会认知职业理论,该项目将采取行动研究方法,使方案编制适应同龄人的需求,以考虑到大流行病造成的大学准备和教育损失的差异。学生的心态将通过调查和访谈来确定,以便项目评估能够及时做出明智的决定。该计划的长期影响将通过学生的产出进行评估,例如参与研究计划,课外工作,转移到STEM学士学位课程,推荐书和学生轨迹的其他指标。拟议的研究将产生专门针对社区学院的基于学科的研究,深入了解代表性不足的学生如何找到STEM研究的方法。该项目旨在展示来自社区学院的代表性不足的学生如何通过利用他们的好奇心和对学习的热爱来开始识别为科学家。研究结果将在研究会议和论文中传播。 该项目具有利用会议参与促进公平的含义,并将成为STEM劳动力多样化的驱动力。该项目通过STEM教育活动中的种族公平(EDU种族公平)资助。该活动支持研究和实践项目,调查种族平等因素如何影响科学,技术,工程和数学(STEM)教育和劳动力的改善。获奖项目旨在集中STEM企业内受系统性不平等影响最大的个人,社区和机构的声音,知识和经验。这项活动符合NSF的核心价值,即支持来自全国人口群体,地区和组织类型多样性的杰出研究人员和创新思想家。教育大学的各个项目为种族平等活动提供资金,以表彰其项目与董事会四个部门的集体研究和开发目标的一致性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
