The proposed research investigates the contribution to sustainable development ofhigh-impact educational practices (HIEPs) delivered by non-governmentalorganizations (NGOs) to undergraduate students. HIEPs include writing-intensivecourses, undergraduate research, group projects, community- and service-basedlearning, study abroad, and internships (Kuh 2008). The aim of such HIEPs is topromote students' success in academic, professional, and civic settings, with extantevidence gathered in the US showing HIEPs do so (Brownell and Swaner 2009; Kilgoet al 2015). Palestine is the site of the research, given the longstanding proliferation ofNGOs and their HIEPs projects there (see Calis 2013). In Palestine, NGO-deliveredHIEPs are increasingly significant for achieving sustainable development, especiallythe fourth Sustainable Development Goal on education and its mission in buildingcapacities for sustainable development. Yet, like in other developing countries, HIEPsin Palestine lack any scholarly investigation, especially when delivered in non-formaleducational settings. To tackle this knowledge gap, the research will use aninterpretivist approach and qualitative methods to answer three primary questions:How and why are NGOs delivering HIEPs? What benefits arise for participants fromthese HIEPs? What factors maximise the impact of NGO-delivered HIEPs? Overall,this research will (i) expand current knowledge of and improve education policy onnon-formal education for development; and (ii) deepen understanding of the role ofeducational NGOs and the impact of HIEPs in a developing country, with the ultimategoal of making NGO-delivered HIEPs more effective in building in and beyondPalestine a citizenry capable of contributing to sustainable development.

本研究旨在探讨非政府组织（NGO）为大学生提供的高影响力教育实践（HIEPs）对大学生可持续发展的贡献。HIEPs包括写作强化课程、本科生研究、小组项目、社区和基于服务的学习、出国留学和实习（Kuh 2008）。这样的HIEPs的目的是促进学生在学术，专业和公民环境中的成功，在美国收集的大量证据表明HIEPs这样做（Brownell和Swaner 2009; Kilgoet al 2015）。巴勒斯坦是研究的地点，因为长期以来非政府组织及其HIEPs项目在那里扩散（见Calis 2013）。在巴勒斯坦，非政府组织提供的高收入执行计划对于实现可持续发展，特别是关于教育的第四个可持续发展目标及其在建设可持续发展能力方面的使命越来越重要。然而，与其他发展中国家一样，巴勒斯坦的HIEP缺乏任何学术研究，特别是在非正规教育环境中提供的情况。为了解决这一知识差距，研究将使用解释主义的方法和定性方法来回答三个主要问题：如何以及为什么非政府组织提供HIEP？从这些HIEP中为参与者带来了哪些好处？哪些因素使非政府组织提供的高收入执行方案的影响最大化？总体而言，这项研究将（i）扩大对非正规教育促进发展的现有认识，并改进这方面的教育政策;（ii）加深对非政府教育组织的作用和发展中国家高收入执行计划的影响的理解，最终目标是使非政府组织实施的高收入执行计划更有效地在巴勒斯坦内外建设一个能够为可持续发展作出贡献的公民群体。
