PIPES: Possibilities in Postsecondary Education and Science among rural Appalachian youth

PIPES:阿巴拉契亚农村青年接受高等教育和科学的可能性

基本信息

项目摘要

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Rural Appalachia is a medically underserved area whose residents experience significant healthcare disparities. Because of the insular nature of rural Appalachian communities, change from within is particularly important. Thus, attracting residents from these areas to the biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research workforce may be essential for reducing the critical health disparities in the region. However, the low income, high unemployment, and substandard health care that epitomize rural Appalachia evolve in part from a fundamentally devalued educational system. Studies show that students in these reduced-income rural schools have lower educational aspirations and are less likely to consider college as a viable option due to the contextual barriers they face, including limited economic resources, few role models with postsecondary education, a lack of active parental support, and a fear of 'fitting in' to the college lifestyle. However, studies also indicate that these same students possess a fiercely independent nature that would serve as a critical asset for achieving success in higher learning pursuits, and that strong cultural links would promote 'giving back' to their community's needs. Thus, rural Appalachian students possess the skills and capacities to succeed in a postsecondary educational environment if they could effectively confront and eliminate the perceived barriers preventing them from doing so. Our long range goal in this effort is to develop efficacious interventions that both reduce these contextual barriers (via mentoring and support) and increase interest in (via direct exposure to research and career options) pipeline science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medical science (STEMM) majors among Appalachian youth. Our objective is to determine the extent to which such a multifaceted intervention strategy leads to increased intentions to pursue an undergraduate STEMM degree. Our hypothesis is that students who experience such interventions will show increases in important intrapersonal social-cognitive factors and in their intentions to pursue a postsecondary degree than students not exposed to such interventions. Our specific aims are to 1) understand the role of barriers to and support for higher education in Appalachian high school students' interest in pursuing STEMM-related undergraduate degrees, and 2) to develop sustainable interventions that decrease barriers to and increase support for higher education and that increase STEMM-related self- efficacy and interest. Achieving these aims will provide concrete tools for schools across rural Appalachia to use to increase the number of their students equipped with the skillsets required to join our State's high-growth biomedical and clinical research industry workforce.
 描述(由申请人提供):阿巴拉契亚农村是一个医疗服务不足的地区,其居民经历了严重的医疗保健差距。由于阿巴拉契亚农村社区的与世隔绝的性质,从内部进行变革尤为重要。因此,吸引这些地区的居民进入生物医学、行为和临床研究队伍可能对减少该地区严重的健康差距至关重要。然而,阿巴拉契亚农村的低收入、高失业率和不合格的医疗保健在一定程度上是从根本上贬值的教育系统演变而来的。研究表明,这些收入减少的农村学校的学生教育抱负较低,由于面临的背景障碍,他们不太可能认为上大学是一个可行的选择,这些障碍包括有限的经济资源,很少有大专教育的榜样,缺乏积极的父母支持,以及对‘适应’大学生活方式的恐惧。然而,研究也表明,这些学生具有强烈的独立性,这将成为在高等教育领域取得成功的关键资产,而强大的文化联系将促进对他们所在社区的需求的回馈。因此,如果阿巴拉契亚农村的学生能够有效地面对和消除阻碍他们这样做的公认障碍,他们就拥有在高等教育环境中取得成功的技能和能力。我们这项工作的长期目标是开发有效的干预措施,既减少这些背景障碍(通过指导和支持),又提高(通过直接接触研究和职业选择)阿巴拉契亚青年对管道科学、技术、工程、数学和医学(STEMM)专业的兴趣。我们的目标是确定这种多方面的干预策略在多大程度上导致了攻读本科生STEMM学位的意愿增加。我们的假设是,与没有经历过这种干预的学生相比,经历过这种干预的学生会在重要的个人内部社会认知因素和他们攻读大专学位的意图上表现出更多的增加。我们的具体目标是:1)了解阻碍和支持阿巴拉契亚高中生攻读STEMM相关本科学位的障碍和支持的作用;2)开发可持续的干预措施,减少高等教育的障碍和增加对高等教育的支持,并提高STEMM相关的自我效能和兴趣。实现这些目标将为阿巴拉契亚农村地区的学校提供具体的工具,以增加其学生人数,使其具备加入我们州高速增长的生物医学和临床研究行业劳动力所需的技能。
