PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT While STEM fields account for most high-wage U.S. economic growth, Latinx students are underrepresented in undergraduate and graduate STEM programs. Given well-established research linking grade completion, economic success, and overall health and well-being, this underrepresentation portends serious, negative, long-term physical and mental health outcomes for Latinx families. Access to higher education and enrollment in STEM programs is hindered by gaps in academic literacy and especially by unfamiliarity with scientific academic vocabulary (SAV), a subset of the academic register that is fundamental to STEM content- area learning, but uncommon in everyday conversation, particularly in low-SES homes where English is not the first language. To promote Latinx students’ SAV proficiency, we propose a technology-based approach to engage English learner families in culturally relevant evidence-based SAV home-based learning. We will complete development of a technology package that includes dual-language SAV voice technology learning tools enhanced with rich video and audio content. Talk STEM Familia (TSF) will be accessible via mobile phones, tablets, and smart-speaker devices. The complete program will include a word corpus of 72 frequent SAV words that appear in STEM texts across middle and secondary grades and curricula. Building familiarity with SAV words in upper elementary and middle school grade levels can have a significant impact on achievement, including performance on standardized tests in middle school t h a t influence the selection of science and technology electives in STEM. In each 10-minute learning experience, students and families receive dual language instruction, practice, and feedback on the pronunciation, meaning, and usage of one target SAV word. The program features Spanish-language home vignettes that model parents and children using SAV in familiar home contexts, and English-language vignettes that model teachers and students using SAV in grade-appropriate academic contexts. The learning games guide families through an instructional progression designed to incrementally build language skills and confidence, with activities designed to encourage word use in family conversations. This proposed Phase II project will use a three panel (pre-, mid-, and post-intervention) randomized controlled trial involving 300 Latinx upper elementary and middle school student/and their English learner parents to test the efficacy, acceptability, and usability of TSF in improving student and parent SAV knowledge and academic self-efficacy relative to business-as-usual.

项目总结/摘要 虽然STEM领域占美国经济增长的大部分，但拉丁裔学生的代表性不足 本科生和研究生STEM课程。鉴于成熟的研究与完成学业有关， 经济上的成功，以及整体的健康和福祉，这种代表性不足预示着严重的，负面的， 拉丁裔家庭的长期身心健康结果。接受高等教育和 STEM课程的入学受到学术素养差距的阻碍，特别是不熟悉 科学学术词汇（SAV），是STEM内容的基础学术注册的子集- 区域学习，但在日常对话中并不常见，特别是在英语不 第一语言。为了提高拉丁美洲学生的SAV水平，我们提出了一种基于技术的方法， 让英语学习者家庭参与文化相关的基于证据的SAV家庭学习。我们将 完成技术包的开发，包括双语言SAV语音技术学习 通过丰富的视频和音频内容增强的工具。Talk STEM Familia（TSF）将通过移动的访问 手机、平板电脑和智能扬声器设备。完整的程序将包括一个词语料库的72频繁 SAV单词出现在初中和高中年级和课程的STEM文本中。建筑熟悉度 与SAV的话，在高小学和中学年级水平可以有显着的影响， 成绩，包括在中学标准化考试中的表现，不会影响对学生的选择。 STEM中的科学和技术选修课。在每10分钟的学习体验中，学生和家庭 接受双语教学，练习，并对发音，意义和使用一个反馈 目标SAV字。该计划的特点是西班牙语的家庭小插曲，模型的父母和孩子 在熟悉的家庭环境中使用SAV，以及模拟教师和学生使用 SAV在年级适当的学术背景下。学习游戏通过一个指导性的 旨在逐步建立语言技能和信心的进展，活动旨在 鼓励在家庭对话中使用单词。该拟议的第二阶段项目将使用三个面板（前，中， 和干预后）随机对照试验，涉及300名拉丁裔上小学和中学 学生和他们的英语学习者家长测试TSF的有效性，可接受性和可用性，以提高 学生和家长SAV知识和学业自我效能感相对于一切照旧。
