本演示重点介绍了改善高中 (HS) 计算机科学 (CS) 课程招收和代表性不足的学生的参与度的策略。 CS 多样性、公平性和包容性 (DEI) 战略在研究人员与从业者伙伴关系 (RPP) 的协作结构内运作，由罗格斯大学计算机科学教学与学习合作实验室 (CS-TLC) 的成员构思，该实验室是一个由 NSF 资助的 RPP，专门为培养学校提供严格、包容的 CS 教育 (CSE) 的能力而建立。通过对当前实践的审核和反思，结合教育文献中的主要发现的综合，CS-TLC 制定了一项三管齐下的战略来解决公平的学生招生问题 - (i) 调整沟通和外展活动，(ii) 重新审视和更新直接或间接影响招生和参与的相关机构实践或政策，以及 (iii) 加强现有的教学实践。该演示文稿将预览这些方法中的每一种，分享有关其功效的初步定性证据，并强调在 RPP 内开展此类工作的好处。
This presentation highlights strategies for improving recruitment and engagement of under-represented students into high school (HS) computer science (CS) classes. Operating within the collaborative structure of a researcher-practitioner partnership (RPP), the CS diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategies were conceived by members of the Rutgers Computer Science Teaching & Learning Collaboratory (CS-TLC), an NSF-funded RPP specifically established to build the capacity of schools to provide rigorous, inclusive CS education (CSE). Through an audit and reflection on current practice coupled with a synthesis of major findings from the education literature, CS-TLC formulated a three-pronged strategy to address equitable student recruitment - (i) tailoring communication and outreach activities, (ii) revisiting and updating relevant institutional practices or policies that directly or indirectly impact recruitment and engagement, and (iii) enhancing existing instructional practices. The presentation will preview each of these approaches, share preliminary qualitative evidence regarding their efficacy, and highlight the benefits of working within an RPP to conduct such work.
