LSAMP SUNY Phase III Research Project: Research on Student Support Services and Graduate Issues

纽约州立大学路易斯·斯托克斯少数群体参与联盟(SUNY LSAMP)第三阶段教育研究项目侧重于学生支持服务和毕业生问题。该项目采用混合方法的研究计划，使用定量和定性方法，回答与本科生和研究生水平有关的问题，进入大学，并努力建立最佳做法的模型。这项研究将探讨这样的问题：1)成功的辅导计划的要素是什么？2)人员配备和服务提供的变化：本科生研究的主要好处和挑战是什么？3)在少数族裔学生完成大学学业并展望未来之际，各种动机对他们的相对重要性是什么？4)哪些因素导致少数族裔研究生渴望或拒绝在教授职位上工作？项目结果将确定成功的方法和成功的原因。将制定一个模式，以规划学术和个人支持以及在各种环境下鼓励少数族裔学生升学到研究生学习的成功战略。研究结果将通过学术文章、在会议上的陈述、相关网站和石溪大学国家包容性教育中心传播。其他33个国家科学基金会路易斯·斯托克斯联盟将利用若干不同的论坛直接受益于传播结果。

The State University of New York Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (SUNY LSAMP) Phase III educational research project focuses on student support services and graduate issues. The project employs a mixed method research plan, using both quantitative and qualitative methods, to answer questions pertaining to undergraduate and graduate level student attainment into the professoriate and to work toward models of best practices. The study will examine such questions as:1) What are the elements of a successful tutoring program?2) Variations in staffing and the delivery of services: what are the principal benefits and challenges in undergraduate research?3) What is the relative importance of various motivations on underrepresented minority students as they complete college and look toward the future? 4) What factors lead minority graduate students to aspire to or reject careers in the professoriate? Project results will identify successful approaches and the reasons for the success. A model will be developed for planning academic and personal support as well as successful strategies to encourage progression to graduate study for minority students in a variety of settings.The results of the study will be disseminated through scholarly articles, presentations at conferences, via relevant websites and through the National Center for Inclusive Education at Stony Brook University. The 33 other National Science Foundation Louis Stokes Alliances will be direct beneficiaries of the dissemination results using a number of different forums.
