Transforming Academic and Cultural Identidad through Biliteracy

通过双语转变学术和文化身份(TACIB)是加州州立大学富勒顿分校(CSUF)、阿纳海姆联盟H.S.学区和发现科学中心作为核心合作伙伴，阿纳海姆市学区和加州双语教育协会作为支持合作伙伴的合作伙伴，通过在南加州一个以拉丁裔为主的城市社区实施综合双语/双沉浸策略，促进五到八年级学生在数学和科学方面的成就和态度。TACIB原型将家庭语言和文化视为资产，整合了教育支持系统的多个维度(正式、非正式、职前、在职、家庭、社区、高等教育)，并在说西班牙语和英语的学生中表彰和发展积极的STEM身份和文化身份。TACIB进一步实现了针对中学生的目标，并通过以下方式促进可持续成果：在伙伴学区通过双语授权提高数学和科学教师的质量和人数；让家长参与学生科学和数学学习；扩大一个非正式科学机构(探索科学中心)提供西班牙语课程的能力；在大学学科STEM教员中提高对小学和中学科学和数学教育的认识和参与；TACIB的研究议程通过使用定性和定量策略的多方法研究，包括与处理和对照组的准实验设计，解决了以下问题：a)双语教学对学生的科学和数学成就和态度有什么影响？b)双语课堂中的哪些教学活动有助于学生积极参与学习科学和数学？以及c)家长与双语教师和社区合作伙伴的互动如何提高家长对学生教育活动的了解和参与？通过这一原型MSP的工作，STEM教育界将受益于所建立的与创建动态学习生态系统相关的知识，该生态系统尊重并参与学生、家庭和社区的语言和文化层面，以促进在数学和科学方面的成就和积极态度。

Transforming Academic and Cultural Identidad through Biliteracy (TACIB) is a Partnership of California State University-Fullerton (CSUF), the Anaheim Union H.S. District and the Discovery Science Center as Core Partners, and Anaheim City School District and the California Association for Bilingual Education as Supporting Partners, that advances fifth to eighth grade student achievement in and attitudes toward mathematics and science through integrated dual-language/dual-immersion strategies in an urban predominantly Latino community in southern California. The TACIB prototype recognizes home linguistics and culture as assets, is integrated in multiple dimensions of the educational support system (formal, informal, pre-service, in-service, family, community, higher education), and honors and develops positive STEM identity and cultural identity among students who speak Spanish and English. TACIB further achieves its goals for middle school students and promotes sustainable outcomes by: increasing the quality and number of teachers in mathematics and science with bilingual authorization in the partner school districts; engaging parents in student science and mathematics learning; expanding the capacity of an informal science institution (Discovery Science Center) to offer programs in Spanish; developing awareness of and engagement with science and mathematics education in elementary and secondary schools among university disciplinary STEM faculty; and bolstering the capacity of CSUF to prepare bilingual teachers of science and mathematics.Through the use of a multiple-methodology research employing qualitative and quantitative strategies, including quasi-experimental design with treatment and comparison groups, the TACIB research agenda addresses the following questions: a) What are the effects of a dual-language approach on student achievement in and attitudes toward science and mathematics?; b) What instructional activities in dual-language classrooms facilitate students' active engagement in learning science and mathematics?; and c) How does parental engagement with dual-language teachers and community partners enhance parents' knowledge of and participation in students' educational activities? Through the work of this Prototype MSP, the STEM education community will benefit from the knowledge built related to what it takes to create dynamic learning ecosystems that respect and engage the linguistic and cultural dimensions of students, families, and communities in order to promote achievement in and positive dispositions toward mathematics and science.
