HBCU UP TARGETED INFUSION PROJECT: HI-TECH STUDIO CLASSROOM AT FAYETTEVILLE STATE UNIVERSITY

历史上的黑人学院和大学本科生计划（HBCU-UP）通过有针对性的输液项目支持开发，实施和基于证据的创新模式和方法的研究，以提高HBCU本科生的准备和成功，使他们可以追求STEM研究生课程和/或职业。 费耶特维尔州立大学（FSU）的项目旨在采用以学生为中心的主动学习环境与倒置教学法（SCALE-UP），并建立一个高科技工作室教室，作为一个积极和协作的学习环境，以提高本科STEM教育的质量，并刺激学生在STEM领域的学习。 该项目的目标是：（1）在技术丰富、高度协作、动手、互动的学习环境中实施SCALE-UP和Flipped Education;（2）降低学生的失败率，提高学生对STEM课程的兴趣;以及（3）在FSU建立一个STEM教育者社区，以在其他STEM学科中复制高科技工作室教室。FSU的技术工作室教室，大约90%的课堂时间花在学生主导和动手活动上。通过与北卡罗莱纳州立大学和游标公司的合作，教师将在三年的项目中接受实施这种学习方法的培训。 许多研究表明，如果学生更多地参与学习过程，他们解决问题的能力和对材料的理解就会提高。 通过这个项目，课堂上的技术和实践活动将吸引学生并提高他们在STEM领域的学习。此外，以探究为主导的方法将提高他们解决问题和批判性思维的能力。 项目成果之一是学生将获得一种发现感，激励他们留在STEM学科。FSU是一个HBCU，学生中有66%是非洲裔美国人。女生占学生总数的70%。 到2017年夏天，超过1000名学生（50个班级）将受到该项目的影响。在不久的将来，更多的学生将从该项目中受益，在校园内的其他STEM和非STEM课程中进一步实施高科技工作室教室。 此外，一名博士后助教和至少50名学习助理将得到指导。 将对该项目进行形成性和总结性评估，以评估前苏联实施的有效性。 评估结果和经验教训将通过与其他STEM机构（包括K-12地区学校）的联系，通过发表论文、演讲和研讨会进行传播。 潜在的，评估和传播活动的结果将进一步有助于扩大/翻转课堂教学法，特别是在少数民族服务机构，除了生产高度参与本科STEM学生在化学和物理课目前的文献机构。

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) through Targeted Infusion Projects supports the development, implementation, and study of evidence-based innovative models and approaches for improving the preparation and success of HBCU undergraduate students so that they may pursue STEM graduate programs and/or careers. The project at Fayetteville State University (FSU) seeks to adapt a Student-Centered Active Learning Environment with Upside-down Pedagogies (SCALE-UP) and establish a Hi-Tech Studio classroom as an active and collaborative learning environment to enhance the quality of undergraduate STEM education and to stimulate students' learning in STEM fields. The goals of the project are to: (1) implement SCALE-UP and Flipped Education in a technology-rich, highly collaborative, hands-on, interactive learning environment; (2) reduce students' failure rate and increase student interest in STEM courses; and(3) build a community of STEM educators at FSU to replicate Hi-Tech Studio Classrooms in other STEM disciplines.SCALE-UP will be implemented in the Hi-Tech Studio Classroom at FSU where about 90% of class time is spent in student-led and hands-on activities. Through a partnership with Norh Carolina State University and the Vernier Company, faculty will be trained in implementing this learning approach during the three-year project. Numerous research studies have shown that if students are more engaged in the learning process, their problem-solving ability and understanding of material are improved. Through this project, technology and hands-on activities in the classroom will engage students and enhance their learning in STEM fields. Additionally, the inquiry-led approach will increase their problem-solving and critical thinking skills. One of the project outcomes is that students will obtain a sense of discovery that motivates them to remain in STEM disciplines. FSU is an HBCU with a student body that is 66% African American. Females make up 70% of the student population. By summer 2017, more than 1000 students (50 class sections) will be impacted by the project. Even more students will benefit from the project by further implementation of the Hi-Tech Studio classroom in other STEM and non-STEM courses on campus in the near future. In addition, one Postdoctoral Teaching Associate and at least 50 Learning Assistants will be mentored. The project will be evaluated both formatively and summatively to assess the effectiveness of the implementation at FSU. Evaluation results and lessons learned will be disseminated through published papers, presentations, and seminars through linkages to other STEM institutions, including area K-12 schools. Potentially, the results of the evaluation and dissemination activities will further contribute to the current body of literature on the SCALE-UP/Flipped Classroom pedagogy, particularly at minority-serving institutions, in addition to producing highly engaged undergraduate STEM students in chemistry and physics classes.
