Summer Institute for Research Design in Cultural Anthropology

由于人类学研究本质上是跨学科的，并且融合了多种研究方法，因此有效地准备STEM专业工作需要学生了解研究设计、定性和定量背景下的数据管理以及假设检验策略的概念。该方案补充了学生在其家庭部门接受的培训，迄今已培训了来自58个不同机构的204名学生。这种培训提高了学生做重要论文研究项目的能力，并成为更精通的专业科学家。文化人类学研究设计暑期研究所汇集了地区专家和研究生，对研究设计中的问题进行深入研究。该计划为学生提供了理论和科学方法之间的联系，在文化人类学，具有很强的干成分的基本理解，提高他们的能力，产生一个构思良好的书面研究建议，并为学生提供基础科研知识和技能，解决各种研究设计问题。该研究所将通过为学生提供科学研究设计和方法的坚实基础，推动科学和STEM教育以及文化人类学的培训。此外，这些学生将促进文化人类学的科学方法，以后代，因为他们自己成为教师。该研究所的主要目标是：1。提供博士学位。学生在文化人类学与干的经验，将提高他们的文化人类学科学研究设计的基本理解。2.）的情况。提高学生设计人类学研究的能力，包括数据收集和分析的STEM知情方法。3.）第三章为学生提供基础科研知识和技能，以便将来解决各种研究设计问题。4.）通过传播过程（即，学生最终成为教师）。为未来的教授提供科学研究设计培训将有助于确保文化人类学中科学方法和STEM学习的可行性和可持续性。

As anthropological research is inherently interdisciplinary and incorporates a wide variety of research methods, effective preparation for STEM professional work requires that students obtain an understanding of the concepts of research design, data management in both qualitative and quantitative contexts, and strategies of hypothesis testing. This program, which supplements the training students receive in their home departments, has trained over 204 students from 58 different institutions to date. This training increases the competence of students to do significant dissertation research projects and to become more proficient professional scientists.The Summer Institute for Research Design in Cultural Anthropology brings together area experts and graduate students for intensive study of issues in research design. The program provides students with a basic understanding of the link between theory and scientific methodology in cultural anthropology that has a strong STEM component, enhances their ability to produce a well-conceived and written research proposal, and provides students with basic scientific research knowledge and skills for solving a variety of research design problems. This institute will advance science and STEM education and training in cultural anthropology both now and well into the future by providing students with a solid foundation in scientific research design and methods. Additionally, these students will promote the scientific approach in cultural anthropology to future generations as they themselves become the teachers. The primary objectives of the institute are: 1.) To provide Ph.D. students in cultural anthropology with a STEM experience that will improve their basic understanding of scientific research design in cultural anthropology. 2.) To improve a student's ability to design anthropological research that involve STEM informed methods of data collection and analysis. 3.) To provide students with basic scientific research knowledge and skills for solving a variety of research design problems in the future. 4.) To promote and to expand the application of scientific research design in cultural anthropology through the process of diffusion (i.e., the students eventually becoming teachers themselves). Providing future professors with training in scientific research design will help ensure the viability and sustainability of scientific approaches and STEM learning in cultural anthropology.
