Capacity building: Understanding American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian student outcomes in the STEM education research literature

该项目将对美国印第安人、阿拉斯加原住民、夏威夷原住民、STEM教育和学习的研究进行文献综述，并将土著人口作为一个更大的未被充分代表的种族和少数民族群体的一部分进行研究。该项目的最终教育意义在于确定切实可行的策略，以解决美国原住民在STEM教育和职业方面极度缺乏的问题。该项目的成果将为未来的规划奠定基础，以促进美国印第安人、阿拉斯加原住民和夏威夷原住民参与STEM教育和职业。该项目的目标之一是了解如何在更广泛的未被充分代表的少数民族讨论中最好地理解美国印第安人，阿拉斯加原住民和夏威夷原住民的STEM经历和保留。为此，研究人员将进行二次文献综述，以确定共同的主题。这项文献综述将导致STEM教育和土著人口专家研讨会。研讨会参与者将讨论研究的现状，确定研究的主题和差距，以便制定一项行动计划来指导未来的研究，并为美国印第安人、阿拉斯加原住民和夏威夷原住民教育组织（如美国印第安人科学与工程学会（AISES））提供最佳实践。

This project will result in a literature review of studies of American Indian, Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiian and STEM education and learning as well as studies that include Indigenous populations as part of a larger underrepresented racial and ethnic minority group. The ultimate educational significance of this project is to identify practical strategies to address the extreme dearth of Native Americans in STEM education and careers. The outcomes of this project will set the stage for future programming to foster the participation of American Indian, Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiian in STEM education and careers.One of the goals of this project is to understand how the STEM experiences and retention of American Indian, Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiian populations can be best understood within the broader underrepresented minority discussion. To do this, the investigators will conduct a secondary literature review aiming to identify common themes. This literature review will lead to a workshop of experts in STEM education and Indigenous populations. The workshop participants will discuss the current state of research, identifying themes and gaps in the research in order to develop an action plan to guide future research as well as provide best practices for American Indian, Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiian educational organizations like the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES).
