Working Meeting on Systemic Change and the Future of Undergraduate STEM Education

在NSF改善本科STEM教育计划：教育和人力资源（IUSE：EHR）的支持下，该项目旨在通过以下方式为国家利益服务：1）确定扩大努力改善本科STEM教学的关键杠杆; 2）澄清技术和劳动力的趋势，这些趋势可能会改变本科STEM教育的未来，并需要在制定系统性变革战略时加以考虑。这个小型会议是美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院本科STEM教育系统变革圆桌会议工作的一部分。会议期间的讨论将为圆桌会议的未来工作提供信息，并制定其行动议程。为期两天的会议将汇集对本科STEM教育未来有多种观点的利益相关者。第一天的重点是STEM高等教育企业如何思考，谈论和评估本科生的教学，以及扩展循证教学的策略，以覆盖所有背景和目标的学生。STEM学科学会的代表将是这些讨论的主要参与者。第二天将考虑全球化和技术变革对本科STEM学习的影响。参与者将建立网络并共同制定战略，讨论如何在周围系统的多重压力下教育日益多元化的学生群体。此外，与会者将从会议中获得新的想法，广泛而系统地思考如何改善本科STEM教育中的学生学习。NSF IUSE：EHR计划支持研究和开发项目，以提高所有学生STEM教育的有效性。通过机构和社区转型的轨道，该计划支持的努力，以改变和改善高等教育机构和学科社区的STEM教育.这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估支持.

With support from the NSF Improving Undergraduate STEM Education Program: Education and Human Resources (IUSE: EHR), this project aims to serve the national interest by 1) identifying key levers for expanding efforts to improve instruction in undergraduate STEM and 2) clarifying trends in technology and the workforce that may transform the future of undergraduate STEM education and need to be considered in building strategies for systemic change. This small conference is part of the work of the Roundtable on Systemic Change in Undergraduate STEM Education at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. Discussions at the meeting will inform the Roundtable's future work and shape its agenda for action.The two-day conference will bring together stakeholders with many perspectives on the future of undergraduate STEM education. The first day will focus on how the STEM higher education enterprise thinks about, talks about, and evaluates teaching of undergraduates, as well as strategies for scaling evidence-based instruction to reach students of all backgrounds and goals. Representatives of disciplinary societies in STEM will be key participants in these discussions. The second day will consider the impact of globalization and technological change on undergraduate STEM learning. Participants will network and strategize together about how to educate the increasingly diverse student population in the context of multiple pressures from the surrounding system. Additionally, participants will come away from the conference with new ideas for thinking broadly and systemically about improving student learning in undergraduate STEM education. The NSF IUSE: EHR Program supports research and development projects to improve the effectiveness of STEM education for all students. Through the Institutional and Community Transformation track, the program supports efforts to transform and improve STEM education across institutions of higher education and disciplinary communities.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
