Student Data in the Post-Pandemic University

这个项目是一个定性的研究如何数据形状和被塑造的学生。它将侧重于学生如何理解和应对数据收集。特别是，该项目将解决社会差异如何影响学生与数据技术的互动。研究结果将为政策建议提供信息，以应对数据收集和使用的潜在差异和不平等影响。其结果将适用于教育背景以及其他社会领域。调查结果将在学术场所以及政策和面向学生的文件中提供，旨在提高学生对校园数据收集的认识和理解。该项目的成果将引起教育工作者、科学家、管理人员、学生和公众的兴趣。该研究将招募本科生参与远程调查和深入访谈，以调查学生如何理解他们在校园中的数据收集和应用，沿着他们的数据体验如何与社会差异相关。该项目的结果将适用于高等教育以外的其他形式的数据监测，这些监测在日常生活中已经很普遍。该研究还将有助于STS、人类学和社会学领域关于数据与人之间互动的越来越多的学术研究，其中数据通过决策和预测系统越来越多地影响人们的生活。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为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来支持。

This project is a qualitative study of how data shape and are shaped by students. It will focus on how students understand and react to data collection. In particular, the project will address how social differences affect students' interactions with data technologies. Results from the research will inform policy recommendations to counter potential disparate and unequal effects of data collection and use. The results will be applicable in education contexts as well as other societal domains. Findings will be made available in academic venues as well as policy and student-facing documents intended to improve students' awareness and comprehension of data collection on campuses. The outcomes of this project will be of interest to educators, scientists, administrators, students, and the general public.The study will recruit undergraduate students to participate remotely in surveys and in-depth interviewing to investigate how students understand the collection and application of their data on campuses, along with how their experiences with data relate to social differences. Results of the project will be applicable to other forms of data surveillance beyond higher education which have become prevalent in everyday life. The research will also contribute to a growing body of scholarship in STS, anthropology, and sociology on interactions between data and people, in which data increasingly impact people’s lives through decision-making and predictive systems.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.
