Sixth International Conference on Quantitative Ethnography (ICQE24)

第六届国际定量人种学会议（ICQE24）将于2024年秋季在宾夕法尼亚州费城举行，由宾夕法尼亚大学和德雷塞尔大学共同主办，将建立美国国家科学基金会支持的社区的能力，使其从极有前途的定量人种学研究方法中受益。定量人种学解决了进行丰富的定性分析的挑战，通过使用统计技术来保证关于厚定性描述的有根据的定量主张。定量人种学可以应用于许多环境，包括STEM教育研究、学习分析、学习科学和更广泛的社会科学。这笔资金将支持博士生和早期职业学者参加会议，以建立他们在定量人种学方面的技能，并扩大学者群体。博士生和早期职业学者将在会议开始和结束时参加一个研讨会，该研讨会专门针对培养他们的技术技能，并将他们与精通定量人种学的职业中期和高级学者联系起来。他们还将有机会向使用定量人种学的多学科研讨会演讲者学习并与他们互动，这些演讲者也将得到这笔资金的支持。会议活动将为定量人种学研究人员提供技能发展和社区建设的机会。本项目由美国国家科学基金会EDU核心研究（ECR）项目支持。ECR项目强调在该领域产生基础知识的基础STEM教育研究。投资在至关重要、广泛和持久的关键领域：STEM学习和STEM学习环境，扩大STEM参与，以及STEM劳动力发展。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Sixth International Conference on Quantitative Ethnography (ICQE24), to be held in the fall of 2024 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, co-hosted by the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University, will build the capacity of NSF-supported communities to benefit from the highly promising research methodology of quantitative ethnography. Quantitative ethnography addresses the challenge of conducting rich qualitative analyses by using statistical techniques to warrant grounded, quantitative claims about thick qualitative descriptions. Quantitative ethnography can be applied to many contexts including STEM education research, learning analytics, learning sciences, and the social sciences more broadly. The funding will support doctoral students and early career scholars’ participation in the conference in order to build their skills in quantitative ethnography and grow the community of scholars. Doctoral students and early career scholars will attend a workshop at the beginning and end of the conference geared specifically towards building their technical skills as well as connecting them with mid-career and senior scholars well-versed in quantitative ethnography. They will also have the opportunity to learn from and engage with a slate of multi-disciplinary symposium speakers who use quantitative ethnography, who will also be supported through this funding. The conference activities will provide opportunities for skill development and community building within the quantitative ethnography community of researchers.This project is supported by NSF's EDU Core Research (ECR) program. The ECR program emphasizes fundamental STEM education research that generates foundational knowledge in the field. Investments are made in critical areas that are essential, broad and enduring: STEM learning and STEM learning environments, broadening participation in STEM, and STEM workforce development.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.
