Hexacago Health Academy 2.0: a board game and augmented reality game intervention to promote STEM/health knowledge and career interest

项目摘要 Hexacago健康学院2.0（HHA 2.0）建立在先前科学教育合作伙伴关系的成功基础上 在该奖项中，Hexacago董事会，一个游戏板描绘了芝加哥与六边形覆盖的城市， 用于教授游戏设计，使年轻人能够设计和玩STEM/健康游戏。对于HHA 2.0， Hexacago棋盘和棋盘游戏套件将通知Hexacago健康学院2.0游戏的设计（HHA 2.0 GO），一个基于理论、基于游戏的STEM/健康途径计划，针对高绩效、正在上升的11年级学生 来自目前在STEM/健康领域代表性不足的群体的学生就读于芝加哥公立学校。的 芝加哥大学的多学科团队共同承诺使用基于游戏的学习体验， 赋予青年以技能、能力和支持，以实现最佳健康和福祉。该团队将 设计HHA 2.0 GO以纳入基于游戏的学习。他们还将设计UChicago STEM/Health Pathway Program（UC-SPP）是一个传统的Pathway Program，作为比较组。HHA 2.0 GO将 依靠社会认知生涯理论（SCCT）和现存的关于SCCT的文献， 少数民族和STEM职业。这两个项目都将包括为期两周的夏季密集课程和十个学年的课程。 强化训练教育内容将涵盖STEM/健康主题，STEM/健康职业和学院 入学手续。年轻人将被随机分配至HHA 2.0 GO（n=72）或UC-SPP（n=72）。青年 将要求未随机分配至任一方案的患者作为非干预对照组（n=56）。调查和 焦点小组将被用来比较两个干预组和非干预组的结果。 对照组在干预期间、干预后即刻和干预后一年。研究假设学生 随机分配到HHA 2.0 GO的患者在知识、自我效能、兴趣、目标等综合指标上得分更高 关于STEM/健康主题，STEM/健康职业和大学录取过程的行为 与随机分配至UC-SPP组的受试者以及与非干预组的受试者相比， 对照组

PROJECT ABSTRACT Hexacago Health Academy 2.0 (HHA 2.0) builds upon the success of a prior Science Education Partnership Award in which the Hexacago board, a game board depicting the city of Chicago with an overlay of hexagons, was used to teach game design, enabling youth to design and play STEM/health games. For HHA 2.0, the Hexacago board and board game suite will inform the design of Hexacago Health Academy 2.0 Game On (HHA 2.0 GO), a theory-based, game-based STEM/health pathway program for high-performing, rising 11th grade students from groups currently underrepresented in STEM/health fields who attend Chicago Public Schools. The multidisciplinary University of Chicago team shares a commitment to using game-based learning experiences to empower youth with the skills, capacity, and support to achieve optimal health and wellbeing. The team will design HHA 2.0 GO to incorporate game-based learning. They will also design The UChicago STEM/Health Pathway Program (UC-SPP), a traditional pathway program, to serve as a comparison arm. HHA 2.0 GO will rely on the Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) and the extant literature on the SCCT for racial and ethnic minorities and STEM careers. Both programs will include a two-week summer intensive and ten academic year booster sessions. Educational content will cover STEM/health topics, STEM/health careers, and the College Admissions process. Young people will be randomized to either HHA 2.0 GO (n=72) or UC-SPP (n=72). Youth not randomized to either program will be asked to serve as a non-intervention control group (n=56). Surveys and focus groups will be used to compare outcomes across the two intervention groups and the non-intervention control group during, immediately post, and at one-year post intervention. The study hypothesis is that students randomized to HHA 2.0 GO will score higher on a composite measure of knowledge, self-efficacy, interest, goals and behaviors regarding STEM/health topics, STEM/health careers, and the college admissions process short term and longitudinally compared to those randomized to UC-SPP and compared to those in the non-intervention control group.
