U-RISE at University of Puerto Rico at Cayey

项目总结 波多黎各大学凯伊大学的U-Rise项目(UPR-C)提供研究培训，以i)扩大 接触生物医学研究职业，二)加强科学认同感，三)加强科学信息 西班牙裔本科生的识字、学习、研究以及量化和计算技能 UPR-C。U-Rise项目将通过广泛的活动直接影响24名本科生。 采用循证方法设计了五个方案组成部分，以提供培训 本科生：研究研讨会和工作坊(RSW)，学习和研究技能(LRS)， 本科生研究经验(URE)、定量和计算技能(QCS)以及证据- 基于教学和辅导(EBT/EBM)。每个组件的评估将由外部人员进行监控 评估员与活动协调员、项目主管和咨询委员会一起工作。在RSW 部分，来访的校友科学家将作为榜样，为所有科学界提供研讨会和工作坊 UPR-C的学生将扩大他们对生物医学研究职业的接触并加强他们的科学 身份。在LRS部分，12名大二学生将通过参与研究开始从事研究 在科学文献、学习和实验室研究活动中。在URE组件中，受训人员将 通过在暑期参加校外研究项目，更广泛地参与研究(24 学生)和在学年期间的校园研究体验。在QCS组件中， 初级/高级学生将提高他们分析和呈现数字数据的技能，降低问题的复杂性， 从计算算法的角度思考，并在自然科学中实现计算任务的自动化。 LRS和QCS教育活动使用协作学习来适应准备过程中的差异 在实习生中。EBT/循证医学部分将促进循证教学方面的教师培训和 在EBT和课程研究周期中使用混合学习模块进行指导。在EBT/EBM组件中， 将在一年内探索和实施多个教与学领域的基本方面。 这一长期的教师培训计划将提供教师变革所需的持续和持久的努力。 他们的教学实践。UPR-Cayey的U-Rise的这五个集成程序组件是设计的 促进完成学士学位和过渡到和完成生物医学 以研究为重点的高等学位课程。

PROJECT SUMMARY The U-RISE program at the University of Puerto Rico Cayey (UPR-C) provides research training to i) broaden exposure to biomedical research careers, ii) strengthen science identity, and iii) enhance scientific information literacy, learning, research, and quantitative and computational skills of undergraduate Hispanic students at UPR-C. The U-RISE program will directly impact 24 undergraduate students through a wide range of activities. Five program components have been designed employing evidence-based approaches to provide training to undergraduate students: Research Seminars and Workshops (RSW), Learning and Research Skills (LRS), Undergraduate Research Experiences (URE), Quantitative and Computational skills (QCS), and Evidence- Based Teaching and Mentoring (EBT/EBM). The evaluation of each component will be monitored by an external evaluator working with the activity coordinators, program directors, and an Advisory Committee. In the RSW component, visiting alumni scientists will serve as role models and offer seminars and workshops to all science students at UPR-C to broaden their exposure to biomedical research careers and strengthen their science identity. In the LRS component, 12 sophomore college students will start engaging in research by participating in scientific literature, learning, and laboratory research activities. In the URE component, the trainees will engage more extensively in research by participating in an off-campus research project during the summer (24 students) and an on-campus research experience during the academic year. In the QCS component, the junior/senior students will enhance their skills to analyze and present numerical data, reduce problem complexity, think in terms of computational algorithmics, and automate tasks computationally within the natural sciences. The LRS and QCS educational activities use collaborative learning to accommodate differences in preparation among trainees. The EBT/EBM component will facilitate faculty training in evidence-based teaching and mentoring using Blended Learning Modules in EBT and Lesson Study cycles. In the EBT/EBM component, the fundamental aspects of multiple teaching and learning areas will be explored and implemented over one year. This long-term faculty training program will provide the sustained and lasting efforts required for faculty to change their teaching practices. These five integrated program components of the U-RISE at UPR-Cayey are designed to facilitate the completion of baccalaureate degrees and the transition into and completion of biomedical research-focused higher degree programs.
