BRIDGES TO THE DOCTORATE RESEARCH TRAINING PROGRAM AT CSU SAN MARCOS WITH UCSD AND TSRI - PROJECT SUMMARY AS A YOUNG, RAPIDLY GROWING CAMPUS IN NORTH SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY SAN MARCOS (CSUSM) IS WELL-POSITIONED TO PREPARE MOTIVATED STUDENTS FROM UNDERREPRESENTED (UR) GROUPS FOR GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH CAREERS. A LARGE PROPORTION OF CSUSM STUDENTS IS HISPANIC (47%), WHICH EXCEEDS THE NON-HISPANIC WHITE POPULATION (27%). THE CAMPUS IS A HISPANIC SERVING INSTITUTION (HSI). IN ADDITION, 54% ARE FROM FAMILIES IN WHICH THEY WILL BE THE FIRST TO COMPLETE A COLLEGE DEGREE AND 52% ARE PELL GRANT RECIPIENTS. THUS, CSUSM IS HOME TO A RAPIDLY GROWING DIVERSE STUDENT BODY, MANY OF WHOM ARE LOW INCOME AND/OR THE FIRST IN THEIR FAMILY TO ATTEND COLLEGE. THE BRIDGES TO THE DOCTORATE RESEARCH TRAINING PROGRAM AT CSU SAN MARCOS WITH UCSD AND TSRI (B2PHD) HAS BEEN SPECIFICALLY DEVELOPED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE STUDENT POPULATION AT CSUSM. THE PROGRAM WILL USE EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES TO ACHIEVE THE FOLLOWING 8 OBJECTIVES: 1) PREPARE, RECRUIT AND SELECT SCHOLARS WHO SHOW SIGNIFICANT PROMISE FOR SUCCESS, 2) ENHANCE QUANTITATIVE AND METHODOLOGICAL SKILLS, 3) ENHANCE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION SKILLS, 4) ENGAGE STUDENTS IN MEANINGFUL BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH THAT RESULTS IN THESIS AND PUBLICATION(S), 5) DEVELOP KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND PERSISTENCE NECESSARY TO SUCCEEDIN A DOCTORAL PROGRAM AND BEYOND, 6) EXPOSE STUDENTS TO A CULTURALLY VALIDATED PEDAGOGY TO INCREASE BELONGING AND PERSISTENCE, 7) TO PREPARE COMPETITIVE APPLICATIONS FOR GRADUATE SCHOOL, AND 8) REDUCE TIME TO DEGREE IN BOTH MASTER’S AND PHD SETTINGS. THE PROGRAM IS TWO YEARS IN LENGTH. WE PROPOSE TO ENGAGE 8 MASTER’S STUDENTS IN YEAR 1 OF THE PROGRAM, AND 16 IN YEARS 2-5. OUR MAJOR GOALS, INFORMED BY PAST SUCCESS RATES, ARE FOR 90% OF CSUSM B2PHD SCHOLARS TO GRADUATE WITH THEIR MASTER’S DEGREE AND 70% TO ENTER PHD PROGRAMS. TAKEN AS A WHOLE, THE B2PHD PROGRAM, IN CONCERT WITH A HIGHLY SUPPORTIVE CAMPUS ENVIRONMENT, WILL PREPARE STUDENTS FROM UR GROUPS TO BE THOUGHTFUL SCIENTISTS WHO HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, RESEARCH EXPERIENCE AND CHARACTER THAT PREPARE THEM FOR DOCTORAL STUDIES IN THE BIOMEDICAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES AND THAT ALLOW THEM TO BECOME FUTURE LEADERS IN SCIENCE AND ACADEMIA. BY DOING THIS WE WILL HELP ADVANCE THE GOALS OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH TO DIVERSIFY THE RESEARCH WORKFORCE. A MORE DIVERSE RESEARCH WORKFORCE WILL BETTER ADDRESS THE RESEARCH NEEDS OF A DIVERSE NATION AND THEREBY CONTRIBUTE TO BETTER HEALTH FOR ALL.

IQUEST: INVESTIGATIONS FOR QUALITY UNDERSTANDING AND ENGAGEMENT FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS

THE EXPANSION OF A MOBILE MAKING PROJECT THAT ENGAGES UNDERSERVED YOUTH ACROSS CALIFORNIA IN STEM -THIS PROJECT IS EXPANDING AN EFFECTIVE MOBILE MAKING PROGRAM TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE, WIDESPREAD IMPACT AMONG UNDERSERVED YOUTH. MAKING IS A DESIGN-BASED, PARTICIPANT-DRIVEN ENDEAVOR THAT IS BASED ON A LEARNING BY DOING PEDAGOGY. FOR NEARLY A DECADE, CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY SAN MARCOS HAS OPERATED OUT-OF-SCHOOL MAKING PROGRAMS FOR BRINGING BOTH EQUIPMENT AND UNIVERSITY STUDENT FACILITATORS TO THE SITES IN UNDER-SERVED COMMUNITIES. IN COLLABORATION WITH FOUR OTHER CSU CAMPUSES, THIS PROJECT WILL EXPAND ALONG FOUR DIMENSIONS: (A) ADDING COMMUNITY SITES IN ADDITION TO SCHOOL SITES (B) ADDING RURAL CONTEXTS IN ADDITION TO URBAN/SUBURBAN, (C) ADDING HYBRID AND ONLINE OPTIONS IN ADDITION TO IN-PERSON), AND (D) INCLUDING FUTURE TEACHERS AS FACILITATORS IN ADDITION TO STEM UNDERGRADUATES. THE PROGRAM USES DESIGN THINKING AS A FRAMEWORK TO ENGAGE PARTICIPANTS IN ADDRESSING REAL-WORLD PROBLEMS THAT ARE PERSONALLY AND SOCIALLY MEANINGFUL. PARTICIPANTS WILL USE LOW- AND HIGH-TECH TOOLS, SUCH AS CIRCUITY, CODING, AND ROBOTICS TO ENGAGE IN ACTIVITIES THAT RESPOND TO DESIGN CHALLENGES. A DIVERSE GROUP OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WILL LEAD WEEKLY, 90-MINUTE ACTIVITIES AND SERVE AS NEAR-PEER MENTORS, PROVIDING A CONNECTION TO THE UNIVERSITY FOR THE YOUTH PARTICIPANTS, MANY OF WHOM WILL BE FIRST-GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENTS. THE PROJECT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY EXPAND THE MOBILE MAKING PROGRAM FROM 12 SITES IN NORTH SAN DIEGO COUNTY TO 48 SITES ACROSS CALIFORNIA, WITH NEARLY 2,000 UNIVERSITY FACILITATORS PROVIDING 12 HOURS OF PROGRAMMING EACH YEAR TO OVER 10,000 UNDERSERVED YOUTH (GRADES 4TH THROUGH 8TH) DURING THE FIVE-YEAR TIMELINE. THE PROJECT RESEARCH WILL EXAMINE WHETHER THE ADDITIONAL SITES AND PROGRAM VARIATIONS RESULT IN POSITIVE YOUTH AND UNIVERSITY STUDENT OUTCOMES. FOR YOUTH IN GRADES 4 THROUGH 8, THE PROJECT WILL EVALUATE IMPACTS INCLUDING SUSTAINED INTEREST IN MAKING AND STEM, INCREASED SELF-EFFICACY IN MAKING AND STEM, AND A GREATER SENSE THAT MAKING AND STEM ARE RELEVANT TO THEIR LIVES. FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENT FACILITATORS, THE PROJECT WILL INVESTIGATE IMPACTS INCLUDING BROADENED TECHNICAL SKILLS, INCREASED LEADERSHIP AND 21ST CENTURY SKILLS, AND INCREASED LIFELONG INTEREST IN STEM OUTREACH/INFORMAL SCIENCE EDUCATION. MULTIPLE SOURCES OF DATA WILL BE USED TO RESEARCH THE EXPANDED MOBILE MAKING PROGRAM'S IMPACT ON YOUTH AND UNDERGRADUATE PARTICIPANTS, COMPARE IMPLEMENTATION SITES, AND UNDERSTAND THE PROGRAM'S EFFICACY WHEN ACROSS DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES WITH DIVERSE LEARNER POPULATIONS. A MIXED METHODS APPROACH THAT LEVERAGES EXTANT DATA (ATTENDANCE NUMBERS, STUDENT ARTIFACTS), SURVEYS, FOCUS GROUPS, MAKING SESSION FEEDBACK FORMS, OBSERVATIONS, AND FIELD NOTES WILL TOGETHER BE USED TO ASSESS YOUTH AND UNIVERSITY STUDENT PARTICIPANT OUTCOMES. THE PROJECT WILL DISAGGREGATE DATA BASED ON GENDER, RACE/ETHNICITY, GRADE LEVEL, AND SITE TO UNDERSTAND THE MOBILE MAKING PROGRAM'S IMPACT ON YOUTH PARTICIPANTS AT MULTIPLE LEVELS ACROSS CONTEXTS. THE PROJECT WILL FURTHER COMPARE FINDINGS FROM DIFFERENT TYPES OF IMPLEMENTATION SITES (E.G., SCHOOL VS. LIBRARY), LEARNER GROUPS, (E.G., MIDDLE VS. UPPER ELEMENTARY STUDENTS), AND FACILITATOR GROUPS (E.G., STEM MAJORS VS. FUTURE TEACHERS). THIS WILL ENABLE THE PROJECT TO CONDUCT CROSS-CASE COMPARISONS BETWEEN CSU CAMPUSES. PROJECT RESEARCH WILL ALSO COMPARE FINDINGS FROM URBAN AND RURAL SCHOOL SITES AS WELL AS BASED ON THE MODALITY OF TEACHING AND LEARNING (E.G., IN-PERSON VS. ONLINE). THE MOBILE MAKING PROGRAM ACTIVITIES, PROJECT RESEARCH, AND A TOOLKIT FOR IMPLEMENTING A MOBILE MAKER PROGRAM WILL BE WIDELY DISSEMINATED TO RESEARCHERS, EDUCATORS, AND OUT-OF-SCHOOL PROGRAMS. THIS RESEARCH PROJECT IS FUNDED BY THE ADVANCING INFORMAL STEM LEARNING (AISL) PROGRAM, WHICH SEEKS TO (A) ADVANCE NEW APPROACHES TO AND EVIDENCE-BASED UNDERSTANDING OF THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF STEM LEARNING IN INFORMAL ENVIRONMENTS; (B) PROVIDE MULTIPLE PATHWAYS FOR BROADENING ACCESS TO AND ENGAGEMENT IN STEM LEARNING EXPERIENCES; (C) ADVANCE INNOVATIVE RESEARCH ON AND ASSESSMENT OF STEM LEARNING IN INFORMAL ENVIRONMENTS; AND (D) ENGAGE THE PUBLIC OF ALL AGES IN LEARNING STEM IN INFORMAL ENVIRONMENTS 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.

MARC CURRICULUM IMPROVEMENT IMPLEMENTATION - PHASE II

OPTIMIZING THE STEM TEACHER RECRUITMENT, DEVELOPMENT AND RETENTION PATHWAY: ALIGNING STEM AND TEACHING IDENTITIES -THE PROJECT AIMS TO SERVE THE NATIONAL NEED OF RECRUITING, PREPARING, AND RETAINING HIGH-QUALITY TEACHERS IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS (STEM) AREAS. THE SHORTAGE OF STEM TEACHERS IS A NATIONAL CONCERN. WITH A GROWING NEED FOR A SPECIALIZED STEM-FOCUSED WORKFORCE, HIGH-QUALITY STEM TEACHERS CAN PREPARE STUDENTS FOR STEM CAREERS, EXPAND ACCESS TO STEM EDUCATION, AND CREATE A MORE INCLUSIVE AND EQUITABLE WORKFORCE. TO HELP ADDRESS THE SHORTFALL OF STEM TEACHERS, THE PROJECT WILL ENCOURAGE QUALIFIED MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS AND GRADUATES TO PURSUE TEACHING CAREERS AT HIGH SCHOOLS AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS IN HIGH-NEED SCHOOL DISTRICTS. THE PROJECT WILL SUPPORT 30 PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS THROUGH SCHOLARSHIPS, EARLY TEACHING EXPERIENCES, MENTORING, AND TEACHER PREPARATION. ONCE THEY HAVE OBTAINED A TEACHING CREDENTIAL AND START TEACHING AS NOVICE TEACHERS, THE PROJECT CONTINUES TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN THEIR FIRST TWO YEARS OF TEACHING. DURING THIS TIME, STEM AND EDUCATION PROFESSORS AND EXPERIENCED TEACHERS WILL MENTOR THESE NEW TEACHERS AND HELP THEM REFINE TEACHING SKILLS AND STAY IN THE TEACHING PROFESSION. THE PROJECT AT CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY SAN MARCOS INCLUDES PARTNERSHIPS WITH THREE COMMUNITY COLLEGES (MIRACOSTA, PALOMAR, AND SAN DIEGO MESA) AND TWO HIGH-NEED SCHOOL DISTRICTS (ESCONDIDO UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT AND SAN MARCOS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT). PROJECT GOALS ARE TO (1) RECRUIT AND RETAIN 30 HIGH-QUALITY STEM MAJORS AND PROFESSIONALS TO TEACHING CAREERS OVER FIVE YEARS; (2) RECRUIT AT LEAST 50% UNDERREPRESENTED RACIAL MINORITIES AND WOMEN IN STEM; (3) EXPAND AND SUSTAIN RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION MECHANISMS FROM FRESHMAN TO TEACHER INDUCTION; AND (4) EXPAND AND SUSTAIN THE STEM EDUCATION COMMUNITY IN THE REGION. THE THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK IS BASED ON WENGER?S (1998) THEORY OF SOCIAL PARTICIPATION AND IDENTITY IN A COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE. A KEY FEATURE OF THE PROJECT IS TO SUPPORT PARTICIPANTS AS THEY DEVELOP THEIR IDENTITIES TO INCLUDE CHARACTERISTICS OF BOTH SCIENTISTS AND STEM TEACHERS. THE PROJECT?S INTELLECTUAL MERIT INCLUDES A REFINED MODEL FOR ENHANCING CROSS-DISCIPLINARY AND CROSS-COLLEGE FACULTY?S ABILITY TO RECRUIT AND PRODUCE HIGH-QUALITY STEM TEACHERS AND A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW STUDENTS FIND BALANCE BETWEEN THEIR STEM AND TEACHING IDENTITIES. THE BROADER IMPACTS OF THIS PROJECT WILL AID THE TEACHER SHORTAGE AND INCREASE ROLE MODELS FOR CALIFORNIA?S DIVERSE K-12 STUDENTS. THE MODELS FOR FACULTY TEAMWORK AND COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO SUPPORT STEM TEACHER RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION CAN PROVIDE INSIGHTS FOR OTHER INSTITUTIONS AS RESULTS ARE DISSEMINATED. THIS TRACK 1: SCHOLARSHIPS AND STIPENDS PROJECT IS SUPPORTED THROUGH THE ROBERT NOYCE TEACHER SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM (NOYCE). THE NOYCE PROGRAM SUPPORTS TALENTED STEM UNDERGRADUATE MAJORS AND PROFESSIONALS TO BECOME EFFECTIVE K-12 STEM TEACHERS AND EXPERIENCED, EXEMPLARY K-12 TEACHERS TO BECOME STEM MASTER TEACHERS IN HIGH-NEED SCHOOL DISTRICTS. IT ALSO SUPPORTS RESEARCH ON THE EFFECTIVENESS AND RETENTION OF K-12 STEM TEACHERS IN HIGH-NEED SCHOOL DISTRICTS. 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.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.
