Abstract

The goal of the College of Arts & Sciences Community-aid (CASC-aid) project, a National Science Foundation grant funded study (2016-2021), is to develop, implement, and evaluate a program that fosters a community of academic success for Hispanic STEM students. This Hispanic Serving Institute continues to provide a variety of supports to safeguard success for Hispanic CASC-aid scholars through effective communication. Along with scholarships, Project CASC-aid delivers mentoring and intervention strategies related to non-cognitive behavioral practices to ensure scholars are motivated and empowered, and to support the postsecondary educational success of Hispanic students (Blackwell, Trzesniewski, & Dweck, 2007). Embedded within the research is a Formative Experiment (Reinking & Bradley, 2008), which allowed researchers to gather data on one facet of the project. CASC-aid scholars responded to surveys after Student Success Workshops held across the 2017-2019 academic years. Analysis of results demonstrated that workshops were effective in supporting students’ long-term goals, career major decisions, and overall knowledge of a wider STEM field.

学生成功研讨会对美国-墨西哥边境西班牙裔本科STEM学生的影响

艺术与科学学院社区援助(CASC-aid)项目是美国国家科学基金会资助的一项研究(2016-2021年)，其目标是制定、实施和评估一个旨在促进西班牙裔STEM学生学业成功的项目。该拉美裔服务研究所继续提供各种支持，通过有效的沟通，保障拉美裔中国科学院援助学者的成功。除了奖学金，CASC-aid项目还提供与非认知行为实践相关的指导和干预策略，以确保学者们被激励和授权，并支持西班牙裔学生的高等教育成功(Blackwell, Trzesniewski， & Dweck, 2007)。在研究中嵌入了一个形成性实验(Reinking & Bradley, 2008)，它允许研究人员收集项目的一个方面的数据。在2017-2019学年举办的学生成功研讨会之后，中国科委助学金的学者们对调查做出了回应。结果分析表明，讲习班在支持学生的长期目标、职业重大决策和更广泛的STEM领域的整体知识方面是有效的。
