Intellectual Merit: How do middle school girls become engaged in science, especially when their developing "sense of self" can seem to be at odds with traditional images of what it means to be a good science student or a scientist? The purpose of this investigation is to better understand the mechanisms by which urban middle school girls author possible selves in science, and what impact this has on their interest and participation in the science, mathematics and technology (SMT) pipeline. The objectives of the project are:1. To follow a cohort of girls in four cities over their middle school years to document the mechanisms by which they author possible selves in science, how their identity formation (and their attendant resources and positions) in different figured worlds support them in doing so, and what impact this has on their interest and participation in science class and the SMT pipeline.2. To develop a model for how and why girls recruit identities across different figured worlds and how girls seek to leverage them in support of participation and interest in science.3. To create a set of cases along with guiding design principles focused on girls' identity development and SMT pipeline participation that can be used as tools for teacher learning and program design.The research follows 400 girls in four US cities over three years. Utilizing a nationally validated survey instrument focused on identity development and pipeline participation, data will be gathered over the three years to ascertain patterns in identity development and pipeline participation. The project also includes ethnographic longitudinal case studies of 40 girls in two of the sites over three years. Case study data will allow for an in depth analysis into girls' participation and experiences in out-of-school figured worlds and the figured world of school science, to uncover the salient identities pertinent to them, and how they select and coalesce identities across figured worlds to further their interest and performance in science. Broader Impacts: This project yields a theoretically-based, empirically-driven model for the relationship between identity development and participation in the SMT pipeline for low-income urban girls from racially diverse backgrounds. By creating a set of cases along with guiding design principles focused on girls' identity development and SMT pipeline participation, the project team will work with teachers and program organizers to tailor program design and instructional practice to best support girls.

知识分子的优点：中学女孩如何从事科学，尤其是当她们发展的“自我意识”似乎与传统的形象相矛盾时，成为一名优秀的科学学生或科学家意味着什么？这项调查的目的是更好地了解城市中学女生在科学领域的可能自我的机制，以及这对他们对科学，数学和技术（SMT）管道的兴趣和参与的影响。该项目的目标是：1。在中学期间跟随四个城市中的一群女孩，以记录他们在科学领域创作可能的机制，他们在不同人物世界中如何形成的身份形成（以及他们的身份形成（以及他们的身份资源和位置）如何支持他们这样做，以及这对他们对科学班级的兴趣和参与的影响以及SMT Pipeline.2。为了开发一个模型，以了解女孩如何以及为什么在不同的人物世界中招募身份，以及女孩如何利用她们来支持参与和对科学的兴趣。3。为了创建一系列案例以及指导设计原则，重点是女孩的身份发展和SMT管道参与，可以用作教师学习和计划设计的工具。研究跟随三年来美国四个城市的400名女孩。利用针对身份发展和管道参与的全国性验证的调查工具，将在三年内收集数据，以确定身份发展和管道参与的模式。该项目还包括三年来两个地点中有40名女孩的民族志纵向案例研究。案例研究数据将使对女孩的参与和经验进行深入分析，并在学校科学的世界和学校科学领域，揭示与他们相关的显着身份，以及她们如何在人物世界中选择和合并身份，以进一步选择和融合身份，以进一步发展他们在科学方面的兴趣和表现。更广泛的影响：该项目为身份发展与参与SMT管道之间的关系而产生了一个基于理论上的，经验驱动的模型，该模型来自来自种族多样的背景的低收入城市女孩。通过创建一组案例，以及针对女孩身份发展和SMT管道参与的指导设计原则，项目团队将与老师和计划组织者合作，以量身定制计划设计和教学实践，以最佳支持女孩。
