项目摘要

The "Scaling an Effective Program for Recruiting and Retaining Women in Undergraduate Computing" is a pilot study conducted by the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT) that will gather evidence to support a subsequent full-scale implementation of the Extension services for Undergraduate Programs (ES-UP) program. The ES-UP program has been shown to be successful in addressing gender imbalance in undergraduate computing. Rather than preparing women to function in an educational system designed for men, ES-UP advances sustained change to attract and retain men and women equally in computing majors. Combined, the departments served by ES-UP over the past eight years have sustained a 6% climb in graduations of women, while national figures remain flat. "Learning Circles" consisting of one former ES-UP client (Guide) and four committed departmental teams will be piloted to determine their effectiveness in scaling the ES-UP to a national level. Learning Circle members will meet regularly via online events throughout the year, learning, sharing, and developing approaches, discussing lessons learned as they implement their solutions, and building a sense of community. The project team will collect data and conduct analysis to understand what works for Learning Circles and how to extend the model more broadly. The team will publish and present the results of the analyses. The result of this work will be a model that will be used to accelerate large-scale reform in the national computing community, leveraging the knowledge and experience of former ES-UP clients in a "train-the-trainer" approach that integrates the critical components of the model, which includes personalized advice, community, and peer knowledge sharing, into an existing infrastructure of expert staff and consultants, tools, and evidence-based resources.

“扩大在本科计算机领域招聘和留住女性的有效计划”是由国家妇女与信息技术中心 (NCWIT) 进行的一项试点研究，该研究将收集证据以支持随后全面实施本科计算机推广服务程序（ES-UP）程序。 ES-UP 项目已被证明能够成功解决本科生计算机领域的性别失衡问题。 ES-UP 并不是让女性做好在专为男性设计的教育体系中发挥作用的准备，而是推动持续变革，以平等地吸引和留住计算机专业的男性和女性。综合起来，在过去八年里，ES-UP 服务的院系女性毕业生人数持续增长了 6%，而全国数字则持平。由一名前 ES-UP 客户（指南）和四个忠诚的部门团队组成的“学习圈”将进行试点，以确定其将 ES-UP 扩展到国家水平的有效性。学习圈成员将全年通过在线活动定期会面，学习、分享和开发方法，讨论实施解决方案时吸取的经验教训，并建立社区意识。项目团队将收集数据并进行分析，以了解什么对学习圈有效以及如何更广泛地扩展该模型。该团队将发布并展示分析结果。这项工作的成果将是一个模型，该模型将用于加速国家计算界的大规模改革，通过“培训师培训”方法利用前 ES-UP 客户的知识和经验，该方法整合了关键技术该模型的组成部分，包括个性化建议、社区和同行知识共享，融入到由专家人员和顾问、工具和循证资源组成的现有基础设施中。
