The Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program provides support to design, implement, study and assess efforts to increase the numbers of students and the quality of their preparation by strengthening science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and research. This project at Morgan State University provides a strategic approach to infuse learning initiatives into two computer science courses to increase students' proficiency and success in programming skills with the goal to retain them as computer science majors. Undergraduate students are involved in this project as researchers. This one-year pilot project seeks to implement problem solving strategies involving programming to develop strategies that can enhance the students' ability to develop proficient critical thinking skills as they learn to program. The project will study the psycho-socialattributes that students exhibit towards programming using qualitative and quantitative measures. The project is guided by formative and summative evaluation and an advisory committee.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.

历史悠久的黑人学院和大学 - 本科生计划为设计、实施、研究和评估工作提供支持，通过加强科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 教育和研究来增加学生数量和学生的准备质量。摩根州立大学的这个项目提供了一种战略方法，将学习主动性融入到两门计算机科学课程中，以提高学生编程技能的熟练程度和成功率，目标是保留他们作为计算机科学专业的学生。本科生作为研究人员参与该项目。这个为期一年的试点项目旨在实施涉及编程的问题解决策略，以制定能够增强学生在学习编程时培养熟练批判性思维技能的能力的策略。该项目将使用定性和定量测量来研究学生在编程时表现出的心理社会属性。该项目由形成性和总结性评估以及咨询委员会指导。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
