This project will examine how to integrate machine learning, data science, and physical computing in the context of movement based learning. The project focuses on learning environment design for female high school students who participate in physical education activities such as dance in New York and Colorado. Many of these learners are African American and Latina, populations that are underrepresented in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). Researchers will leverage learners' expertise and cultural practices in order to engage them in authentic and personally meaningful computing. The students will learn to create computing systems with programmable electronics worn on the body (physical computing), use those systems to create statistical models of movement and gesture (data science and machine learning), and then apply the models in a digital experiential learning environment. Researchers will work closely with physical education teachers and learners to produce design principles, curricula, new educational technologies, and comparative analyses across contexts. This project is funded by the STEM+Computing (STEM+C) program that supports research and development to understand the integration of computing and computational thinking in STEM learning.Research questions addressed in this project include: 1) How can physical education be leveraged to build expertise in computing? 2) What are the challenges of integrating computing into physical education practices? and 3) How can we meaningfully assess learning outcomes and dispositional shifts with respect to computing in the context of physical education applications? The research has three phases. Phase I will consist of conducting interviews and observations at three development sites including the non-profit organization STEM From Dance in NYC and two teams in Boulder, Colorado. Phase II will consist of participatory design sessions with physical educators and computing educators to develop a deeper understanding of how physical movement and computing (across the sub-disciplines of machine learning, data science, and physical computing) can complement one another using co-designed physical and computing learning activities. The participatory design and co-design activities will explore how sensing technologies and embodiment affordances can reshape computing education and provide alternative pathways for conceptualizing knowledge and cultivating expertise. Phase III will consist of piloting the integrated physical education and computing curricula across the three sites in NYC and Boulder. The curricula will consist of four 5-week computing modules that will be iterated on within the three development sites. Three of the modules will focus on each of the computing sub-disciplines individually, and the fourth will involve advanced topics integrating the disciplines together. This research will produce curriculum and technology to support learning modules in machine learning, data science, and, physical computing, integrating multiple levels of abstraction across the boundaries of hardware and software (i.e., cyber-physical systems). Through this collaborative inquiry researchers will develop transformative knowledge about how to embed computing into established movement based learning practices, resulting in computing curricula and tools that build on the learners' and educators' authentic practices and needs.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.

该项目将研究如何在基于运动学习的背景下整合机器学习，数据科学和物理计算。该项目着重于参加参加体育活动的女性高中学生的学习环境设计，例如在纽约和科罗拉多州的舞蹈。这些学习者中有许多是非洲裔美国人和拉丁裔，他们在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）中的人群不足。研究人员将利用学习者的专业知识和文化实践，以使他们参与真实且个人意义的计算。学生将学习使用戴在身体上的可编程电子设备（物理计算），使用这些系统来创建运动和手势的统计模型（数据科学和机器学习），然后将模型应用于数字体验学习环境中。研究人员将与体育老师和学习者紧密合作，以制定设计原则，课程，新的教育技术以及跨环境的比较分析。该项目由STEM+计算（STEM+C）计划资助，该计划支持研发，以了解STEM学习中计算和计算思维的整合。该项目中提出的研究问题包括：1）如何利用体育教育来建立计算方面的专业知识？ 2）将计算纳入体育实践的挑战是什么？ 3）我们如何在体育应用程序中有意义地评估有关计算的学习成果和倾向转移？该研究有三个阶段。第一阶段将包括在包括非营利组织的三个开发网站上进行访谈和观察，该组织来自纽约市的舞蹈和科罗拉多州博尔德的两支球队。第二阶段将包括与体育教育者和计算教育者的参与设计课程，以更深入地了解物理运动和计算（跨越机器学习，数据科学和物理计算的子学科）如何使用共同设计的物理和计算学习活动相互补充。参与式设计和共同设计活动将探讨传感技术和体现如何可以重塑计算教育，并为概念化知识和培养专业知识提供替代途径。第三阶段将包括在纽约市和博尔德的三个地点进行综合体育教育和计算课程。该课程将由四个为期5周的计算模块组成，这些计算模块将在三个开发站点内迭代。三个模块将重点放在每个计算子读学科上，第四个将涉及将学科整合在一起的高级主题。这项研究将产生课程和技术，以支持机器学习，数据科学和物理计算中的学习模块，并在硬件和软件的边界（即网络物理系统）中整合多个级别的抽象。通过这项协作询问，研究人员将开发有关如何将计算嵌入基于运动的学习实践中的变革性知识，从而导致计算基于学习者和教育工作者的真实实践和需求的计算课程和工具。该奖项反映了NSF的法规使命，并认为通过基金会的知识优点和广泛的crietia criter scritia criter scritia criter scritia critia crietia crietia crietia crietia crietia crietia crietia crietia crietia crietia crietia crietia cristia又值得一提。
