The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) through Broadening Participation Research (BPR) in STEM Education projects supports the development, implementation, and study of new theory-driven models and innovations related to the participation and success of underrepresented groups in STEM undergraduate education. It is expected that the award will further the faculty member's research capability, as well as improve the recruitment, retention, and success of underrepresented groups in STEM education and the workforce. The project at North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University seeks enhance the quality of STEM education for undergraduate students enrolled in existing math courses by integrating evidence-based cognitive, metacognitive and management learning strategies. The project aims to serve as a model for understanding the interrelationships between four constructs (learning strategies, math mindset, self-regulated learning, and performance) while accounting for the students’ racial, gender and math identity.The project will use a repeated measures between-subjects design and a mixed-methods approach to examine four research questions: (1) Does integrating learning-strategy instruction within gate-keeper math courses promote math growth mindset among underrepresented minority (URM) students? (2) Does integrating learning-strategy instruction within gate-keeper math courses promote self-regulated learning (SRL) among URM students? (3) What is the nature of association between students’ math growth mindset and SRL? and (4) Does learning-strategy instruction, math growth mindset, and SRL predict students’ performance in gate-keeper math courses? The researchers will incorporate several research-based learning strategies into five gate-keeper math courses and collect and analyze quantitative and qualitative data on the four main constructs, students’ identity, and other covariates in control and treatment sections of these math courses to answer the above questions. The quantitative analyses will include Path Analysis, Pearson correlations, two-sample hypothesis tests and descriptive statistics. The qualitative analyses will help the researchers to better contextualize and interpret the quantitative results. The project is expected to foster the development of math growth mindset and SRL among URM students, improve students’ experience and performance in gate-keeper math courses, improve students’ retention and graduation rates in STEM, and enhance the capabilities of math faculty to conduct discipline-based educational research and scholarly teaching.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.

历史上黑人学院和大学本科项目 (HBCU-UP) 通过 STEM 教育项目中的扩大参与研究 (BPR)，支持与代表性不足群体的参与和成功相关的新理论驱动模型和创新的开发、实施和研究。 STEM 本科教育。预计该奖项将提高教师的研究能力，并改善 STEM 教育和劳动力中代表性不足群体的招聘、保留和成功。州立农业技术大学寻求通过整合基于证据的认知、元认知和管理学习策略来提高就读现有数学课程的本科生的 STEM 教育质量。该项目旨在作为理解四种结构（学习）之间相互关系的模型。策略、数学心态、自我调节学习和表现），同时考虑学生的种族、性别和数学身份。该项目将使用科目间重复测量设计和混合方法来检验四个研究问题：（ 1) 是否(2) 将学习策略指导融入到看门人数学课程中是否会促进 URM 学生的自我调节学习 (SRL) 整合？ (3) 学生的数学成长心态与 SRL 之间的关联本质是什么？学习策略指导、数学成长心态和 SRL 是否可以预测学生在把关数学课程中的表现？研究人员将把几种基于研究的学习策略纳入五种策略中。守门人数学课程，并收集和分析这些数学课程的定量控制和治疗部分中的四个主要结构、学生身份和其他协变量的定性数据，以回答上述问题。定量分析将包括路径分析、皮尔逊分析。相关性、双样本假设检验和描述性统计将帮助研究人员更好地理解和解释定量结果，该项目预计将促进 URM 学生数学成长心态和 SRL 的发展，改善学生的体验和学习。在看门人数学课程中的表现，提高学生在 STEM 中的保留率和毕业率，并提高数学教师进行基于学科的教育研究和学术教学的能力。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进行评估，被认为值得支持审查标准。
