This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).This project seeks to address the critical need for high-quality, equity-focused K-12 computing education research (CER) across the U.S. to meet the needs of finding promising practices for teaching computing to all students. The research will analyze existing and ongoing research and develop guidelines for conducting high-quality, equity-focused research. One goal is to identify barriers and gaps in equity-focused research across K-12 computing education using the Capacity, Access, Participation, and Experience (CAPE) framework as a lens for analysis. Those results will be used to develop workshops to build the capacity of researchers to include and focus on equity. The research questions ask:1) How comprehensive is K-12 CER in explicitly addressing broadening participation in computing or equity goals?2) What are the barriers that prevent K-12 computing education researchers from conducting research?3) How effective are new resources, materials and workshops specifically created to address the gaps in and barriers to producing high-quality, equity-focused K-12 CER?The project will first frame prior research against the CAPE framework to identify barriers researchers face when conducting high-quality research inequitable K-12 computing education. Using results from that effort and input from experts, the researchers will develop recommendations and resources for expanding coverage of equitable, high-quality K-12 computing education research. Finally, the research team will design and test workshops to train researchers in equitable K-12 CER methods and practices. The project will directly impact the quality of computer science education research conducted. In turn, this will lead to better analysis and identification of programs, curricula, training, and interventions that improve participation and experiences of populations historically underserved and underrepresented in K-12 computing education.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.

该奖项是根据2021年《美国救援计划法》的全部或部分资助的（公共法117-2）。本项目旨在满足美国各地以股权为中心的高质量，以股权为中心的K-12计算机教育研究（CER）的关键需求，以满足为所有学生寻找有前途的实践的需求。该研究将分析现有的和正在进行的研究，并制定进行高质量，股权研究的指南。一个目标是使用能力，访问，参与和经验（CAPE）框架作为镜头进行分析的能力，访问，参与和经验（CAPE）框架以股票为中心的研究中的障碍和差距。这些结果将用于开发研讨会，以建立研究人员的能力，包括和关注公平。研究问题提出：1）K-12 CER在明确解决计算或公平目标的明确解决方面有多全面？2）哪些障碍是什么阻止K-12计算计算教育研究人员进行研究的障碍？3）3）新资源，材料和研讨会有效吗？专门针对较高的范围进行了较高的KER框架，该障碍是如何涉及高品质的范围内的障碍？面对进行高质量的研究时，K-12计算机教育不平等。利用这些努力的结果和专家的意见，研究人员将开发建议和资源，以扩大公平，高质量的K-12计算机教育研究的覆盖范围。最后，研究团队将设计和测试研讨会，以培训研究人员公平的K-12 CER方法和实践。 该项目将直接影响进行计算机科学教育研究的质量。反过来，这将导致对课程，课程，培训和干预措施的更好分析和识别，从而改善了人口的参与度和经验，而在K-12 Computing教育中，在历史上乏味的人口欠佳和人数不足。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和广泛的影响来审查CRERIA的评估。
