This project will serve the national interest by creating a structured and scaffolded training program for postdoctoral scholars within the Collaborations in Interdisciplinary Discipline-Based Education Research (CiDER) program at North Dakota State University. The CiDER program will facilitate collaboration, integration, and synthesis across disciplines, while also advancing our understanding of how to best support the postdoctoral experience and prepare postdocs for future career endeavors. It may serve as a model for other training programs. Postdoctoral trainees will collaborate with members of the CiDER community to conduct independent research projects in STEM Education, with particular emphasis on exploring STEM teaching and learning in rural communities. Trainees will engage in professional development designed to develop both their research skills in DBER and to navigate university and department cultures.The CiDER postdoctoral training program will be grounded in a Community of Practice model and be supported by team-based mentoring and activities designed to facilitate skill development. The cohort of postdoctoral trainees will develop independent research projects in one of two threads: (1) teaching and learning of disciplinary content, and transferring knowledge, skills, and problem-solving strategies across contexts and disciplines; and (2) general cognition and learning including examination of pedagogical practices that impact learning beyond disciplinary understanding, with an emphasis on improving diversity, equity, and inclusion, promoting institutional transformations, and increasing scientific literacy. The training plan will address the well-documented isolating experiences of postdocs, particularly women and people historically excluded from STEM and will specifically develop trainees’ cognitive and affective skills and to build self-efficacy and sense of belonging. This project is funded by the STEM Education Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (STEM Ed PRF) program that aims to enhance the research knowledge, skills, and practices of recent doctorates in STEM, STEM education, education, and related disciplines to advance their preparation to engage in fundamental and applied research that advances knowledge within the field. The project is also supported by the Building Capacity in STEM Education Research (BCSER) program and the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) program.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.

该项目将通过在北达科他州立大学的基于跨学科学科的教育研究（CIDER）计划中为博士后学者创建结构化和脚手架的培训计划来满足国家利益。苹果酒计划将通过在北达科他州立大学的基于跨学科学科的教育研究（CIDER）计划中为博士后学者创建结构化和脚手架的培训计划来满足国家利益。苹果酒计划将促进跨学科的合作，整合和综合，同时也促进我们对如何最好地支持博士后体验的理解，并为未来的职业生涯做准备。它可以作为其他培训计划的典范。博士后学员将与苹果酒社区成员合作，在STEM教育领域开展独立的研究项目，特别是探索农村社区的STEM教学。受训者将从事专业发展，旨在发展其在DBER中的研究技能，并涉足大学和系文化。苹果酒博士后培训计划将基于实践模型社区，并得到基于团队的心理和旨在促进技能发展的活动的支持。博士后学员的队列将在两个主题之一中开发独立的研究项目：（1）纪律内容的教学和学习，并转移知识，技能以及跨环境和学科的解决问题的策略； （2）一般的认知和学习，包括检查超出纪律理解的学习的教学实践，重点是改善多样性，公平和包容性，促进制度转型和提高科学素养。该培训计划将解决有据可查的文章后的隔离经历，尤其是妇女和历史上被排除在STEM之外的妇女和人，并将专门发展受训者的认知和情感技能，并建立自我有效的技能和归属感。该项目由STEM教育博士后研究奖学金（STEM ED PRF）计划资助，该计划旨在增强STEM，STEM，STEM教育，教育和相关学科最新博士学位的研究知识，技能和实践，以促进他们的准备工作，以便在领域内提高知识的基础和应用研究。该项目还得到了STEM教育研究（BCSER）计划的建筑能力和改进本科STEM教育（IUSE）计划的支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子的优点和更广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务，并被认为是宝贵的支持。
