PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT While STEM fields account for most high-wage U.S. economic growth, Latinx students are underrepresented in undergraduate and graduate STEM programs. Given well-established research linking grade completion, economic success, and overall health and well-being, this underrepresentation portends serious, negative, long-term physical and mental health outcomes for Latinx families. Access to higher education and enrollment in STEM programs is hindered by gaps in academic literacy and especially by unfamiliarity with scientific academic vocabulary (SAV), a subset of the academic register that is fundamental to STEM content- area learning, but uncommon in everyday conversation, particularly in low-SES homes where English is not the first language. To promote Latinx students’ SAV proficiency, we propose a technology-based approach to engage English learner families in culturally relevant evidence-based SAV home-based learning. We will complete development of a technology package that includes dual-language SAV voice technology learning tools enhanced with rich video and audio content. Talk STEM Familia (TSF) will be accessible via mobile phones, tablets, and smart-speaker devices. The complete program will include a word corpus of 72 frequent SAV words that appear in STEM texts across middle and secondary grades and curricula. Building familiarity with SAV words in upper elementary and middle school grade levels can have a significant impact on achievement, including performance on standardized tests in middle school t h a t influence the selection of science and technology electives in STEM. In each 10-minute learning experience, students and families receive dual language instruction, practice, and feedback on the pronunciation, meaning, and usage of one target SAV word. The program features Spanish-language home vignettes that model parents and children using SAV in familiar home contexts, and English-language vignettes that model teachers and students using SAV in grade-appropriate academic contexts. The learning games guide families through an instructional progression designed to incrementally build language skills and confidence, with activities designed to encourage word use in family conversations. This proposed Phase II project will use a three panel (pre-, mid-, and post-intervention) randomized controlled trial involving 300 Latinx upper elementary and middle school student/and their English learner parents to test the efficacy, acceptability, and usability of TSF in improving student and parent SAV knowledge and academic self-efficacy relative to business-as-usual.

项目概要/摘要 虽然 STEM 领域对美国高工资经济增长贡献最大，但拉丁裔学生的代表性不足 鉴于与成绩完成相关的成熟研究， 经济成功以及整体健康和福祉，这种代表性不足预示着严重的、消极的、 拉丁裔家庭的长期身心健康成果。 学术素养差距，特别是不熟悉 STEM 项目的入学受到阻碍 科学学术词汇 (SAV)，是 STEM 内容基础的学术词汇的子集 - 区域学习，但在日常对话中并不常见，尤其是在社会经济地位较低、不会英语的家庭中 为了提高拉丁裔学生的 SAV 熟练程度，我们提出了一种基于技术的方法。 让英语学习者家庭参与文化相关的、基于证据的 SAV 家庭学习。 完整开发包括双语SAV语音技术学习的技术包 Talk STEM Familia (TSF) 具有丰富的视频和音频内容，可通过移动设备访问。 完整的程序将包括 72 个常用词的语料库。 SAV 单词出现在中、高中年级和课程的 STEM 文本中。 在小学高年级和初中阶段使用 SAV 单词会对 成绩，包括影响选拔的中学标准化考试的表现 STEM 中的科学技术选修课，学生和家庭在每 10 分钟的学习体验中。 接受双语教学、练习以及有关其中一种语言的发音、含义和用法的反馈 该节目以西班牙语家庭小插曲为目标，以父母和孩子为榜样。 在熟悉的家庭环境中使用 SAV，以及模拟教师和学生使用 SAV 的英语小插曲 SAV 在适合年级的学术环境中指导家庭完成教学。 旨在逐步建立语言技能进步和信心，活动旨在 鼓励在家庭对话中使用词语。拟议的第二阶段项目将使用三个小组（前、中、中）。 和干预后）涉及 300 所拉丁裔高年级小学和初中的随机对照试验 学生/及其英语学习者家长测试 TSF 在提高英语水平方面的有效性、可接受性和可用性 学生和家长相对于一切照常的 SAV 知识和学业自我效能感。
