As a newly designated professional title, research software engineers (RSEs) link the two worlds of software engineering and research science. They lack clear development and training opportunities, particularly in the realm of mentoring.…
Serendipity-oriented recommender systems expose users to unfamiliar items to counter filter bubbles, yet mere exposure does not ensure that users will understand or appreciate the content they encounter. We propose Peer Recommendation, a…
Public school districts across the United States have implemented school choice systems that have the potential to improve underserved students' access to educational opportunities. However, research has shown that learning about and…
Students with disabilities are enrolling in postsecondary education in increasing numbers and in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) at steady rates since the early 1990s. Specifically, in 2014, the National Center on…
Unaccompanied migrant youth, fleeing to a new country without their parents, are exposed to mental health risks. Resilience interventions mitigate such risks, but access can be hindered by systemic and personal barriers. While much work has…
Capstone projects are widely adopted by universities around the world as a culminating assessment in bachelor's degree programs. These projects typically involve student teams tackling complex, real-world problems proposed by external…
We present NetSci High, our NSF-funded educational outreach program that connects high school students who are underrepresented in STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics), and their teachers, with regional university research…
Purpose: With the rise of mental health risks globally, it is urgent to provide effective mental health support. However, a holistic understanding of how people seek help for mental health problems remains limited, impeding the development…
To be successful, junior faculty must properly manage their time in the face of expanding responsibilities. One such responsibility is supervising undergraduate research projects. Student research projects (either single or multi-student)…
We introduce the Million Tutoring Moves (MTM) project, an open dataset initiative aimed at advancing the science of tutoring through large-scale, reusable, and multimodal interaction data. MTM is developed within the National Tutoring…
As the field of Trust and Safety in digital spaces continues to grow, it has become increasingly necessary - but also increasingly complex - to collaborate on research across the academic, industry, governmental and non-governmental…
Mentoring is traditionally viewed as a dyadic, top-down apprenticeship. This perspective, however, overlooks other forms of informal mentoring taking place in everyday activities in which developers invest time and effort, but remain…
Most education and workplace learning takes place in classroom contexts far removed from laboratories or field sites with special arrangements for scientific research. But digital online resources provide a novel opportunity for large scale…
This paper presents experiences from a flipped classroom M.Sc. course on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). The students that finished successfully this course participated in twelve short workshops, based on a flipped classroom model. Each…
Students from under-represented populations, including those at minority serving institutions have traditionally faced many barriers that have resulted in their being under-represented in High Energy Physics. These barriers include lack of…
When executed well, project-based learning (PBL) engages students' intrinsic motivation, encourages students to learn far beyond a course's limited curriculum, and prepares students to think critically and maturely about the skills and…
High-performance computing (HPC) and parallel computing increasingly rely on global collaboration among diverse teams, yet traditional computing curricula inadequately prepare students for cross-cultural teamwork essential in modern…
This study proposes a framework for matchmaking a mentor and mentee by exploring intentions of entrepreneurs towards mentoring. The framework based on Theory of Planned Behaviour, Institutional Theory and Social Exchange Theory were applied…
Engaging students in creating novel content, also referred to as learnersourcing, is increasingly recognised as an effective approach to promoting higher-order learning, deeply engaging students with course material and developing large…
The vast majority of US public school districts use school attendance boundaries to determine which student addresses are assigned to which schools. Existing work shows how redrawing boundaries can be a powerful policy lever for increasing…
