Project Description
The overarching goal of the Enhancement of Minority Students’ Learning Outcomes and Success in STEM (ENHANCE) project is to enhance sustainable, evidence-based, engaged student teaching and learning; increase remote learning capability; and integrate student research, peer tutoring and career development activities to improve minority students’ learning outcomes and success in STEM disciplines at AAMU. The project has four objectives: (1) facilitate the adaptation of evidence-based pedagogies in STEM courses to improve students’ learning outcomes and critical thinking skills through engaged student learning, and build capacity for remote learning; (2) study the effect of evidence-based pedagogies in STEM courses on students’ learning outcomes (cognitive and non-cognitive), critical thinking, success, retention, and graduation in STEM for HBCU minority student environment and remote learning; (3) improve peer-tutoring and career and professional development opportunities and address Mental Health Impact due to COVID-19; and (4) broaden the undergraduate Student Research Experience in STEM to enhance student learning experience and value.
