本文介绍维多利亚大学 INSPIRE 项目如何依托自我决定理论、社区合作与导师支持，让多元学生通过体验式学习开发社会影响方案，并构建促进代表性不足群体留存的包容性网络。
摘要：
在计算机科学和软件工程专业中留住多元化、代表性不足的学生，是各高校高度关注的问题。在本章中，我们介绍了加拿大维多利亚大学的 INSPIRE: STEM for Social Impact 项目。该项目在策略设计中运用自我决定理论的三项原则——胜任感、关联感和自主感，以赋能女性及其他代表性不足群体，使其能够运用软件和其他工程解决方案来应对可持续发展及由社区驱动的问题。我们还介绍了首个成功年度所取得的经验；该年度共有30多名学生、6个社区合作伙伴（即可持续性问题的所有者）以及20多位行业和学术导师参与，并触达了所在社区中200多名解决方案最终用户。最后，我们为可能希望采用本方法的大学和组织提供了建议。在该项目中，24名在性别、性取向、族裔、学业表现和背景方面具有多元性的学生被分为六个团队，与六个社区合作伙伴配对，致力于解决具有社会影响力的问题，并为各自对应的多个社区合作伙伴开发解决方案。在整个项目期间，每个团队都由一名经验丰富的高年级学生以及来自行业和社区的导师提供支持。该项目的体验式学习方法使学生能够学习多种软技能和技术技能，同时开发具有社会和/或环境影响力的解决方案。拥有多元化团队并为真实最终用户创建解决方案，激励学生积极与同伴、社区合作伙伴和导师协作，从而形成了一个包容性网络。由志同道合者组成的网络，对于赋能代表性不足的个人并激励他们继续留在计算机科学和软件工程领域至关重要。
英文摘要：
Retaining diverse, underrepresented students in computer science and software engineering programs is a significant concern for universities. In this chapter, we describe the INSPIRE: STEM for Social Impact program at the University of Victoria, Canada, which leverages the three principles of self-determination theory competence, relatedness, and autonomy in the design of strategies to empower women and other underrepresented groups in using software and other engineering solutions to approach sustainability, community-driven problems. We also describe lessons learned from a first successful year that involved over 30 students, 6 community partners (sustainability problem owners), and over 20 industry and academic mentors and reached out to more than 200 solution end users in our communities. Finally, we provide recommendations for universities and organizations who may want to adopt our approach. In the program 24 diverse students (in terms of gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, academic standing, and background) divided into six teams paired with six community partners worked on solving society impactful problems and developed solutions for a number of respective community partners. Each team was supported by an experienced upper year student and mentors from industry and community throughout the program. The experiential learning approach of the program allowed the students to learn a variety of soft and technical skills while developing a solution that has a social and/or environmental impact. Having a diverse team and creating a solution for real end users motivated the students to actively collaborate with their peers, community partners, and mentors resulting in the development of an inclusive network. A network of like minded people is crucial in empowering underrepresented individuals and inspiring them to remain in the computer science and software engineering fields.
