Abstract

This session will share a paper on the qualitative/quantitative research and a youth-centered, participatory design methodology for educational technology development created through work with 3 NSF-funded STEM projects. Since 2003, Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC) has worked with middle-school aged underserved youth to develop digital resources, for students and teachers, aimed at encouraging young people to pursue STEM education and careers. Through this work EDC has developed and implemented a powerful, youth-centered methodology for the design of educational technology. In addition to extensive qualitative research with youth (surveys and focus groups), young people and educators serve on project-specific ‘youth design teams’, functioning as experts and co-creators from project inception to completion. In addition to the paper, the final products – digital libraries, web-based videos, virtual learning experiences – will also be demoed briefly for attendees.
