Abstract

ABSTRACT This study was to design and explore the effects of an enrichment program on the leadership, attitude, and motivation of ethnic minority gifted and talented students who want to be scientists and engineers in the future. Ten gifted and talented students participated in this study, Youth Science and Technology Leadership Camp (YSTLC). A leadership test was developed and implemented to the participants as a pre-test and post-test. The daily reports and interviews at the end of the camp examined their understanding of personal openness and attitudes toward being scientists and engineers. The enrichment program YSTLC improved their leadership and their knowledge of and attitude toward science and engineering for their future careers. This research highlights the importance of developing enrichment programs with a framework of effective methodologies that can be used to educate gifted and talented students, including minority students, to develop strong leadership skills, scientific knowledge, and perspicuous visions for their future.

为在科学和工程方面有天赋和才华的少数民族学生提供的充实计划

摘要:本研究旨在设计并探讨一项强化计划对未来想成为科学家和工程师的少数民族资优学生的领导力、态度和动机的影响。10位资优学生参加了本次青少年科技领袖营(YSTLC)的研究。设计并实施了领导力测试，分为前测和后测两部分。营地结束时的每日报告和采访考察了他们对个人开放性的理解以及对成为科学家和工程师的态度。YSTLC项目提高了他们的领导能力，提高了他们对科学和工程的知识和态度，为他们未来的职业生涯做准备。这项研究强调了开发具有有效方法框架的丰富课程的重要性，这些课程可用于教育有天赋和才华的学生，包括少数民族学生，以培养强大的领导技能，科学知识和对未来的清晰愿景。
