摘要

实习、工作见习、合作教育项目以及其他形式的体验式教育在学生从本科课程成功过渡到职业道路的过程中发挥着至关重要的作用。我们把这些机会统称为与工作相关的体验活动(WREA)。虽然这些体验活动很有价值,但学生获得这些体验的机会可能因多种因素而异,包括他们自身的社会经济背景、社交网络、大学课程和地理环境。本文利用人口普查和兴趣点数据,为 STEM 相关机会制定了一个地理空间 WREA 机会指数,以确定哪些人口普查区的 WREA 机会率最高,以及哪些设施对学生最有吸引力,从而帮助填补这一空白。为此,我们对佐治亚州的多个大学校园进行了调查和访谈,以确定学生的理想特征,并对他们参与的 WREA 进行编目。该指数凸显了各大学校园之间的差距,尤其是位于亚特兰大大都会的大学校园与位于该州较小城市的大学校园之间的差距。该工具提供了一种量化和可视化这些差异的方法,可以支持对有助于缩小学生机会差距的计划进行投资。

Mapping local suitability for STEM work-related experiential opportunities in Georgia

Internships, job shadows, cooperative education programs, and other forms of experiential education can play a crucial role in students successfully transitioning from their undergraduate program to a career pathway. We collectively term these opportunities as work-related experiential activities (WREAs). While valuable, students’ access to these experiences can vary based on multiple factors, including their own socioeconomic background, access to social networks, university programs, and geographic context. Little research has been done on the last of these factors, and this paper helps fill this gap by developing a geospatial WREA opportunity index for STEM related opportunities, using census and point-of-interest data to identify census tracts with the greatest rate of WREA opportunity and attractive amenities for students. To do so, we draw on surveys and interviews across multiple college campuses in Georgia, both to identify desirable characteristics for students and to catalog the WREAs they have participated in. This index highlights disparities across college campuses, particularly between those located in metropolitan Atlanta compared to those in smaller cities in the state. This tool provides a way to quantify and visualize those differences in ways that can support investment in programs that help bridge opportunity gaps for students.

期刊介绍: Applied Geography is a journal devoted to the publication of research which utilizes geographic approaches (human, physical, nature-society and GIScience) to resolve human problems that have a spatial dimension. These problems may be related to the assessment, management and allocation of the world physical and/or human resources. The underlying rationale of the journal is that only through a clear understanding of the relevant societal, physical, and coupled natural-humans systems can we resolve such problems. Papers are invited on any theme involving the application of geographical theory and methodology in the resolution of human problems.
