Indima Ekhulayo Yebutho Lesizwe Ekuthuthukeni Kwentsha Enesifo Sezifo

Ngaphesheya kwe-United States, i-National Guard iye yaba enye yezinjini eziphumelela kakhulu, ezinezimpande zomphakathi zokuthuthukisa i-STEM (isayensi, i-Engineering, nezibalo) phakathi kobusha. Nakuba abantu abaningi behlobanisa i-gader nempendulo yenhlekelele nesivikelo sesizwe, izinhlelo zayo zokuthatha imidlalo yesikole manje zifinyelela amakhulu ezinkulungwane zabafundi unyaka ngamunye. Lezi zinyathelo zenza okungaphezu kokufundisa amakhono obuchwepheshe agcina i-Melika incintilikithane ezindaweni ezisukela e-injini kuya kunjiniyela. Ngokuhlanganisa izinhlelo zempi nezifundo zezandla, i-gavingsssss zinikeza intsha indlela ekhethekile yokuhlola i-STEM ngezindlela ezivamile ezingoko amakilasi angeke azikwazi ukuzinikeza.

Isakhiwo sikahulumeni esibili esinendawo ebanzi sivumela ukuba sisebenze kokubili njengempahla yomphakathi wendawo nanjengempahla yesizwe. Lokhu kuvumelana kusho ukuthi izinhlelo ze-STEM zingahlotshaniswa nezidingo zendawo − futhi isho ukugxila ekulimeni okunembe eMbindi, ukuvuselelwa kwamandla eNingizimuntshonalanga, noma ekuncipheni kwe-inthaneti eNorthernast. Umphumela uwukusetshenziswa kokubili okungathandeka futhi kuxhunyelelwa kakhulu emiphakathini ekhonzayo.

Okwenza Imfundo Ibaluleke Kakhulu Manje Kunanini Ngaphambili

Imfundo ayiyona i-STEM ewubunewu; iyisidingo sokuphepha kwezomnotho nokuzinza kwesizwe. I-Bureau of Labor Statistics yase-U.S. ihlela ukuthi imisebenzi ye-STEM izokhula cishe nge 11% phakathi kuka-2022 no-2032, idlula kakhulu isilinganiso sayo yonke imisebenzi. Kodwa, igebe eliphikelelayo lisongela ukushiya izigidi zemisebenzi ingagcwaliswanga. Ngokombiko we-2023 i-National Science Board [, kuphela cishe amaphesenti abafundi besikole esiphakeme abhekwa njengolwazi oluhle kakhulu eSTEM. Lokhu kufana kakhulu emasimini enjengezentengo, lapho [FL:] i-EXBRCY [FF:] iveza izikhundlalo ezingaphezulu kwe 7 000]

I-National Guard ikhuluma ngale nkinga ngokuhlasela intsha evela ezizindeni ezihlukahlukene − kuhlanganise nasemaphandleni, amadolobha, nangaphansi kwezindawo ezikhona − lapho ukufinyelela umsebenzi we-STEM ophambili kungalinganiselwa khona. Ngokuletha ama laborabhu, othisha, nezwe langempela izinselele kubafundi, igada lisiza ukukhuphula inkundla yokudlala. Umgomo awukona nje ukuveza ososayensi abaningi nonjiniyela, kodwa ukuthuthukisa ubuciko obungajwayelana nesayensi yezobuchwepheshe esheshayo.

Izinhlelo Zokushayela Ifulegi Ezishayela Ukuhlanganyela Kwangempela

I-National Guard inezinhlelo ezihlukahlukene ze-STEM, ngayinye eklanyelwe ukuthatha isithakazelo emazingeni ahlukene obudala namakhono. Lezi akuzona izindawo zokusebenzela ezingaphandle; zigcinwa, zisekelwe ezifundweni ezakha ulwazi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.

UCyberPatriot: Umncintiswano WobuPristi Besizwe

Ekuqaleni kwaqanjwa i-Air Force Association, uCyberPatriot manje uyitshe legumbi leqembu lentsha le-National Guard STEM. Umsebenzi wokuncintisana phakathi namaqembu esikole esiphakeme nokuvikela imishini engokoqobo ekuhlaseleni kweze-inthane. Abafundi kumelwe balinganisele izintambo zomlilo, izimiso zokusebenza, futhi baqaphele iziphazamiso − zonke ngaphansi kokucindezela kwesikhathi. U-National Guard uxhasa amaqembu amaningi eCyberPatriot ezweni lonke, unikeze amathuluzi, abafundisi, futhi ngezinye izikhathi ngisho nezokufaka izinhlelo zokuzivivinya ezenzweni zempi.

Abafundi abangaphezu kuka - 10 000 bahlanganyela unyaka ngamunye, futhi abaningi bayaqhubeka bethola izincwadi ezingaziwa zemboni. Izikhulu zika-CyberPatriot zisebenzisa futhi i-CyberPatriot njengethuluzi lokujoyina imishini ye-inthanethi yazo, kodwa ngokuyinhloko isagxila ekwakheni izisebenzi zesizwe zemishini ye-inthaneti. Abaningana ababekhona baye bathola ulwazi oluphelele lwasekolishi ngobuhlobo be- nobuchwepheshe be-SANS .

INGXAKI: Amadlelo Esihlanu Angenamswakama

STARBASE ungomunye wezinhlelo ze-Divince of Department zokufundisa ezithatha isikhathi eside kakhulu, futhi i-National Guard isebenza cishe ama-60 STRABASE ascademie ezikoleni ezingu-30. Uhlelo luletha amakilasi esihlanu aphezulu eGadeni emasontweni amahora angu-20-25 ezandla ezifunda emasontweni ambalwa. Abafundi baklama amarokhethi, amarobhothi ohlelo, ukuxazulula izifashini zesayensi yemvelo, futhi ngisho nokulingisa imithunywa yemkhathi emaplanethini aphathekayo.

Imiphumela iyashukumisa: ukuhlola okuzimele kwe-U.S.A. Institute Research Research kubonisa ukuthi abafundi abaningi abathatha i-STarBASE bathola impumelelo enkulu kakhulu ekuhlolweni konyaka wesayensi uma kuqhathaniswa nontanga abangayanga. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukugcizelela kohlelo ekuphambaneni nasekuzinzeni kuvumelana nezindinganiso ezisemqoka zomqaphi. Abafundi abaningi abaya eSTARBASE kamuva baveza isithakazelo sokujoyina iQumgaga, nakuba injongo yohlelo ifundisa kakhulu.

Ubunjiniyela Nezinqolobane

Phakathi nezinyanga zasehlobo, izilinganiso ze-National Guards zobunjiniyela obungenisa ubunjiniyela kanye nemishini yokusebenza. Lokhu okuhlangenwe nakho okunzima, okuthatha isonto lonke lapho abafundi bakha khona i-RAV (izimoto ezisetshenziswa ngokusemthethweni), ukwakha amabhuloho, noma uhlelo lwe-dronesi. Amakamu ngokuvamile ahlanganisa imincintiswano emikhulu yesizwe enjenge [ FORST probotics ne VEXROCYS. Onjiniyela abaqali be-logist basebenza njengabacebisi bezwe, banikeza ukuqonda kwangempela kwezimiso ze-STEEM] ekusebenzeni kwezempi, ekulungiseni izimoto ngaphansi kwezimo zezokuxhumana.

Isibonelo esiphawulekayo yi- Wisconn National Guard’s “Stem Summer Camp,” ekhulele ekukhonzeni abafundi abangaphezu kuka 500 ngonyaka, enomlindi unyaka ngamunye. Ikamu lihlanganisa iziqephu ze-CAD (umklamo owenziwe nge-computer), ukunyathelisa i-3D, ngisho ‘ nokuveza i-"mfashoni ekhanyisayo" ephikisa lapho abafundi bebangela izinkinga zokuvuvukala komoya. Abazali babika ukuthi ikamu livame ukuguqula izifundiso zemfundo zabantwana babo zibheke eziphambili ezifundweni nasemifundweni yesayensi.

Ubufundisi Nomsebenzi Womsebenzi

Ngaphandle kwezinhlelo ezihleliwe, i-National Guard ithatha izinyathelo zokuxhumanisa ubusha nochwepheshe be-STEM igqoke iyunifomu. i-“STEM Guard Menotor” Uhlelo, oluqondiswe eFlorida naseTexas, amabhangqa amabanga aphezulu asebenza njengamalungu ochwepheshe be-ITAR, onjiniyela, noma izikhulu zezokwelapha. Abafundi bafihla abafundisi babo ngengxenye yosuku ngenyanga, bebuka inkinga yangempela yomsebenzi nokuchayeka ezindleleni zomsebenzi abangase bangacabangi.

Loluhlelo luhlanganisa nezindawo zokusebenzela ezakhiweni futhi, amakhono okuxoxa, nokufaka isicelo semifundaze yeROTC. Omunye umeluleki, uMajor Susan Chen, unjiniyela wezindiza ne-California Air National Guard, uyaphawula: “Iningi lalezi zingane aliqondi ukuthi ungaba unjiniyela nesosha. Bacabanga ukuthi i-STEM ingeyabantu abafake izimpahla zokuhlola. Sibabonisa futhi ukuthi ingowokuklama imishini esindisa ukuphila kwabantu.”

Ithonya Elingalinganiswayo Entsheni Nasemiphakathini

The National Guard’s STEM initiatives produce tangible outcomes. A 2022 longitudinal study funded by the National Guard Bureau tracked 3,000 participants over five years and found:

  • 72% yalabo ababethathe inxaxheba babhalisela uhlelo lwangemva kwesekondari STEM, uma kuqhathaniswa no 38% weqembu elilawulayo elihambisanayo.
  • 89% babika ukuthi bathembela ngokwengeziwe emandleni abo okuxazulula izinkinga zobuchwepheshe.
  • 64% bathi lesi simiso sathonya isinqumo sabo sokuphishekela umsebenzi waseSTEM noma inkonzo yasobala.

Imiphumela yokuchitheka komchamo ibalulekile futhi. Ezindaweni zasemaphandleni, i-STRABASE nemishini yamarobhothi ngokuvamile iwukuphela kwezindawo zokuchayeka ezilinganayo ezikhona. Amabhizinisi endawo avame ukusebenzelana namahlelo ogadayo ezinto ezengeziwe, ukuqinisa ipropati yemvelo ebanzi. Ngokwesibonelo, i- South Dakota National Guard[[[ asebenza ngokunenzuzo amafemu ezolimo ukuze athuthukise imodeliudia lapho abafundi besebenzisa khona imishini ukuze bahlaziye inzuzo yezentengiselwano emboni yombuso.

Izinhlelo zithuthukisa futhi ubuhlobo bezempi nobuqeqeshiwe. Uma amalungu agada ekhonza njengabameli, avala igebe phakathi kwenkonzo efanayo nokuphila kwansuku zonke. Abafundi nemikhaya yabo babheka iQuaphi njengethuluzi lemfundo nentuthuko yomsebenzi, hhayi nje njengethonya eliphuthumayo. Lokhu kuphathiswa kubaluleke kakhulu ekujoyineni kodwa, okubaluleke kakhulu, ukwakha i-STEM-litrateryry.

Izindaba Zempumelelo Yangempela Yezwe

Imizamo yeNational Guard’s STEM iye yaveza izindaba eziningi zempumelelo eziqokomisa amandla okuchayeka lapho usaqala.

UKevin Li, manje onguchwepheshe wezobuphekula ne-New York Army National Guard, waqala ukubhekana nokuhlinzwa kolwembu lwe-inthaneti lapho eneminyaka engu-14 kuya eCyberPatriot exhaswe yiqembu lonogada wezobugada bendawo. “Ngangazi ngisho nokuthi i-freall bomb,” uyakhumbula. “Kodwa umfundisi wangibonisa indlela yokuphuka kwe-ingosi ye-injini yethu ukuze ngithole ubuthakathaka. Ngangiyinkingekile.” ULi waqhubekela ukuthola iziqu zolwazi olusekelwe kuRochester Institute of Technology, ngenzuzo yemfundo yeQuer. Manje uhola iqembu elifanayo elikanye nomfundi.

UMaria Gonzalez, umfundi wokuqala wekholiji ovela emaphandleni e-Arizona, waya ekamu lobunjiyela be-National Guard ngo-2018. Iprojekthi yalelikamu yangaphansi kwamanzi yavusa isithakazelo enjiniyela. Kamuva wathola imfundo egcwele eYunivesithi yase-Arizona, lapho ayenolwazi ngezakhiwo ze-aerozomfera. Namuhla, usebenza njengonjiniyela wemboni wezezezindiza ezinkulu. “Ukuba lelokamu belikhona, cishe ngabe ngisebenze esitolo sokudlalela ekhaya, usho ukuthi uGauth ungibonise ukuthi ngikhona emhlabeni omkhulu.”

“ Izinhlelo ze-National Guard’s STEM azifundisi isayensi − azifundisi injongo. Abafundi bafunda ukuthi amakhono abo obuchwepheshe angakhonza izwe labo kanye nomphakathi wabo ngesikhathi esifanayo.” — UDkt. uJames Whitfield, STEM Education Researcher, RAND RAND Corporation

I - Guard igcina ingosi yomphakathi yezinto ezifeziwe ze - alumni, ezihlanganisa neziqu eziye zaba onjiniyela be - NASA, abahlaziyi be - cybersecurety e - Department of Homeland Security, ngisho nothisha be - STEM manje abahola amaqembu abo ohlelo.

Ukuthutha Amandla Ngomuzwa Wenkonzo

Esinye isici esihlukanisa izinhlelo zeNational Guard nehlelo lobulungu kuphela ukuhlobana okucacile phakathi kwe-STEM nenkonzo. Abafundi abafundi nje kuphela ukufunda ikhodi noma ukwakha izifunda; bafunda ukuthi lamakhono angavikela omakhelwane babo nesizwe sabo. Phakathi nezinhlekelele zemvelo, amaqembu agada i-STEM ngokuvamile asebenzela ukubuyisela ukuxhumana, asebenzise ama-rone afuna i-transche-recue, noma amise imiphakathi yesikhashana ezikhungweni. Intsha eye yazibonela ngalezi zinhlelo zogadali ibona lokhu, iqonda ukuthi amakhono ayo anemiphumela yangempela, ngokushesha.

Lokhu “ukuhlolwa kwemfundo ye-STEM-elegin” kuzwakala kakhulu ngesizukulwane Z, iqembu elihlala linezinjongo zomphakathi njengesikhulu esiphambili. Ngokwenhlolo - vo ye 2023 ye- Achieve Foundation, 73% yabafundi basesikoleni esiphakeme bathi bangaba nesithakazelo kakhulu ku-STEM uma bebona ukuthi isiza umphakathi wabo ngokuqondile.

I-guard isebenzisa nemisebenzi yayo yezobuchwepheshe njengenjini yokuhlola. Amalungu onogada aqeqeshelwe ukusebenza nge-inthanethi, abagcini bezindiza, noma ochwepheshe bezokwelapha bavame ukudonselwa ezinyathelweni zokufundisa izinhlelo zentsha. Lokhu kungcoliswa kwesiphambano akuzuzisi nje kuphela ulwazi lwabafundi kodwa futhi kulola namakhono amalungu oMqaphi ngokwawo, okumelwe achaze imiqondo eyinkimbinkimbi ngamazwi alula [1] i-a i-colorder shopy.

Izinselele Nentuthuko Eqhubekayo

Alukho uhlelo oluphelele. Izindlela zokuhlola ze-National Guards STEM eziqhubekayo zibhekene nezinselele eziqhubekayo eziqhubeka zikhona. Ukuhlanganisa ukungahleleki okuqhubekayo kuyinkinga engapheli-ngo-ngo-nyaka] izinhlelo zikahulumeni ezixhomeke ekubekeni imali ehlelekile ngonyaka okungashintshashintshashintsha. Ukugaxeka kobudlelwano benkampani nezinkampani ezifana ne- Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, ne-Google, okunikeza i-program, i-sof, nesss systry. Nokho, lokhu kuncintisana kwabantu bangaphandle kungadala izikhala uma kushintshwa.

Izinga lokwehlukana kobuzwe [[FLT: 1] futhi liyaphikelela. Nakuba izifundazwe ezinjenge California ne New York zinama-STEM anamandla, amazwe amancane noma amancane anabantu alwa nezinhlelo zezisebenzi nabafundisi abafanelekayo. Abagada manje bazama ngezindawo zobufundisi ezihambelanayo ezixhumanisa abafundi ezindaweni ezikude namalungu amasosha asemadolobheni nge-video nakuyi-i-albacles. Abashayeli bokuqala baseMontane nase-Alaska baye babonisa isithembiso, ngezimiso zabafundi ezihambelanayo ze-e-sopt.

Enye indawo yokukhula ukwanda ngalé kwe-STM engokwesiko ukuhlanganisa [[FLT:]data yokufunda, ukuhlakanipha kokwenziwa, kanye ne-quantam computing. I-gard muva nje ivule umshayeli “AI kulungile" izifundo ezihlobene ne-consium yamayunivesithi, lapho abafundi besebenzisa khona umshini ukufunda ukuhlaziya imifanekiso ye-tellitellite yokulondoloza indawo ezungezile. Izinhlelo ezinjalo zigcina uhlelo luvumelana nomngcele wobuchwepheshe.

Isiphetho: Isimiso Semfundo Yomphakathi Eyimfihlo

Isibopho se-National Guard sokuthuthukisa imfundo ye-STEM phakathi kobusha singaphezu kakhulu komzamo womphakathi. Kumelela ukutshala imali okuwusizo, okubekwe umphakathi emsebenzini wesikhathi esizayo nokhuseleko lwesizwe. Ngokuhlanganisa imisebenzi yezandla ngezezandla kanye nochwepheshe abafanayo, i-gard inikeza imfundo ye-STEM enzima nenenjongo ejulile. Imiphumela [1] Ukubhalisa amadegree aphezulu e-STEM, ukuqiniseka okukhuphukayo, kanye nophayiphi yekhono elihlukene.

Kubenzi bezimiso, othisha, nabaholi bomphakathi abafuna ukuphumelela ngale mpumelelo, iNational Guard inikeza isibonelo esinamandla: sebenzisa izakhiwo ezikhona, sebenzisa inzuzo yezisebenzi zokuzithandela ezikhonzayo, futhi ngaso sonke isikhathi uhlanganisa imfundo nomsebenzi omkhulu kunalelo kilasi. Njengoba isidingo sochwepheshe abanekhono be-STEM siqhubeka, izinhlelo zentsha ze-gard zizoba bucayi kakhulu. Babonisa ukuthi ngokuthatha isinyathelo esifanele, ungavikela izwe futhi ufundise izingane zalo ngesikhathi esifanayo.
