科学教育改革倡议的一个主要重点是通过与科学家的真正合作为学生提供扩展探究经验的重要性。因此，科学和教育之间开始出现独特的伙伴关系，在学生理解周围世界的过程中，不断努力抓住他们的兴趣和想象力。其中一种伙伴关系被称为学生-教师-科学家伙伴关系，在这种伙伴关系中，教师和学生参与并为科学家的研究做出贡献。本文探讨了一位十年级生物老师、她的学生和实践科学家之间的合作关系，他们合作设计、实施和评估了一个马的进化单元。合作活动的主要目标是让教师和学生参与概念变化的过程，以消除在全国各地博物馆展出的马进化中隐含的常见误解。以证据为基础的课程增强了学生对宏观进化概念的理解，同时也将科学课堂与一群科学家联系起来，这些科学家对马的进化单元进行个性化研究，将生物学概念和学习经验置于现实世界问题的背景下。
One major emphasis of reform initiatives in science education is the importance of extended inquiry experiences for students through authentic collaborations with scientists. As such, unique partnerships have started to emerge between science and education in an ongoing effort to capture the interest and imaginations of students as they make sense of the world around them. One such partnership is called the student–teacher–scientist partnership, in which teachers and their students participate in and contribute to the research of scientists. This article explores a partnership between a 10th-grade biology teacher, her students, and practicing scientists who collaborated in the design, implementation and evaluation of a horse evolution unit. The primary goal of the collaborative activity was to involve teachers and students in a process of conceptual change as a means of eliminating common misconceptions implicit in horse evolution displays in museums in various parts of the country. The evidence-based lessons developed enhanced students’ understanding of concepts in macroevolution but also connected the science classroom with a community of scientists whose personalization of the horse evolution unit situated biological concepts and the learning experience within the context of real-world issues.
