Science Teachers Research Involvement for Vital Education (STRIVE): Regional Replication

该项目建立在橡树岭联合大学奋进试点计划的成功基础上，并在美国能源部(DOE)的八个实验室复制。在1989年、1990年和1991年的每个夏天，将有50名初中和高中科学和数学教师专职从事国家重点项目的研究。他们还将参加旨在探索创新方法的研讨会，以便更有效地向学生传达科学研究的性质。研讨会还将提供一个机会，以开发供其课堂使用的资源材料。田纳西大学将授予6小时的教育学分。参与者将在研究学科中获得额外学分。一套相辅相成的学年活动鼓励过去和现在的参与者相互交流，并与实验室科学家互动。它们是：时事通讯。一年两次的时事通讯将促进所有参与者和实验室科学家之间的持续联系。访问科学家计划。与教师一起工作的实验室科学家将参观教师所在的学校。在访问期间，他们将进行课堂演示/演示，帮助学生完成项目，并与学生或教师合作。演示文稿。教师将根据他们的研究经验，向教师、管理人员和家长进行在职会议和其他演示。数据库访问。ORAU将探索如何为奋进教师提供持续获取实验室研究活动信息的途径。橡树岭联合大学的韦恩·史蒂文森博士是该项目的负责人。他担任试点项目的联席主任。费用分摊金额相当于NSF奖励的112%。

This project builds on the success of the STRIVE pilot program of Oak Ridge Associated Universities and replicates it at eight U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories. During each summer of 1989, 1990, and 1991, 50 middle and senior high school science and mathematics teachers will engage in full-time research on projects of national importance. They will also participate in workshops designed to explore innovative ways to more effectively communicate the nature of scientific research to students. The workshop sessions will also provide an opportunity to develop resource materials for use in their classrooms. Six hours of academic credit in education will be granted through the University of Tennessee. Participants will earn additional credits in the research discipline. A complementary set of academic year activities encourage past and present participants to interact with each other and with laboratory scientists. They are: Newsletter. A twice a year newsletter will facilitate ongoing contact between all participants and lab scientists. Visiting Scientist Program. Lab scientists who worked with the teachers will visit schools of the teachers. During the visit they will give classroom presentations/demonstrations, help with student projects, and work with students or teachers. Presentations. In-service sessions and other presentations to teachers, administrators, and parents will be made by the teachers based on their research experience. Database Access. ORAU will explore ways to provide STRIVE teachers with continuing access to information about laboratory research activities. Dr. Wayne Stevenson of Oak Ridge Associated Universities is the Project Director. He served as Co-Director for the pilot project. There is cost sharing in an amount equal to 112% of the NSF award.
