Graduate Research Traineeships in Instructional Technology for Science Education

GER-9554526 King traineships将资助5名从事科学教育教学技术研究的NCSU研究生。学员将参加物理教育（物理学）、科学教育（数学和科学教育）或空间信息系统（林业），并完成新的跨学科研讨会，重点研究科学教育中教学技术的前沿。来自其他院系的国际公认的教师也将参加这些研讨会，他们对电子教学进行了广泛的研究，并教授教学技术方面的其他研究生课程。学员将参加专业研究会议，并参加我校在科学教育方面的多个区域和国家服务活动，包括美国物理协会的物理学术软件项目，设在我校；美国国家科学基金会和工业界资助的科学之家（Science House），它为农村和非裔美国K-12学生以及北卡罗来纳大学的科学和数学教师提供推广项目；以及GIS扫盲项目。这些培训将帮助北卡州立大学集中其在物理与数学科学学院、农业与生命科学学院、工程学院、教育与心理学院、人文与社会科学学院和设计学院的多个研究项目，将教学技术与认知科学相结合，开发真正创新的科学教育模式。

GER-9554526 King Traineeships will fund five NCSU graduate students working in Instructional Technology for Science Education. Trainees will enroll in either Physics Education (Physics), Science Education (Mathematics and Science Education), or Spatial Information Systems (Forestry) and complete new interdisciplinary seminars focusing on research n the frontiers of instructional technology in science education. Internationally recognized faculty from other departments who have conducted extensive research on electronic delivery of instruction will also participate in these seminars as well as teach other graduate courses in instructional technology. Trainees will attend professional research conferences and participate in NCSU's multiple regional and national service activities in science education, including the American Physics Association's Physics Academic Software Project, housed at NCSU; the NSF-and industry-funded Science House, which sponsors outreach projects to rural and African American K-12 students and NC's science and math teachers; and the GIS Literacy Project. Traineeships will assist NCSU in focusing its multiple research programs in the Colleges of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Agricultural and Life Science, Engineering, Education and Psychology, Humanities and Social Sciences, and the School of Design that are integrating instructional technologies with cognitive science to develop truly innovative models of science education.
