9705651 Carlitz The conference "Balancing Research and Practice" will bring together principal investigators in the NSF's Networking Infrastnucture for Education (NIE) program. The conference will take place from April 3-5, 1997, preceded by a six-week on-line discussion of issues that will be addressed in the conference. The overall conference theme will be the question of balancing research and practice. The NIE program provides many examples of research projects which have made substantial strides toward the incorporation of the lessons reamed from this research into the daily practice of the school districts involved in these projects. Another aspect of the NIE projects that will be emphasized in the conference is the idea of infusing research values into the classroom environment and thereby maintaining the freshness and dynamic inherent in the research phases of these NSF-sponsored activities. Here, too, the NIE program provides a number of good examples. These aspects of the NIE program will be significant in several new NSF initiatives including Research on Education Policy and Practice (REPP), Leaming and Intelligent Systems (LIS) and other efforts aimed at technology integration in education. In this sense the proposed conference will assist the Foundation in the launching of these new initiatives. Attendees at the conference will indude principal investigators and classroom prachboners from the various NIE projects, as well as the representatives of other federal programs which impact upon school networking programs. This group will interact on-line prior to the April 3-5 meeting. At the conference there will be break-out sessions which continue the on-line interactions and attempt to reach conclusions on the topics with which individual break-out groups will be charged. The emphasis here will be upon identifying problems and seeking to find solutions to these problems, rather than simply to catalog the many successes of the NIE program. On-line resources will be created in con junction with the conference, which will both highlight successes of the NIE program and summarize the on-line and face-to-face discussions which will take place as part of the conference. The conference itself will be held in Pittsburgh, PA, allowing attendees to visit some of the dozens of school and community sites involved in the Common Knowledge: Pittsburgh project and its various extensions to community and municipal networking. These site visits will provide a portion of the conference's focus upon issues of practice. The site visits will be followed by the break-out sessions, which will emphasize issues of research and the balance between research and practice. A plenary session will pull together the various threads that will have been explored in the break-out sessions and provide conference attendees with an overall summary of the issues addressed by the conference and an outlook for future activities in this area in the realms of research and practice. ***

“平衡研究与实践”会议将汇集美国国家科学基金会教育网络基础设施（NIE）项目的主要研究人员。会议将于1997年4月3日至5日举行，在此之前对会议将讨论的问题进行为期六周的联机讨论。会议的总体主题将是平衡研究与实践的问题。NIE项目提供了许多研究项目的例子，这些研究项目在将从研究中获得的经验纳入参与这些项目的学区的日常实践方面取得了实质性进展。会议将强调的NIE项目的另一个方面是将研究价值注入课堂环境，从而保持这些nsf赞助活动的研究阶段固有的新鲜感和活力。在这方面，NIE项目也提供了一些很好的例子。NIE项目的这些方面将在几个新的NSF计划中发挥重要作用，包括教育政策与实践研究（REPP）、学习与智能系统（LIS）以及其他旨在将技术整合到教育中的努力。从这个意义上说，拟议的会议将协助基金会发起这些新的倡议。会议的与会者将包括来自各种NIE项目的主要研究人员和课堂教师，以及影响学校网络项目的其他联邦项目的代表。该小组将在4月3-5日会议之前进行在线互动。在会议上，将有分组会议，继续在线互动，并试图就个别分组小组将负责的主题达成结论。这里的重点将是发现问题并寻求解决这些问题的办法，而不是简单地列出NIE项目的许多成功案例。在线资源将与会议一起创建，这些资源将突出NIE计划的成功，并总结将作为会议一部分进行的在线和面对面讨论。会议本身将在宾夕法尼亚州的匹兹堡举行，与会者可以参观参与“常识：匹兹堡”项目的几十所学校和社区站点，以及它对社区和市政网络的各种扩展。这些实地考察将成为会议关注实践问题的一部分。实地考察之后将进行分组讨论，重点讨论研究问题以及研究与实践之间的平衡。全体会议将汇集分组会议中探讨的各种主题，并向与会者提供会议处理的问题的总体总结，以及在研究和实践领域对该领域未来活动的展望。＊＊＊
