The Rising Tide Project: Changing How University Researchers and Secondary Educators Work Together

上升潮项目：改变大学研究人员和中学教育工作者的工作方式上升潮项目通过使研究人员和教育工作者之间的合作成为常态，而不是例外，提高了当地的科学意识和信心水平。教师/学生团队，每个团队由一名当地高中教师和一名沿海卡罗莱纳大学(CCU)本科生组成，与CCU海洋科学教师导师合作开展暑期研究项目。每个团队都参与了不同的当地海洋相关研究项目。利用研究经验的方法和数据，每个团队都为高中生设计了与当地相关的基于发现和探究的课堂活动。活动以基于网络的形式设计，在课堂上进行测试和评估，并纳入南卡罗来纳州水族馆的网站，在那里它们成为水族馆全州范围内水生课程的一部分。该计划的目标是提高当地高中科学教师的科学能力，并使当地高中科学教师能够通过融入基于当地相关科学研究的课堂活动来激励他们的课堂，这些研究具有良好的教学效果，并符合国家和州的标准。

ABSTRACTThe Rising Tide Project: Changing How University Researchers and Secondary Educators Work TogetherThe Rising Tide Project raises the level of scientific awareness and confidence on a local level by making collaboration between researchers and educators the norm, rather than the exception. Teacher/student teams, each consisting of one local high school teacher and one Coastal Carolina University (CCU) undergraduate, work with CCU marine science faculty mentors on summer research projects. Each team participates in a different local marine-related research project. Using the methodology and data from its research experience, each team designs locally relevant discovery and inquiry based classroom activities for high school students. Activities are designed in a web-based format, tested and assessed in the classroom, and incorporated into the South Carolina Aquarium's web site where they become part of the Aquarium's statewide aquatic curriculum. The goals of this program are to improve the scientific competence of local high school science teachers and enable local high school science teachers to motivate their classrooms by incorporating classroom activities based on locally relevant scientific research that is pedagogically sound and is consistent with national and state standards.
