Establishing a Partnership Laboratory

这个PFSMETE启动资助提案的目标是在UCSF SEP框架内建立一个伙伴关系实验室，该实验室将发现并建立有关科学和教育界之间如何合作以改善和阐明K-20+科学教育的知识。该合作实验室将不会是一个独立的实体，而是与SEP现有的科学教育专业发展和合作项目相结合的学术研究和评估工作，从而使合作研究工作制度化。建立伙伴实验室的两个主要目标是：通过分析科学家-教师伙伴关系结果与不同伙伴关系规划模式之间的相关性，开始调查K-12学生从科学家-教师伙伴关系中获得的结果，以及研究伙伴关系经历对科学家和教师职业轨迹的影响，通过扩展和转变pfsmet发起的伙伴关系研究来构建科学家-教师伙伴关系的知识。建立一个伙伴关系研究共同体：1)成立一个由资深SEP科学家和教师组成的合作伙伴合作研究小组，从事持续的伙伴关系行动研究；2)让科学和教育研究领域的学者和实践者担任合作伙伴研究顾问；3)每半年在研究静修会上召集合作伙伴合作研究小组成员、合作伙伴研究顾问和SEP员工，分析研究问题；方法策略、数据分析和结果解释。这一努力不仅将导致建立一个伙伴关系实验室，而且还将开始建立一个k -20+教育伙伴关系的学科，研究教师和从业者之间的合作，以提高所有学生的学科领域教育的质量和真实性。此外，尽管拟议的努力特别侧重于科学教育伙伴关系，但它们有可能为许多学科的伙伴关系的发展提供信息和促进。因此，这些关于科学家-教师伙伴关系的研究将符合国家利益，这些努力的文件和研究结果的综合将通过在科学和教育会议上的介绍加以传播，最终目标是在期刊文章中发表，并汇编成伙伴关系手册。

The goal of this PFSMETE Start-Up Grant proposal is to establish a Partnership Laboratory within the framework of the UCSF SEP that will make discoveries and build knowledge about how collaborations between the scientific and education communities can improve and articulate K-20+ science education. This Partnership Laboratory will not be a separate, independent entity, but rather a scholarly research and evaluation effort integrated with SEP's existing professional development and partnership programs in science education, thereby institutionalizing partnership research efforts. The two major goals of establishing a Partnership Laboratory are: To build knowledge of scientist-teacher partnership by expanding and transforming PFSMETE-initiated partnership research by I) analyzing the correlation between scientist- teacher partnership outcomes and different programmatic models of partnership, 2) beginning an investigation of K-12 student outcomes that result from scientist-teacher partnerships, and 3) examining the influence of partnership experiences on the career trajectories of scientists and teachers. To cultivate a partnership research community by 1) founding a Partnership Collaborative Inquiry Group of veteran SEP scientists and teachers who engage in on-going partnership action research, 2) involving scholars and practitioners from the fields of science and education research as Partnership Research Advisors, and 3) convening Partnership Collaborative Inquiry Group members, Partnership Research Advisors, and the SEP Staff semi- annually at Research Retreats to analyze research questions, methodological strategies, data analysis, and interpretation of fmdings. The effort will not only result in the establishment of a Partnership Laboratory, but also begin to build an academic discipline ofK-20+ Education Partnership, the study of collaboration between teachers and practitioners to increase the quality and authenticity of subject area education for all students. In addition, although the proposed efforts are focused on science education partnerships specifically, they have the potential for informing and promoting the development of partnerships in many disciplines. As such, these studies of scientist-teacher partnership will be of national interest, and documentation of these efforts and synthesis of fmdings will be disseminated through presentation at scientific and educational conferences, with the eventual goal of publication in journal articles and compilation into a partnership handbook.
