项目摘要

Career and Research Exploration for Students and Teachers (CREST)Career and Research Exploration for Students and Teachers (CREST) provides amodel for integrating research and education by enhancing teacher content knowledge in the geosciences while providing students with exposure to geosciences and environmental research and related careers. During each of two summers, five teams, composed of one science teacher and three middle school students per team, will spend two weeks working with personnel from Mississippi Lignite Mine Company's Red Hills Mine and Mississippi State University scientists. Students and teachers learn academic content and research methods relative to development and utilization of a lignite coal resource, including resource identification, pre-mining, mining, and post-mining. Hands-on research accompanied by appropriate lectures in the areas of ecology, geology and reclamation gives students and teachers experiences with data collection, data analysis and data interpretation. Students and teachers are exposed to issues of mining and the environmental impact of the Red Hills Mine by working with scientists and participating in on-going research projects at the mine and in the local area. Academic year follow-up occurs through electronic communication among student-teacher teams, project and mine personnel and scientists. CREST has the potential to introduce geosciences and research to underrepresented groups. Participants are selected from school districts in counties surrounding Red Hills Mine. The middle schools identified for participant recruitment have a minority population ranging from 25% to 100%.

学生和教师的职业和研究探索（CREST）通过增强教师在地球科学方面的内容知识，同时为学生提供接触地球科学和环境研究及相关职业的机会，为整合研究和教育提供了模式。在两个夏天的每一个夏天，五个小组，由一名科学教师和三名中学生组成的每一个小组，将花两个星期的工作人员从密西西比褐煤矿山公司的红山矿和密西西比州立大学的科学家。学生和教师学习与褐煤资源开发和利用相关的学术内容和研究方法，包括资源识别，开采前，开采和开采后。在生态学，地质学和填海领域的实践研究伴随着适当的讲座，为学生和教师提供数据收集，数据分析和数据解释的经验。学生和教师通过与科学家合作并参与矿山和当地正在进行的研究项目，接触到采矿和红山矿山的环境影响问题。学年的后续行动是通过师生小组、项目和采矿人员以及科学家之间的电子通信进行的。CREST有潜力将地球科学和研究介绍给代表性不足的群体。参与者是从红山煤矿周围县的学区挑选出来的。被确定为参与者招募的中学有25%至100%的少数民族人口。
