PROPOSAL NO.: 0230535PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Kukreti, AnantINSTITUTION NAME: University of Cincinnati Main CampusTITLE: Science and Mathematics Authentic inquiRy-based Teaching: Project SMART for K-12ABSTRACTProject SMART partners engineering and education faculty members with K-12 educators toempower high school students to successfully complete college.. Project SMART recognizes that effective student education requires authentic, inquiry-based learning. By solving open-ended problems based upon real world examples, students will link the relevance of their education with their daily lives and appreciatethe intrinsic and tangible values of science and mathematics in modern society. The five goals of ProjectSMART include: Improving science and mathematics achievement of ALL students, consistent with our overarchinggoal ioTo Leave No Child Behind.l_ Training secondary science and mathematics educators to incorporate authentic, inquiry-basededucation into current secondary science and mathematics curricula. Attracting secondary school students to engineering; enhancing the perception of career opportunities in engineering; and improving students SMET related skills to become successful engineers. Instilling an awareness of the importance of learning science and mathematics skills in K-6administrators, teachers, parents, and students. Increasing the quantity and quality of gender and ethnic student diversity in SMET related courses.The partners form a unique alliance among engineering and education faculty of the University ofCincinnati (UC), the Southwest Ohio section of High Schools That Work (HSTW), and the GreaterCincinnati Tech. Prep. For this planning proposal, we have presented our preliminary thoughts on the main elements envisionedfor Project SMART, including: 1) teacher professional development; 2) educational resources forteachers; 3) student programs: out of the classroom and into the world of science and mathematics; 4) pre-engineering program for high school students; and 5) evaluation, assessment and improvement. Inparticular, we have proposed special programs specifically targeting traditionally underrepresented groupsin SMET related fields including ethnic minorities and girls. In addition, we have presented our views onininstructional theorylu which will form the context for the planning and development of these elements.The Project Committee believes that the implementation of Project SMART in the microcosm ofCincinnati is transferable to other school districts struggling with similar education problems. During thelast century, Ohio lead the nation as a strong manufacturing state. Now, we must change our educationalstyle to keep up with society's technological demands. Project SMART is envisioned to transform thelives of students it touches by tearing down barriers to high paying jobs and creating informed citizens.

提案编号：0230535校长：Kukreti，Anant机构名称：辛辛那提大学主校区标题：科学和数学基于真实探究的教学：项目智能为K-12摘要项目智能合作伙伴工程和教育教师与K-12教育工作者授权高中学生成功完成大学学业。SMART项目认识到，有效的学生教育需要真实的、基于探究的学习。通过解决基于真实的世界例子的开放式问题，学生将把他们的教育与他们的日常生活联系起来，并欣赏科学和数学在现代社会中的内在和有形价值。ProjectSMART的五个目标包括：提高所有学生的科学和数学成绩，与我们的首要目标一致。l培训中学科学和数学教育工作者，将真实的，基于探究的教育纳入当前的中学科学和数学课程。吸引中学生学习工程学;增强对工程学职业机会的认识;提高学生的中小企业培训技能，使他们成为成功的工程师。灌输学习科学和数学技能的K-6管理员，教师，家长和学生的重要性的意识。在SMET相关课程中增加性别和种族学生多样性的数量和质量。合作伙伴在辛辛那提大学（UC），西南俄亥俄州高中（HSTW）和GreaterCincinnati Tech的工程和教育学院之间形成了独特的联盟。针对这一规划建议，我们提出了我们对SMART项目主要内容的初步想法，包括：1）教师专业发展; 2）教师教育资源; 3）学生计划：走出课堂，进入科学和数学的世界; 4）高中学生的工程预科计划; 5）评估，评估和改进。特别是，我们提出了专门针对中小企业和技术相关领域传统上代表性不足的群体，包括少数民族和女孩的特别方案。此外，我们提出了我们的意见inininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininininin在上个世纪，俄亥俄州作为一个强大的制造业州引领全国。现在，我们必须改变我们的教育方式，以跟上社会的技术需求。SMART项目的设想是通过拆除获得高薪工作的障碍和创造知情公民来改变学生的生活。
