Collaborative Research: DLESE Data Services - Facilitating the Development and Effective Use of Earth System Science Data in Education

本项目将促进开发和有效使用利用地球系统科学数据集和工具的教育材料，这些数据集和工具大部分是为科学家开发的，也是由科学家开发的。 该项目将组织讲习班，使范围广泛的地球科学数据提供者、数据访问和分析/探索工具开发者以及教育资源开发者聚集一堂，指导数据访问和分析工具的开发，以确保其有效性和教育界可用性，并开始利用现有地球科学数据集和数据访问和分析工具开发教育模块。 这些讲习班的成果将以两份报告的形式出现，这两份报告是根据讲习班期间使用的在线报告系统编写的。 其中一份报告将针对数据提供者和工具开发者，以指导进一步的数据访问和分析工具开发。 另一份报告将针对教育界，其中将包括关于讲习班上介绍的现有数据集和工具的信息，以及讨论的在教育模块中使用这些数据集和工具的想法。 DLESE数据服务处还将开展协同活动，旨在确定：（1）各级教育界对数据集和数据访问及分析工具的需求;（2）教育界使用的利用地球科学数据集和数据分析工具的现有教育模块。 这些现有的模块和由于支助活动而开发的模块将被纳入DLESE汇编。 为了扩大我们工作的影响，DLESE数据服务将与其他DLESE核心服务进行交互。 该项目确定的教育模块将被带到DLESE收集服务处，以编入DLESE。 DLESE数据服务将与DLESE社区服务互动，为他们在教育背景下使用地球科学数据的“范例”提供材料，并使用DLESE社区服务支持社区的持续互动。 DLESE数据服务处将与DLESE评价服务处合作，对教育模块中使用数据进行全面需求评估，并进行调查，以确定使用地球科学数据的现有教育模块。 DLESE数据服务还将与DLESE计划中心合作，为DLESE带来访问实时和存档地球科学数据集的功能，以及以有意义的方式探索这些数据的能力。

ABSTRACTThe project will facilitate the development and effective use educational materials that make use of Earth system science datasets and tools that for the most part have been developed for and by scientists. This project will organize workshops that bring together a wide range of Earth science data providers, developers of data access and analysis/exploration tools, and developers of educational resources to guide the development of data access and analysis tools to ensure they are effective and usable by the educational community, and to begin to develop educational modules using available Earth science datasets and data access and analysis tools. The outcomes of these workshops will be in the form of two reports, developed from online report systems used during the workshop. One of these reports will be aimed at the data providers and tools developers to guide further data access and analysis tools development. The other report will be aimed at the education community, and will include information about available datasets and tools presented at the workshop and the ideas discussed for using those datasets and tools in educational modules. DLESE Data Services will also conduct synergistic activities aimed at identifying 1) dataset and data access and analysis tool needs of the educational community at all levels and 2) existing educational modules utilizing Earth science datasets and data analysis tools that are used by the educational community. These existing modules and those developed as a result of support activities will be brought into the DLESE collection. In order to extend the impact of our efforts, DLESE Data Services will interact with the other DLESE core services. Educational modules identified by this project will be brought to the DLESE Collections Services to be cataloged into DLESE. DLESE Data Services will interact with DLESE Community Services by providing material for their "exemplars" in using Earth science data in an educational context, and using DLESE Community Services to support the continued interaction of the community. DLESE Data Services will work with DLESE Evaluation Services in the development of the comprehensive needs assessment for the use of data in educational modules and the survey for the identification of existing educational modules that use Earth science data. DLESE Data Services will also work with the DLESE Program Center to bring the functionality that would bring access to real-time and archived Earth science datasets and the ability to explore that data in meaningful ways to DLESE.
