He Sapa Oyate: Geoscience Community at the Heart of Everything That Is (OEDG Track 2)

轨道2：He Sapa Oyate：一切事物的核心的地球科学社区“He Sapa Oyate：一切事物的中心的地球科学社区”将专业的地球科学家和教育工作者聚集在一起，以增加美洲原住民对地球科学的参与。本土科学与当代科学相结合，在黑山具有重要文化意义的地点为学生和教师提供户外实地体验。该项目支持从中学到本科的各级中学教师和学生在对拉科塔具有重要科学意义和文化意义的地点进行“基于地点”的教育体验。利用经过验证的教育理论和实践，将拉科塔观点和文化价值观纳入地球科学教育机会。正在使用现代化的实验室设备、现场技术和三维可视化技术。参与者的经验使他们参与了与当地社区有关的重大研究项目，这些项目是与南达科他州矿产与技术学院(SDSMT)地球科学教职员工和研究人员合作设计和执行的。一名被选为何萨帕·奥亚特研究员的SDSMT学生参加SDSMT的科学研究活动。科学引进的成果将提交给同行评审的科学出版物，与教育理论和实践有关的成果将提交在教育期刊上发表(例如，《地球科学教育杂志》、《美洲印第安人教育杂志》)，学生、教师和项目团队成员将在专业会议上报告结果。国家科学基金会的激励竞争性研究实验计划(EPSCoR)为该项目提供了部分支持。

Track 2: He Sapa Oyate: Geoscience Community at the Heart of Everything That Is"He Sapa Oyate: Geosciences Community at the Heart of Everything That Is" brings together professional geoscientists and educators to increase the participation of Native Americans in the geosciences. Indigenous science is integrated with contemporary science, using outdoor field-based experiences for students and teachers at culturally significant sites in the Black Hills. This project supports secondary teachers and students at all levels from middle school to undergraduate levels in "place-based" educational experiences at sites that are scientifically important and culturally significant to the Lakota. Lakota perspectives and cultural values are incorporated into geoscience educational opportunities using proven educational theory and practices. Modern laboratory equipment, field techniques and 3-D visualization technology are being employed. The participants' experiences lead to involvement in significant research projects that are relevant to the local community and designed and executed in collaboration with South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSMT) geosciences faculty and researchers. A SDSMT student selected as the He Sapa Oyate Fellow participates in scientific research activity at SDSMT. Results of scientific import will be submitted to peer-reviewed scientific publications, results related to education theory and practice will be submitted for publication in education journals (e.g., Journal of Geosciences Education, Journal of American Indian Education), and students, teachers and project team members will report results at professional meetings. The Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) at the National Science Foundation provided partial support for this project.
