This project is studying two RET models at Florida State University. The first is offered by the Center for the Integration of Research and Learning (CIRL) at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. The researchers characterize it as a traditional RET in which teachers are placed in individual faculty laboratories to participate in on-going research. Participants in this program come together daily for discussion and activities focused on pedagogical issues. The second is offered by the Office of Science Teaching Activities (OSTA) in the College of Arts and Sciences. It is a non-traditional program with two scientists and two master teachers working full time with participants who develop their own scientific research agendas. In the second program participants also engage in "inquiry on the process of inquiry" in which they conduct a pedagogical research project on the essential features of inquiry. The researchers are examining the impact of these programs on teacher knowledge and practices, professional development and retention, and student learning. The project will "generate a deeper and more generalizable knowledge of the necessary features of RET's." The research goals are to (1) analyze the essential features of RET programs, (2) examine participants' understanding and enactment of inquiry, (3) study interactions with the personal characteristics of participants, and (4) assess the influence of inquiry teaching on student learning in science.

这个项目正在研究佛罗里达州立大学的两个RET模型。第一个是由国家强磁场实验室的研究与学习集成中心（CIRL）提供的。研究人员将其描述为传统的RET，其中教师被安排在个别教师实验室中参与正在进行的研究。这个项目的参与者每天聚在一起讨论和活动，重点是教学问题。第二种是由文理学院科学教学活动办公室（OSTA）提供的。这是一个非传统的项目，有两名科学家和两名硕士教师全职与参与者一起制定自己的科学研究议程。在第二个项目中，参与者还参与了“关于探究过程的探究”，其中他们对探究的基本特征进行了一个教学研究项目。研究人员正在研究这些项目对教师知识和实践、专业发展和保留以及学生学习的影响。该项目将“对RET的必要特征产生更深入、更普遍的认识”。本研究的目标是：(1)分析探究课程的基本特征，(2)检验参与者对探究的理解和实施，(3)研究参与者与个人特征的互动，以及(4)评估探究教学对学生科学学习的影响。
