The "Professional Development Materials to Develop Student Knowledge and Skills of Scientific Argumentation" project is a proof of concept project. This project proposes to produce prototype professional development materials to enhance the capacity of middle school teachers to increase students' science knowledge and argumentation skills (making claims, challenging claims, supporting claims with reasons, criticizing those reasons and explaining judgments). Subsequent to the development of the prototype, the project investigates the level of teacher implementation of the professional development materials. A total of 36 middle school teachers participate in the piloting of the professional development resources. Teachers participate in two weeks (60 hours) of professional development to learn how to implement the curriculum in their classrooms. They engage in 90 hours of on-line and after school activities to refine their understanding of argumentation skills. Approximately 1000 7th grade students will be impacted by the project. The project documents the development of scientific argumentation skills of the middle school students. The argumentation skills are predicted to benefit students beyond the middle school years. Research data on cognitive strategy, instructional procedures, cooperative discussion, writing protocols and the effectiveness of the professional development support material will be collected.

“专业发展材料，发展学生的科学论证知识和技能”项目是一个概念项目的证明。 本项目建议制作原型专业发展材料，以提高中学教师的能力，增加学生的科学知识和论证技能（提出主张、质疑主张、用理由支持主张、批评这些理由和解释判断）。 在开发原型之后，本项目调查了教师实施专业发展材料的水平。 共有36名中学教师参与了专业发展资源的试点。 教师参加为期两周（60小时）的专业发展，学习如何在课堂上实施课程。 他们参加90小时的在线和课后活动，以完善他们对论证技能的理解。 大约1000名七年级学生将受到该项目的影响。 该项目记录了中学生科学论证技能的发展。论证技能预计将有利于学生超过中学几年。本研究将收集有关认知策略、教学程序、合作讨论、写作协议和专业发展支持材料的有效性的研究数据。
